Are you considering brightening your smile with professional teeth whitening in Pampa, TX? If the answer is yes, you might want to know your options so you can make an informed decision about the right teeth whitening system for your smile. 

Professional Teeth Whitening at Pampa Dental Arts

At Pampa Dental Arts, Dr. Mohr and his team offer two convenient options for bleaching your teeth: In-office professional teeth whitening and custom take-home kits. 

 In-Office vs Take-Home Whitening Kits

In-office teeth whitening is ideal for patients looking for quick results. This may be for a significant upcoming event, like a wedding, vacation, or family reunion. 

During in-office whitening, our team first places a protective barrier around your gums and then applies a high-strength whitening gel to your teeth. We let it do its job before safely removing it. Depending on your needs, we may apply the bleaching gel several times. 

Most patients achieve great results before they even leave our dental office with teeth that are multiple shades lighter.

With a custom take-home kit, our team takes impressions of your teeth, which we use to create custom plastic whitening trays. Dr. Mohr determines the right strength of bleaching gel for your smile based on your goals and level of tooth sensitivity.

You'll wear your bleaching trays at home for 30 minutes a day at your convenience. Most patients achieve their desired results within 10 to 14 days of whitening. Best of all, you always have your whitening trays if you should decide to update your smile in the future before a vacation or big event.
