What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a simple dental treatment that removes stains and discoloration to brighten your natural smile. The process uses gentle, professional-grade peroxide gels that dissolve stains both on the surface and deep within your teeth, creating a whiter, cleaner appearance.
Our dental office offers two main whitening options:
- In-office treatment: A one-hour session that provides immediate results.
- Take-home kits: Custom-fitted trays with whitening gel for gradual whitening at home.
Both methods are effective and can lighten teeth by 6-12 shades. The results typically last several months to 3 years, depending on your habits and oral care routine.
All types of professional teeth whitening are safe, comfortable, and produces more dramatic results than over-the-counter products. It’s a quick way to boost your confidence and create a lasting positive impression.

Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?
Teeth can become stained for several reasons, including food and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine, soda), smoking and tobacco use, aging, certain medications, and poor oral hygiene. If you’re experiencing stained or discolored teeth, our whitening treatments can help restore their natural brightness.
Most patients with healthy teeth and gums are great candidates for teeth whitening. If you have sensitive teeth, dental restorations, or existing oral health issues, we’ll assess your condition and recommend the best whitening option for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does professional teeth whitening cost in Bastrop, TX?
Professional teeth whitening costs at Spring St. Dental vary depending on whether you choose in-office treatment or take-home kits. In-office whitening typically provides dramatic results in a single 60-90 minute session, while take-home kits with custom-fitted trays offer gradual whitening over several weeks. Most dental insurance plans consider teeth whitening cosmetic and don’t provide coverage, though some plans may offer partial coverage if deemed medically necessary. As an out-of-network provider, Spring St. Dental accepts all major dental insurance and maximizes your benefits by filing claims on your behalf and providing detailed cost estimates before treatment begins. We offer flexible financing through CareCredit and Alpheon, and our Plan for Health membership with three tiers (Child, Adult, and Perio plans) provides comprehensive discounts with no annual maximums or waiting periods. Many patients also use HSA or FSA accounts to cover whitening costs.
How long does professional teeth whitening last?
Professional teeth whitening results from our Bastrop practice typically last 1-3 years, depending on your habits and maintenance routine. In-office treatments can lighten teeth by 6-12 shades in a single visit. Patients who avoid staining foods and beverages like coffee, wine, tea, and tobacco maintain their results longer. Those who regularly consume staining substances may need touch-ups every 6-12 months. With proper oral hygiene—brushing twice daily with whitening toothpaste, flossing regularly, and visiting our Bastrop office every six months for professional cleanings—many patients maintain bright results for over two years. We provide detailed maintenance instructions and offer touch-up treatments to help preserve your beautiful white smile. Professional whitening lasts significantly longer than over-the-counter drugstore products.
Is professional teeth whitening safe for my teeth and enamel?
Yes, professional teeth whitening at Spring St. Dental is extremely safe when performed by trained dentists. We use FDA-approved whitening agents in controlled concentrations and protect your gums during treatment. Research shows that professional whitening with hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide doesn’t damage tooth enamel when proper protocols are followed. The whitening process temporarily opens enamel pores to remove stains, but enamel remineralizes naturally within 24-48 hours. While some patients experience temporary sensitivity for 24-48 hours after treatment, this typically resolves quickly. We evaluate your teeth and gums before treatment, customize treatment strength based on your sensitivity levels, and provide desensitizing treatments when needed. Professional whitening is much safer than over-the-counter products, which can cause gum irritation, uneven results, or enamel damage when used improperly.
Can I get my teeth whitened if I have sensitive teeth or dental work?
Yes, patients with sensitive teeth can receive professional whitening at our Bastrop practice with proper precautions. We use desensitizing treatments before and after whitening, adjust gel concentration for comfort, and use custom trays to keep gel away from gum lines. Some patients benefit from using sensitivity toothpaste for a few weeks before treatment or starting with shorter treatment times. If you have dental work like crowns, veneers, bridges, or fillings, it’s important to know these restorations won’t change color during whitening. At Spring St. Dental, we evaluate your existing dental work before treatment and discuss how whitening will affect your smile appearance. If you have visible dental work, we may recommend whitening your natural teeth first, then replacing the dental work to match your new shade, or suggest alternative cosmetic treatments for uniform results.
