Overview of Teeth Whitening at Clio Dental Studio
Clio Dental Studio is a dental practice located in Houston Heights that offers professional teeth whitening as part of its cosmetic dentistry services. Whitening recommendations are based on an individual assessment of oral health and patient goals.
Personalized Whitening Approach
Whitening care begins with a consultation to review dental history, existing restorations, and sensitivity considerations. Based on this evaluation, a whitening option may be recommended.
Some patients are candidates for in-office whitening, while others may prefer custom take-home whitening trays used according to dentist-provided instructions.
Technology Used in Whitening Planning
Diagnostic tools such as digital X-rays and intraoral imaging may be used to evaluate oral health prior to whitening. When custom trays are recommended, digital impressions may be taken to support proper tray fit.

Types of Teeth Whitening Services
Professional teeth whitening options vary based on patient preference, convenience, and clinical suitability.
In-Office Whitening
In-office whitening is performed within the dental office under professional supervision. Protective measures may be used to support patient comfort during treatment.
The specific process and number of visits depend on individual evaluation and treatment planning.
Custom Take-Home Whitening Kits
Custom take-home whitening kits include trays fabricated to fit a patient’s teeth. Whitening gel is provided with usage instructions tailored to the individual.
This option allows whitening to be completed gradually at home based on dentist guidance.
Professional vs. Store-Bought Whitening
Over-the-counter whitening products are not customized and are used without professional supervision. Professional whitening is planned based on oral health evaluation and includes dentist guidance.
Store-bought products may be used for cosmetic maintenance but do not replace professional dental care.
Additional Cosmetic Dental Services
In addition to whitening, Clio Dental Studio offers other cosmetic and restorative dental services based on individual treatment planning.
Veneers
Veneers are restorations placed on the front surfaces of teeth to address concerns such as shape, spacing, or discoloration that may not be corrected through whitening alone.
Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners may be offered for orthodontic treatment when appropriate. Digital impressions may be used as part of treatment planning.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth and are planned based on clinical evaluation and imaging when indicated.
What to Expect During Whitening Care
Whitening care is planned to align with oral health findings and patient preferences.
General Treatment Process
The process typically begins with an exam and consultation. The whitening method, number of visits, and home care instructions are determined during treatment planning.
Post-Treatment Care
Patients are advised to maintain oral hygiene practices such as brushing, flossing, and routine dental cleanings. Dentist guidance may be provided regarding maintenance of whitening results.
Safety and Sensitivity Considerations
Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity associated with whitening. Suitability for whitening is determined during consultation.
Only natural teeth respond to whitening; existing restorations do not change color.
