Why are my teeth yellow or stained?

Everyone loves a brilliantly white smile, but achieving one is not always easy. Your teeth may not be as white as you’d like them because of:

Coffee, red wine, dark berries, tea, and other staining foods and drinks
Plaque and tartar buildup because of poor oral hygiene
Aging effects
Certain medications, including tetracycline
Smoking
Excessive fluoride exposure (fluorosis)

No matter the cause of your tooth staining, we are here to discuss your concerns. Our cosmetic dental treatments will help you achieve the bright white smile you deserve.

What professional teeth whitening options are available?

Several teeth-whitening methods exist, and it’s essential to understand your choices. Some options, like over-the-counter pastes and strips, rarely work and can damage your smile. Our office uses the revolutionary KöR teeth whitening system, which generates outstanding results without compromising oral health.

KöR‘s teeth whitening options include:

In-office teeth whitening: Chairside teeth bleaching suits patients who want instant results. In-office teeth whitening makes your smile several shades whiter in as few as 60 minutes! Patients also enjoy convenience because the dentist does all the work. As you are comfortably seated in the dental chair, the dentist will carefully apply peroxide-based whitening gel on the visible surfaces of your teeth.
Take-home teeth whitening trays: Would you like to whiten your smile gradually on your schedule? At-home teeth whitening trays are an excellent choice. The trays are customized to fit your teeth snugly to avoid leakage. The trays ensure maximum contact with your teeth, leading to consistent results. Whitening trays are worn for 30-60 minutes daily, and many patients achieve the desired results within two weeks. Regardless of the teeth whitening option, you can expect professional outcomes.

Whiter teeth enhance your natural glow and boost your confidence everywhere you go. Discover a radiant smile today that makes you feel good inside out.

How do I maintain my whitened smile?

Teeth whitening effectively eliminates stains and brightens your smile, but it’s important to remember that the results aren’t permanent. However, proper maintenance can help you enjoy your radiant smile for many years.

To maintain your newly whitened smile:

Avoid stain-causing foods and drinks, such as coffee, dark berries, and red wine
Observe good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly
Touch-up treatments may be necessary to keep your teeth looking their best
Visit your dentist bi-annually for teeth cleanings
Quit tobacco use of any form
Keep your mouth hydrated and rinse your mouth with water after meals
