Whitening is not one-size-fits-all. We’ll evaluate your teeth, discuss the results you want, and honestly explain whether KöR whitening, custom trays, or an over-the-counter product is the best choice for your smile.
During an in-office visit, we’ll clean your teeth, protect your gums, and apply professional-strength KöR whitening treatment to brighten your smile in about 1–2 hours.
Using precise digital impressions from our Primescan scanner, we’ll design whitening trays shaped specifically for your smile. After your initial 2–3 weeks of whitening, you can keep the trays for convenient touch-ups whenever needed.
Beautiful cosmetic results begin with the right diagnosis. Before recommending whitening, we'll evaluate your teeth, existing dental work, and the type of discoloration you're trying to improve. If whitening isn't the best solution, we'll explain why and recommend another treatment that better fits your goals.
With preventive dentistry, periodontal care, veneers, and a range of other cosmetic dental services, we can address concerns that whitening alone may not improve and develop a more complete plan for your smile.
Here’s why patients like you come to us to lift years of stubborn stains:

Maybe. For some patients, over-the-counter whitening strips are enough to achieve their goals. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your smile and recommend the whitening option that's most appropriate based on your discoloration, sensitivity, existing dental work, and desired results.
Professional whitening results can last from several months to a few years, depending on your diet, oral hygiene, and exposure to stain-causing foods and drinks.
Yes, but your dentist may adjust the strength, timing, or frequency of treatment to reduce discomfort and protect sensitive teeth.
Whitening works best on yellow or brown surface stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and aging, while deeper internal discoloration may need a different treatment approach.
No, whitening only changes the color of natural enamel, so crowns, veneers, fillings, and other restorations will stay the same shade.
Cavities and active gum concerns should be treated before whitening to avoid irritation and protect your oral health.
You don’t have to keep hiding your smile because of stains or discoloration.
Whether you're looking for a subtle refresh or a dramatic smile transformation, we'll help you choose the whitening option that's right for you and your goals.
