KöR Teeth Whitening – Clute, TX

Causes of Tooth Discoloration

In general, the most common causes of stained teeth are:

• One’s Diet – Certain foods and drinks can stain teeth. Major examples include tomato sauce, red wine, tea, coffee, etc.
• Bad Oral Habits – Whether smoked or chewed, tobacco often stains enamel.
• Medical Issues – In some cases, asthma and blood pressure medicines can result in a discolored smile.
• Poor Hygiene – If you don’t clean your teeth, plaque and tartar will build up and stain the surfaces.
• Age – As your enamel gets thinner with age, your teeth may look more yellow.

Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Many teens and adults can qualify for teeth whitening, as its only major requirement is decent oral health. Just know that treatment helps some folks more than others.

In fact, the best whitening candidates have extrinsic tooth stains. That means treatment is best-suited for smiles discolored by foods, drinks, tobacco, and similar sources. The whitening process isn’t as effective for intrinsic stains, which occur beneath your enamel. With that said, any patient who wants more confidence should see good results.

What to Expect from KöR Teeth Whitening

At your consultation, our team will present you with two teeth whitening options. The first is a take-home kit, while the second approach is a treatment performed by our dentists in the office.

If you choose take-home whitening, we’ll provide you with custom trays and a strong bleaching gel. You’ll then wear the gel-filled trays over your teeth for a few hours every day, all from the comfort of your home. This process will show noticeable results after just two weeks or so.

In-office teeth whitening takes place at our dental practice. At its start, our team will apply bleaching gel onto your smile that penetrates your enamel. This powerful solution will then blast away deep, set-in tooth stains over an hour-long period. As a result, it’ll leave your smile a great deal whiter.

Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

• Natural-Looking Results – While the KöR process is dramatic, its results look natural. The bright smile it gives you won’t seem “off” to others.
• Increased Confidence – With your smile brightened by treatment, you should feel much more confident in yourself.
