The sun is high in the sky and making everything brighter! Your teeth should not be excluded. Over the years, our teeth can become dull in appearance. Stains from the food we eat and coffee we drink can stain our teeth. As time goes on, the stains can get deeper and deeper. Whitening your teeth can get you that brighter smile for the summer, but it can also prevent stains from getting too severe. If you are looking to refresh your smile, whitening can be the fastest and easiest step. There are two options for whitening: in-office treatments or an at-home system. 

In-office whitening

Bleaching products at home can cause pain and sensitivity. Professional treatments can be controlled in the office to create a more comfortable experience. A professional whitening can get your teeth to a level of whiteness unobtainable at home. Using the KöR®-whitening system, the treatment can get you a dazzling white smile in a very short period of time. You and your dentist can make a custom plan to determine just how white and bright you want your smile to get.

At-home whitening

There are many over-the-counter whitening systems that can get your smile a bit brighter. There are whitening toothpastes, mouthwashes, and even toothbrushes that can make a small difference in your smile. These options may work if you are not looking for a dramatically white smile. If you want dramatic results, but still want to do it on your own at home, there are options. Your dentist can fit you with a custom tray equipped with a whitening gel for you to use at home on your own time. The results will not be quite as dramatic as the in-office option, but it can make an impact on your smile.
