What are ’soft teeth’?
Teeth Whitening
What do bright, white teeth say to you? A dazzling smile conveys vibrancy and success. Whitening your teeth is a fast, safe and inexpensive way to get an "instant makeover."
Stains from foods, beverages, and tobacco can diminish the color of your teeth and detract from your image. Teeth whitening is an extremely popular, effective, and simple procedure that can take years off a person’s appearance. Dr. Shetty offers three of the most successful methods of teeth whitening that lighten stains caused by a variety of factors. She will help you decide whether Zoom! Whitening, KöR Deep Bleaching, or take-home teeth whitening is right for your smile.
Zoom! Whitening
Zoom! Whitening combines a potent bleaching solution with blue-light technology to gently lighten teeth up to 10 shades. The entire procedure takes about two hours, and the results are long-lasting. In fact, Zoom! Whitening can last indefinitely if you follow post-whitening instructions and touch-up your smile periodically. Dr. Shetty typically recommends Zoom! Whitening for patients who want dramatic results fast and have mild to moderate stains.
KöR Deep Bleaching™
Kör Deep Bleaching is a simple, two-step whitening procedure that has proven effective at lightening the most stubborn stains, including stains caused by tetracycline. With KöR Deep Bleaching, patients visit us for an in-office whitening session and then follow-up with take-home whitening trays worn during sleep. KöR Deep Bleaching boasts permanent results that brighten smiles up to 16 shades. Dr. Shetty may suggest KöR Deep Bleaching if your smile has moderate to severe stains. Patients who have tried other whitening systems without success often achieve favorable results with KöR Deep Bleaching. With the correct follow up, you bright new smile will last for years.
Take-Home Whitening
To lighten your teeth more gradually, over a period of about two weeks, consider take-home teeth whitening. Our team will take impressions of your teeth and fabricate custom whitening trays. The trays ensure consistent results and a comfortable experience. Line the trays with our bleaching solution, which contains a higher concentration of peroxide than over-the-counter brands, and wear the trays daily as directed. You’ll notice results immediately, and in about two weeks, your teeth will lighten up to eight shades.
