Your Whitening Options

Not sure which kind of whitening you need? There are three ways to go, and the right one comes down to how fast you want results and how your teeth handle bleaching.

In-office whitening

In-office whitening is the fastest route. You settle into the chair, we apply a professional-strength gel and activate it, and you leave noticeably brighter, often after a single visit. It's the one to reach for when there's an event on the calendar. If you want a light-activated, in-office system, our Zoom whitening page goes deeper.

Take-home trays

Take-home trays trade a little speed for control. We take an impression and make custom trays shaped to your teeth, and you whiten at home over a week or two, on your own schedule. Ours use KöR gel, gentle enough that most people whiten overnight with little sensitivity. There's more on the KöR system further down this page.

Laser whitening

Laser whitening is our in-office answer for stubborn, set-in stains. The gel goes on, and a dental laser activates it to break down discoloration that trays alone can struggle with. It's quick, and the difference shows the same day. Our laser whitening page walks through how it works and who it's a fit for.

How is teeth whitening done?

An impression is taken to make a specialized “mouthguard” or “stent” to hold the bleach against the teeth. The material is used each night for about 3-4 hours for a week or two, and at the end of this time, significant whitening will occur. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance, bleaching technology allows us to promise improvements in yellowing, aging or stained teeth. For very severely stained teeth, crowns or dental veneers may be more appropriate.

Considerations for Teeth Whitening

Over-the-counter bleaching agents are available for purchase at drug stores and pharmacies. However, since these products can cause harm to the gums and teeth, it’s better to use products that our practice recommends.

KöR Whitening

Developed by internationally renowned cosmetic dentist and bleaching expert, Dr. Rod Kurthy, the KöR Whitening System is used by thousands of dentists worldwide and is widely considered to be the most reliable and effective whitening system ever developed.

The KöR Whitening system has proven to consistently produce whiter, brighter smiles in patients. In fact, the KöR system is so effective, it is the only recognized whitening system that whitens tetracycline-stained (dark) teeth in a short time (previously considered impossible). And due to its advanced formulation and continuous refrigeration of the whitening gels, there’s little to no sensitivity during the whitening process.

What to Expect: Results, Longevity, and Sensitivity

Here’s the honest picture of what whitening does, and what it doesn’t.

Your Results

Professional whitening lifts most everyday staining from coffee, tea, wine, and age, usually by several shades, and it brightens natural teeth. What it won't do is change the color of crowns, veneers, or fillings. So if you have dental work in your smile line, we plan around it.

How long it lasts

Expect a year or more from a professional treatment, give or take, depending on your habits. Coffee, red wine, and smoking pull the color back sooner. A quick take-home touch-up here and there keeps things bright. Our guide on making teeth whitening last longer covers the aftercare that helps.

Sensitivity

A day or two of mild hot-and-cold sensitivity is normal, and it settles on its own. The KöR system we use is built to keep that low, which is part of why we chose it. Already have sensitive teeth? Tell us up front and we'll adjust the treatment.

Who it suits

Most healthy adults over 18 are good candidates. Whitening works best on clean, cavity-free teeth with healthy gums, so we take care of any decay or gum problems first. Pregnant or nursing? We'll usually suggest holding off until later.

The Unique KöR-Seal Trays

A key to the effectiveness of the KöR system are the unique KöR-Seal™ trays used for at-home whitening. These trays are made of thin clear flexible vinyl and are carefully fabricated to fit precisely to your teeth. Most patients find these trays extremely comfortable to wear and have no trouble sleeping with them. These unique KöR-Seal trays allow room for bleaching gel to be kept in contact with the teeth, and they seal at the gum line so that gel is not diluted, or washed away, by saliva. This ensures the maximum whitening results.

And the KöR Whitening System is perfect for patients 18yrs or older.

How Does KöR Whitening Work?

The KöR Whitening System works by restoring your teeth’s ability to absorb oxygen. The oxygen from KöR’s whitening gel is absorbed deeply into your teeth, dissolving all stain molecules, leaving your teeth incredibly white. And KöR Whitening products have been clinically proven safe on thousands of patients without harming teeth or gums.

The KöR Whitening System is a safe, effective, and convenient cosmetic dentistry procedure that can improve the appearance of teeth, restoring self-esteem and self-confidence.

So, if you’re too embarrassed to smile, have dark-stained teeth, or just simply want a whiter smile, the KöR Whitening System offers the best in whitening science, and is by far the best whitening system available today.

Laser Whitening in Houston, TX

Your smile is one of your most noticeable features, and having bright, white teeth can significantly boost your confidence. Laser teeth whitening is a revolutionary dental treatment designed to remove stubborn stains and discoloration, leaving you with a radiant smile after just one session. Whether your teeth are stained from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, or the natural aging process, this advanced method can help restore their brilliance.

Understanding Laser Teeth Whitening

Laser teeth whitening combines the power of a specially formulated whitening gel with advanced laser technology to achieve exceptional results. The procedure is straightforward yet highly effective. A dentist applies a whitening gel to the teeth, then uses a laser to activate the gel. The laser accelerates stain breakdown, penetrating the enamel to remove discoloration that traditional whitening methods often leave behind.

This treatment is quick, with most sessions lasting about an hour. It is ideal for individuals seeking noticeable results in a short time, making it a popular choice for those preparing for special occasions or simply wanting a boost to their everyday appearance.

Is Laser Teeth Whitening Right for You?

This procedure works best for individuals with healthy teeth and gums who are looking to eliminate surface stains and discoloration. It’s a fantastic option for people who want quick results without the hassle of repeated at-home treatments. However, it’s important to note that it may not be suitable for those with untreated dental issues like cavities or gum disease, or for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals. A dental consultation is the best way to determine if laser whitening is a good fit for you.

The Benefits of Laser Teeth Whitening

One of the most appealing aspects of laser teeth whitening is how fast and efficient it is. Unlike at-home whitening kits, which can take weeks to show subtle improvements, laser whitening offers dramatic results in just one visit. Moreover, the procedure is designed to be comfortable, with dental professionals taking care to protect your gums and minimize sensitivity. For many patients, this means less discomfort compared to other whitening methods.

Beyond the immediate results, laser teeth whitening offers long-lasting benefits. With proper oral care and mindful habits—like limiting foods and drinks that stain, such as coffee or red wine—you can enjoy your brighter smile for a year or more. The treatment is also customizable, allowing dentists to tailor the process to your specific needs, ensuring safety and effectiveness.

How the Process Works

Your laser teeth whitening journey begins with a consultation. During this visit, the dentist assesses your oral health and discusses your goals to ensure the treatment is right for you. If you’re a good candidate, the procedure is straightforward and non-invasive.

The session starts with preparation to protect your gums and soft tissues. A protective barrier is applied, and the whitening gel is carefully placed on your teeth. Then, the laser activates the gel, breaking down stains at a molecular level. After the treatment, the gel is removed, and your teeth are thoroughly cleaned to reveal their newfound brightness.

Caring for Your Smile Post-Treatment

After your laser teeth whitening session, maintaining your results is simple. Avoiding foods and drinks that can stain, like coffee, tea, and dark berries, for the first 48 hours is crucial. Consistent brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups will help keep your teeth healthy and your smile radiant. Many dentists also recommend using a whitening toothpaste to maintain the results for as long as possible.

Your Path to a Brighter Smile

If you’ve ever dreamed of a dazzling white smile, laser teeth whitening could be the perfect solution. The treatment is safe, effective, and designed to deliver impressive results quickly.
