Why Whiten Your Teeth With Whitening Treatments?

Not everyone can maintain pearly white teeth through daily dental hygiene and regular teeth cleanings/polishes. Especially if your favorite food or drink is known to stain teeth, maintaining a white smile requires an extra step. The solution is cosmetic treatments to whiten teeth. Teeth whitening will not alter your tooth structure or existing dental work and can help you achieve your desired smile appearance.

What Causes Teeth Discoloration or Staining?

  • Food and Drinks: including coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored fruits and vegetables.
  • Age: Tooth enamel becomes thinner as you age, revealing yellow dentin underneath.
  • Medications: Some medications, such as tetracycline and doxycycline, can cause tooth discoloration.
  • Poor Oral Hygiene: Not brushing or flossing regularly can promote plaque buildup, leading to tooth discoloration.
  • Tobacco Use: Repeated use of tobacco products and smoking can cause yellowing or brown stains on teeth.
  • Medical Conditions: Some medical conditions like genetic predisposition or excessive fluorine intake can discolor teeth.

Can Yellow Teeth Become White?

Yellow teeth can often be fixed and become white again with dental whitening treatments. Professional whitening treatments are safer, faster and more efficient than drugstore approaches. In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, crowns or veneers may be the only options. However, tooth bleaching is always worth a try because of the low cost of bleaching treatments.

Benefits of Our Professional Teeth Whitening Treatments

  1. Corrects brown, yellow and spotted staining on natural teeth.
  2. Can be customized to meet your specific preferences.
  3. Safe and quick results - noticeable changes within 2 weeks.
  4. Little to no tooth sensitivity, common with other conventional whitening treatments.
  5. Long-lasting whitening effects that can remain up to several years.

Safe & Effective Teeth Whitening Kits

Windsor Family Dental offers whitening kits from Philips or KöR. Both use custom tooth trays and prescribed treatment strengths to help you achieve the pearly shades of white you’ve always wanted. Deciding which treatment option is right for you will depend on your goals. Our friendly dentists will go over both whitening kits and recommend the option right for you.

Philips Teeth Whitening Kits at Home

Custom teeth whitening trays from Phillips offer consistent results for each tooth. Once you see your results, you’ll be happy you passed on the “DIY teeth whitening” guide you found online. If you are vigilant with dental hygiene and receive whitening treatments but still struggle with discolored teeth, talk to your dentist!

Philips Teeth Whitening Cost

The cost of teeth whitening kits from Philips at Windsor Family Dental is $283 for a new bleaching kit with trays. If you are only looking for touch-up kits, we offer them at $92.

Teeth Whitening Procedure

  1. We will take an impression of your teeth.
  2. In a day or two, your custom trays will be ready for pickup. A bleaching agent to be placed inside the trays will be prescribed based on your individual needs.
  3. Wear your trays for the prescribed amount of time, usually about 30 minutes per day. You should start noticing results in one to two weeks.
  4. Maintain the brightness of your new smile with occasional touch-up treatments.

Brighten Your Smile with KöR Whitening

KöR teeth whitening in Windsor, WI

We now offer a beefier whitening system that provides exceptional results to every patient, every time. In as little as 3 days to 6 weeks, your teeth will brighten up to your desired shade. The process consists of our dental assistants taking impressions of your teeth and fabricating trays in-house to custom-fit your mouth. You’ll whiten at home for 2-4 weeks and then come in for a final in-office session. We offer KöR Daytime (9% Hydrogen Peroxide 2 x 5 ml syringes) and Nighttime (16% Carbamide Peroxide 2 x 5 ml syringes) treatments.

KöR uses a pH of 7 which is a more neutral agent and better for the teeth. This whitening method is mostly permanent and you’ll experience little to no sensitivity. We recommend only those aged 14 and up use this method of teeth bleaching.

KöR Teeth Whitening Cost

For full mouth KöR teeth whitening, it typically costs $750 for all the tools and procedures you’ll need at home and in the office. If you choose to just do one arch, the cost is $375. Extra syringes (2) for maintenance will be an additional $50.

Teeth Whitening Procedure

  • During your first appointment, a dental assistant will take impressions of your teeth. This generally takes about 30 minutes. We make the whitening trays in-house to custom fit your mouth.
  • At your next appointment, you may have in-office conditioning to prepare your teeth for the whitening procedure. We will also deliver your trays. This will take about an hour with two conditioning sessions (using 13% Hydremide Peroxide) running about 20 minutes in length.
  • You’ll take your trays home and whiten your teeth daily for about 2-4 weeks. During the day you’ll wear the trays for about an hour and at night you’ll wear them while you sleep. You’ll receive enough 5 mL KoR whitening gel syringes for whitening 2 times a day.
  • At your last appointment, we’ll provide an in-office whitening (34% Hydremide peroxide) to really solidify the whitening results. This will take about an hour and a half to complete with three sessions at 20 minutes a piece.

Disclaimer: We recommend using sensitive toothpaste while you’re whitening at home. Also, avoid food or beverages that stain the teeth.

Teeth Whitening With Porcelain Veneers

An alternative option to whitening your existing teeth and still brightening your smile is through receiving porcelain veneers. These kinds of veneers are a thin shell made from porcelain that is placed on the front of visible teeth. The result is a smile customized to the exact shade of white you desire, one that will last longer than whitening the natural surface of your teeth. Porcelain veneers can also correct tooth size, shape, alignment and spacing, giving you an even more perfect smile.

The price of this more permanent modification is more than natural whitening treatments. However, if you are motivated to have your smile looking its best without frequent visits to the dentist, porcelain veneers could be your best option and may save you money in the long run.

Dental Crowns & Teeth Whitening

If you have dental crowns, the shade chosen during the procedure will match that of your existing tooth color. If your natural teeth begin to yellow, you may want to consider getting a whitening treatment to blend them with your crowns. Whitening treatments will not affect crowns since they are designed to be resistant to discoloration, meaning they will stay the same color from when you got them. Some whitening methods such as bleaching may actually damage the crown if it's old or your surrounding teeth have decayed. Teeth bleaching is only recommended if done before your crown procedure.

If you have crowns, talk to your dentist before scheduling a teeth whitening appointment. The dentists at Windsor will help you choose the best option when it comes to whitening your smile.

Crest Whitestrips on Tooth Restorations 

If you've had restorative work done to your teeth, you may wonder if the whitening process will change their color. Bleaching, whitening trays and Crest Whitestrips will not harm or whiten crowns, caps, fillings, veneers, partials, or composite bonding. If you have yellowed teeth and also need a restorative procedure, it's recommended that you have your teeth whitened before the restoration. After your teeth have been whitened, your dentist will be able to better match your dental restoration to the color of your natural teeth.

If you’re ready for a whiter smile, contact our office today. We assist patients in the town of Windsor from the surrounding areas including Arlington, DeForestWaunakee and all of Columbia County and Dane County, Wisconsin.

Teeth Whitening FAQs

How long does KoR Whitening last?

With proper maintenance (regular touch-ups) and exceptional dental hygiene, KoR whitening is permanent. It offers dramatic results that are much more long-lasting than other whitening kits on the market. Speak with one of our dentists at Windsor to see if KoR Whitening is right for you.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Certain at-home whitening kits may cause gum irritation, tooth sensitivity and harm to your tooth enamel, that's why it's best to go to a professional for all teeth whitening services. At Windsor Family Dental, you get the benefit of a brighter, whiter smile with take-home, custom-made whitening trays.

Is there pain or discomfort associated with teeth whitening?

Many people experience high levels of tooth sensitivity or pain during the treatment or after. The pain and discomfort you feel will depend on your own oral sensitivity. If you do have teeth or gum sensitivity, talk to your dentist about potentially adjusting your treatment to account for the sensitivity. Windsor also offers KoR whitening options that have produced little to no sensitivity for most patients.

Is there an age restriction on teeth whitening?

Most professional teeth whitening can be done at any age, but KoR whitening systems are recommended for ages 14 and up (when permanent teeth have fully erupted). It's not recommended to whiten baby teeth since whitening agents are abrasive and can cause demineralization over time.

How white will my teeth get?

KoR whitening methods can lighten your teeth up to 16 shades. Other whitening methods promise 7-8 shades lighter, but these results are not always guaranteed.

Will my crowns, veneers, or fillings whiten too?

No. Crowns, veneers, and fillings are made of strong materials that are designed to be stain-resistant. When you have a tooth restoration performed, the restoration will be designed to match the rest of your teeth for a natural look. This is why it's recommended to have your teeth whitened before your restorative procedure for a perfect, white smile.

What foods and drinks affect tooth color?

The basic rule of thumb when it comes to tooth staining is that anything that can stain a white t-shirt will probably stain your teeth. Included in this list is coffee, tea, berries, dark cola, tomato sauces, soy sauce, and a handful of candy/sweets.
