Long-Term Brightness
Professional whitening provides longer-lasting, more even results than over-the-counter products, so you can enjoy your new smile for longer.
Understanding Teeth Stains
There are many factors that contribute to tooth discoloration. Common causes include:
- Food and Beverages: Drinks like coffee, tea, and wine can stain teeth over time.
- Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco can cause persistent staining.
- Aging: As we get older, our teeth naturally darken.
- Medications: Certain medications can cause discoloration.
- Genetics: Some people are more prone to discoloration due to their genetic makeup.
Should You Whiten Your Teeth?
A brighter smile can boost your confidence and leave a lasting impression. Teeth whitening is a simple, non-invasive way to restore the brightness of your smile, especially if your teeth have been stained by food, drinks, smoking, or aging. Whether it’s for a special occasion, a job interview, or just to feel your best every day, whitening your teeth helps you look and feel more confident.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Get Results Fast
While store-bought kits promise results over weeks or even months, our professional whitening treatments deliver noticeable changes in just one visit. With KōR and Zoom!, you can brighten your smile by several shades immediately.
Safe and Customized
Over-the-counter whitening products often come with one-size-fits-all solutions that can be harsh on your teeth and gums. Our whitening treatments are specifically tailored to your unique needs, including sensitivity levels, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience.
Long-Lasting Results
Store-bought kits often give temporary results that fade quickly, meaning you'll need to repeat treatments frequently. With professional whitening, you get longer-lasting, more dramatic results that keep your smile bright for months, saving you the hassle and cost of continual touch-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between professional whitening and over-the-counter products?
Professional whitening uses stronger whitening agents, custom-fitted trays, and expert application techniques for superior, longer-lasting results. Over-the-counter products may be less effective and often don’t provide the same level of customization and precision.
Will whitening affect my dental work?
Teeth whitening won’t affect existing dental work such as crowns, veneers, or fillings. However, your dental work may need to be updated to match your newly whitened teeth, which we can help you with during your visits.
How often can I whiten my teeth?
Professional whitening can be safely repeated every 6-12 months, depending on your individual needs and how well you maintain your results. We’ll work with you to determine the best timing for your touch-ups.
Do you offer take-home whitening options in Richardson, TX?
Yes, we offer custom-fitted take-home whitening trays so you can maintain your bright smile at your convenience. These trays are designed to give you the best results while being comfortable and easy to use.
How soon can I eat after teeth whitening?
We recommend avoiding dark-colored foods and drinks (such as coffee, tea, and wine) for 24-48 hours after your whitening treatment to protect your results and avoid re-staining.
Can all stains be removed with whitening?
While most external stains (from food, beverages, or smoking) respond well to whitening, internal stains (often from medications or natural aging) may require other cosmetic treatments, like veneers or bonding.
