How does teeth whitening work?
Teeth whitening at Atherton Smiles is a cosmetic dental procedure that removes teeth stains and discoloration, leading to a brighter, more radiant smile. The teeth whitening process typically involves the following steps:
- Consultation with your dentist in Atherton: An Atherton dental professional will assess your oral health and discuss goals.
- Preparation: A member of our team of Atherton dental professionals will clean teeth and protect gums.
- Application: We will apply whitening gel, using the KöR whitening system.
- Waiting: The gel needs to sit to yield the desired effect.
- Rinse.
- After-care: Follow post-treatment care instructions given by your Atherton dental professional.
At Atherton Smiles, we use the advanced KöR whitening system, renowned for yielding effective and lasting results. Unlike other whitening methods, KöR uses a unique, specially formulated refrigerated whitening gel that deeply penetrates the enamel to dissolve and lift stains. Combined with custom-fitted trays, this teeth whitening treatment ensures maximum comfort and effectiveness. It is ideal for removing deep discoloration that over-the-counter products often can't reach. KöR whitening offers long-lasting results, restoring your smile's natural brightness and confidence.

What to expect and what to avoid after teeth whitening:
After your teeth whitening procedure, it's important to:
- Avoid foods and drinks that can stain your teeth for at least 24 hours - such as coffee, tea, and red wine.

Following the above habits will help prolong the results of your teeth whitening treatment. You may experience some sensitivity, but rest assured it typically subsides within a few days.
