Understanding Different Types of Teeth Whitening Options
If your smile looks dull, it’s not necessarily from not taking good care of your teeth. In many cases, it’s just years of stain-causing foods and beverages catching up to you. At Dynamic Dental in Sacramento, California, Drs. Ricardo Andrade and Denisse Montalvo can help you press reset with professional teeth whitening. You get results that don’t just brighten your smile. They boost your confidence, too.
What Teeth Whitening Options Are Offered at Your Office?
We use the Kor whitening system for in-office power bleaching. We recommend this option for people who want a brighter smile quickly.
Do you prefer to whiten your teeth at home? We can take a mold of your teeth to create custom trays you can use whenever convenient. We recommend using the at-home whitening trays for two weeks prior to completing the last step of in-office whitening. At home, all you have to do is pop in the gel and go at your own pace. The gel’s milder than the in-office solution. But steady use keeps your smile sharp for years. Best of all? It’ll still whiten your teeth by four to eight shades.
How Does the Kor System Work, and What Should I Expect from the Teeth Whitening Process?
Your appointment starts with prepping your teeth and gums. While you sit back and relax, the staff will apply a 15% hydrogen peroxide gel to your teeth. A low-level light activates the gel—no stinging, no sharp zaps. Just three rounds of 20-minute whitening sessions and your teeth look instantly brighter.

How Long Do Professional Teeth Whitening Results Last, and How Can I Keep My Smile Looking Bright?
Results can last for months, depending on your lifestyle and habits. To keep your smile bright, avoid dark drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine, especially right after treatment.
Keep up with brushing and flossing, and visit our office for regular checkups and dental cleanings. You can also use your custom take-home trays to touch up occasionally. That helps keep your results from fading.

Is Professional Teeth Whitening Safe, and Are There Side Effects I Should Know About?
Professional teeth whitening is safe when done under a dentist’s care. Some people may feel mild tooth sensitivity after treatment, which usually fades within a day or two.
How Often Should I Whiten My Teeth for Best Results?
Most patients start with an in-office treatment and follow up with at-home touch-ups every few months. Some individuals need fewer touch-ups, while others prefer to maintain a bright smile year-round.
If I Have Sensitive Teeth, Can I Still Do Professional Teeth Whitening?
Yes, the Kor whitening system has a desensitizer in the gel to prevent sensitivity. Some people do better with lower-strength gel and/or shorter treatment times. Others may need fluoride treatments before whitening. Some gentle options still get the job done without leaving your teeth tingling afterward.
