Remove Years of Dental Stains Professional Teeth Whitening Can Transform Your Smile
Even patients with excellent oral hygiene who use over-the-counter products to whiten teeth such as brushing with tooth whitening toothpaste and hydrogen peroxide-based whitening strips can develop stains that require professional treatment. At Matthew A. Turner D.D.S., P.C., we use professional, in-office bleaching processes to address stubborn tooth discoloration. Professional whitening at our advanced Kansas City-area dental practice includes:
Whiter, Brighter Teeth
Stains and tooth discoloration can result from the aging process, smoking, and drinks such as coffee, tea, and red wine. With professional teeth whitening, our dentist can brighten teeth up to eight shades in a single appointment, allowing you to walk out of our office with a dazzling, luminescent smile.
Fast Results
Compared to over-the-counter products like whitening toothpaste or peroxide whitening strips, which can take weeks of regular use before showing any noticeable whitening progress, professional teeth whitening provides immediate results. In about an hour, even stubborn stains can be removed, rejuvenating your appearance.
Improved Self-Esteem
It only takes a single discolored tooth in an otherwise healthy smile to bring about feelings of self-consciousness. With the help of our caring dentist, professional tooth whitening can not only improve the appearance of your teeth, but give you a smile you can feel confident in sharing with the world.

It takes up to two hours to complete in-office teeth whitening treatment.
Consultation and Planning
Before proceeding, Dr. Turner will review your current state of oral health and identify any existing dental work such as crowns that won't respond to whitening. During your consultation, Dr. Turner will answer any questions you have about whitening treatment.
Dental Cleaning
To ensure you experience the best results,a regular dental cleaning is recommended before beginning the whitening process.
Preparation
The process begins by placing a plastic guard or applying a gel to your lips and gums that acts as a barrier against the powerful hydrogen peroxide whitening solution. This helps protect the soft tissue in your mouth and minimizes sensitivity during treatment.
Whitening Sessions
Following preparation, the hydrogen peroxide whitening gel is applied to your teeth.The whitening gel remains in place for 15-20 minutes and removed. This process is repeated up to 4 times to achieve your desired brightness and your treatment is completed.
Final Results
Following your treatment, you will immediately see the results of a smile that is up to eight shades whiter than when you arrived at our dental practice. You may experience sensitivity in the days following treatment, but this side effect generally disappears within a couple of days. The use of anti-sensitivity toothpaste when brushing your teeth can help lessen this sensitivity.

Benefits of Custom Teeth Whitening By a Professional In-office or Take-home
Teeth whitening products you'll find at the store often come with trays that apply the whitening agent to the teeth. However, these trays aren't designed to fit your unique smile, which can cause a host of issues. Our trays are customized to fit your smile, which can provide valuable benefits:
Even Whitening
Since the custom tray is molded to fit precisely on your teeth, the whitening gel can spread evenly across your smile for consistent and natural-looking results.
Gum Protection
Irritation can result from the whitening solution touching your gums and lips. A custom tray fits closely on your teeth, keeping the gel from seeping out and onto your gums.
Comfortable Fit
Overall, the fit of a custom mouth tray is more comfortable to wear than a generic mouth tray you'll find in over-the-counter products.
Managing Tooth SensitivityAfter Whitening Treatment
Tooth sensitivity is a potential side effect of teeth whitening and is most often a result of the bleaching solution used. Typically, tooth sensitivity after whitening is temporary and resolves within days of treatment. Still, there are steps you can take to alleviate the discomfort of sensitive teeth in the meantime, including:
- Use sensitive formula toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Rinse with a fluoride-based mouthwash
- Avoid acidic, sweet, or sour foods
- Stick to room-temperature foods and beverages
If you have sensitive teeth or want to learn more about any sensitivity you might experience after teeth whitening, Dr. Turner is happy to consult you on what you can expect.
Aftercare Tips To Keep Your Teeth Sparkling
In addition to following the tips above to minimize discomfort and sensitivity, follow these tips to keep your smile looking dazzling:
Watch What You Eat and Drink
You've spent time and money to whiten your teeth, so don't backslide by staining the enamel all over again. Limit dark-pigmented foods and drinks, brush and floss regularly, and don't hesitate to rinse your mouth with a drink or two of water after enjoying a glass of wine.
Don't Use Tobacco
Smoking or using tobacco in other formsis a leading cause of yellow, discolored teeth. A nicotine patch can help you curb the habit. It's best to quit using these products entirely to maintain both your health and the results of teeth whitening.
Avoid Colored Dental Products
Be aware that some dental products you use could stain your teeth. For instance, charcoal toothpaste is known to naturally detox the mouth, but using these dark products immediately after your procedure can result in stained teeth.

Over-the-Counter Whitening Products vs. Professional Teeth Whitening
If you’re looking for a brighter smile, you may initially turn to whitening products you can get from your local drugstore. However, whitening strips, whitening toothpastes, and other products marketed to overhaul your smile pale in comparison to professional treatment in various ways:
Time
The amount of time it takes to whiten your teeth with over-the-counter products is substantial compared to our professional whitening treatments. You may spend just a few hours with us but leave with teeth that are eight shades whiter. At home, you could spend months using less-powerful products and see teeth that are only a few shades whiter.
Cost
The primary benefit of professional teeth whitening is that you can see results much faster than the multiple kits that may be required to achieve and maintain the same level of whitening with commercial at-home solutions. You could easily spend more in the long run by trying to find a silver-bullet OTC product.
Lasting Results
When it comes to teeth whitening, you want your results to withstand the test of time. Due to the concentration of the whitening solution used, in-office teeth whitening products penetrate deeper below the surface of the tooth than drugstore products. This means your teeth will stay whiter — for longer!
Other Solutions For Stained Teeth Are Veneers Right for You?
Teeth whitening can eliminate surface stains, otherwise known as extrinsic stains. These are stains you get from smoking, drinking and eating dark drinks and food, and other factors you can control. Intrinsic stains discolor your tooth on the inside, making them resilient to teeth whitening treatment. Intrinsic stains can result from an injury, be a symptom of certain medications, or even be a part of your genetics.
Veneers can help conceal these intrinsic stains that can't be properly concealed with teeth whitening treatments. Veneers can also help correct minor misalignment and crowding in your smile much faster than orthodontic treatment.
