A bright smile has a way of making you feel more confident—whether you’re heading into a big meeting, a first date, or simply catching up with friends. But coffee, tea, red wine, and even natural aging can dim that brightness over time. It’s no surprise, then, that teeth whitening has become one of the most requested cosmetic treatments. At River Stone Dental Center in Germantown, Dr. Peajmun Razmjou offers professional whitening, including KöR Whitening, for patients who want a smile that feels as fresh and vibrant as they do.
Professional vs. Over-the-Counter Whitening
It’s easy to find whitening strips, gels, and kits at the store, but they often fall short of expectations. Many of these products only lighten surface stains and don’t reach deeper discoloration. Professional whitening uses stronger, dentist-supervised formulas and custom trays that deliver even, lasting results. Plus, your dentist can tailor the treatment to your specific needs and tooth sensitivity.
What Makes KöR Whitening Different
KöR teeth whitening is known for addressing even tough stains that other systems can’t, including discoloration caused by tetracycline. The treatment uses a combination of in-office and at-home whitening with specially designed trays that seal tightly around your teeth. This keeps saliva from diluting the whitening gel, allowing it to stay active longer and penetrate deeper. Patients often notice brighter results with less sensitivity compared to other whitening systems.
What to Expect Before Treatment
Before whitening, it’s important to schedule a dental exam and cleaning. Whitening works best on healthy teeth and gums, and removing plaque or tartar helps the whitening gel work more effectively. Dr. Razmjou will also check for cavities, worn enamel, or exposed roots, since these can increase sensitivity during treatment.
Caring for Your Smile After Whitening
To maintain your results, avoid or limit foods and drinks that stain easily, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and dark sauces. This is especially important in the first day or two after whitening, when your teeth are more prone to absorbing stains. Sticking to a “white diet” of lighter foods—like chicken, rice, potatoes, and milk—during this time helps lock in your brighter results. Brushing and flossing daily, along with regular dental cleanings, will also keep your smile looking fresh. Touch-up treatments may be recommended depending on your whitening system and lifestyle habits.
