Illuminating Auburn, One Smile at a Time
Understanding Teeth Staining
Stained teeth can be the outcome of various culprits:
- Lifestyle Choices: Daily habits such as coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco consumption.
- Medications: Certain medicines and antibiotics.
- Aging: Over time, our enamel wears thin, exposing the yellower dentin beneath.
- Trauma: Injuries can cause teeth to discolor due to changes in enamel and dentin.
- Fluorosis: Excessive fluoride during teeth development.
Over-the-Counter vs. In-Office Whitening
You might've seen them - aisles of over-the-counter teeth-whitening products promising pearl-like results. But how do they measure up against professional, in-office treatments?
- Efficacy: OTC solutions generally possess a lower concentration of bleaching agents. In contrast, in-office treatments are stronger, producing faster, more noticeable results.
- Safety: Under the watchful eye of a dental professional, in-office treatments minimize risks, ensuring a safe application that protects your gums and mouth.
- Customization: Evergreen Dental tailors treatments to your unique dental profile, ensuring uniformity, addressing specific stains, and achieving optimal results.

One of the solutions we offer is KoR. KoR is renowned for its ability to tackle even the most stubborn stains. Here’s how it works:
- Custom Trays: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create tailored trays.
- At-home Pre-conditioning: For about two weeks, wear these trays with KoR's whitening gel while you sleep.
- In-office Session: Amplify results with a final in-office treatment.
- Maintenance: Periodic home maintenance ensures a perpetually luminous smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to lighten the color of the teeth, removing stains and discoloration, resulting in a brighter and more radiant smile.
Why do teeth get stained?
Teeth can become stained due to various reasons, including consumption of dark-colored foods and beverages (like coffee, tea, red wine), smoking, aging, medications, trauma, and excessive fluoride.
How is professional teeth whitening different from over-the-counter kits?
Professional whitening treatments are typically stronger, more effective, and safer than OTC kits. They offer personalized treatment plans, use high-grade materials, ensure even application, and minimize risks like gum irritation.
Are there any side effects to teeth whitening?
Some individuals may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation following a whitening session. It's essential to follow post-whitening care guidelines and inform your dentist if side effects persist.
How long does the whitening effect last?
The longevity of a whitening treatment varies based on individual habits and oral care. Typically, results can last from 6 months to 2 years. Regular touch-ups and good oral hygiene can extend the brilliance of your whitened teeth.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, when performed under the guidance of a dental professional, teeth whitening is a safe procedure. Ensure you choose a reputable clinic and follow all post-treatment recommendations.
Are there foods or drinks I should avoid after whitening?
After whitening, it's advisable to avoid dark-colored foods and beverages for a few days. This includes coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and dark sauces. Smoking should also be avoided.
Can anyone undergo teeth whitening?
While many can benefit from teeth whitening, it might not be suitable for everyone. Conditions like deep staining, dental restorations, or certain dental diseases may affect outcomes. A consultation with a dentist will determine if you're an ideal candidate.
How long does an in-office whitening session take?
Typically, in-office teeth whitening sessions last about 60-90 minutes. The exact duration depends on the chosen method and the desired level of brightness.
Can I whiten my teeth if I have fillings or crowns?
Dental restorations such as fillings and crowns do not respond to whitening agents in the same way natural teeth do. While natural teeth will lighten, the restorations will remain the same shade. Consult with your dentist for tailored advice and potential solutions.
How often can I whiten my teeth?
The frequency of whitening treatments depends on the method used, individual habits, and desired results. While touch-up sessions may be beneficial, it's essential to follow your dentist's recommendations to ensure the health and integrity of your teeth.
Do I need a dental cleaning before whitening?
It's advisable to have a dental cleaning before a whitening procedure. This ensures that the whitening agent can work effectively on the actual tooth surface without any barriers like plaque or tartar.
