FAQ About Teeth Whitening
- What is the best whitener for your teeth? Professional-grade whitening like KoR gels (6%-16% carbamide peroxide) with sealed trays outperforms OTC strips, offering deeper, longer-lasting results. Custom trays prevent sensitivity and ensure even coverage, while OTC options may weaken enamel with inconsistent application.
- Is it good to do teeth whitening? Yes, when supervised by a dentist to minimize risks like gum irritation or enamel damage. DIY kits with high acidity can erode enamel, while professional treatments balance safety with effective stain removal for a brighter smile.
- How much does it cost to get white teeth? Locally, custom trays + follow-ups range $550-$750, while national averages span $300-$1,000. OTC kits cost $20-$100 but lack durability. Professional treatments offer better value long-term, with results lasting years versus weeks for strips.
- Is it worth it to get your teeth professionally whitened? Yes—professional whitening lasts 1-3+ years, uses gentler formulas (reducing sensitivity), and tailors shades to your goals. DIY kits risk uneven results or damage, while dentists optimize safety and efficacy for your enamel type.
- How do celebrities get their teeth so white? Most use custom tray systems (like KöR) for gradual, natural-looking whitening, paired with occasional veneers for uniformity. Red-carpet prep often includes in-office boosts, but maintenance relies on at-home trays and stain-free habits.
- Why are my teeth so yellow even though I brush them? Yellowing often stems from intrinsic stains (dentin pigment), thinning enamel (revealing yellower layers), or diet (coffee/wine). Whitening targets dentin, unlike brushing, which only removes surface plaque. Genetics and aging also play key roles.
