Teeth Whitening Q&A

What is teeth whitening?

KöR® teeth whitening available at OneSource Dental of South Tampa, is a safe, effective cosmetic dental treatment that makes your teeth many shades whiter after a single session. The treatment consists of whitening gel and trays that break apart and get rid of stains, brightening your smile and making it beautiful.

What are the benefits of KöR teeth whitening?

KöR teeth whitening offers numerous benefits for your teeth and smile. After just 15 minutes, at-home or in-office whitening treatments provide the vibrant smile you deserve. OneSource Dental of South Tampa uses the latest advances in technologies and procedures that are effective and safe, offering superior results for even the most hard-to-whiten teeth.

What are the common causes of teeth staining?

Some of the common causes of teeth staining include:

  • Coffee
  • Tea
  • Colas
  • Red wine
  • Popsicles
  • Tomato sauce
  • Soy sauce
  • Smoking
  • Some medications
  • Certain medical conditions
  • Poor oral hygiene 
  • Aging

Adopting superior at-home oral hygiene habits and not smoking can reduce staining, but you can't always avoid stains entirely.

Is teeth whitening right for me?

The OneSource Dental of South Tampa team determines which teeth-whitening treatments are best after discussing your desired results, reviewing your oral health history, and examining your teeth and gums. Anyone with stained teeth can benefit from teeth-whitening treatment, but you might first need additional dental procedures if you have tooth decay, damage, or gum disease.

What should I expect during teeth whitening?

The process of getting your teeth whitened is entirely painless. Simply wear tooth trays containing whitening gel over the top of your teeth for a certain period of time. OneSource Dental of South Tampa offers in-office and at-home whitening treatments. You might need multiple whitening treatment sessions to achieve your desired shade of white.

How can I keep my teeth as white as possible?

The best way to keep your teeth white is to brush them with whitening toothpaste after meals. Floss daily and use whitening mouthwash if your OneSource Dental of South Tampa provider suggests it. Attend six-month professional dental cleanings, with periodic teeth-whitening treatments as needed, at the OneSource Dental of South Tampa office.
