Teeth Whitening

Berks County, Reading and Wyomissing, Pennsylvania

There are probably just as many reasons for wanting to undergo some form of teeth whitening as there are ways to accomplish it. The methods available to you change and improve as dental technology continues to advance. At Dr. Schwartz's Wyomissing, Pennsylvania dental practice he strives to offer treatments that above all, will provide you with optimal results while protecting your teeth from harm.

Causes of Teeth Staining
There are several factors that may contribute to stained teeth including:

Age
Inherited color, thickness and translucency
Eating habits
Smoking habits
Grinding and clenching
Drugs and chemicals

KÖR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ System
The KÖR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ System helps to bring back the vibrant array of colors that play against the light and draw attention to your beautiful smile. KÖR is a strong whitening solution approved only for use in dentists' offices as well as take home kits. Dr. Kurthy has pioneered teeth whitening research and has developed a system that gets results where other systems fall short.

Take-Home Kits
There are advantages to take-home whitening kits that your dentist can give you as well. You can enjoy long-term results because it will be convenient for you to give your teeth a periodic touch-up when you feel it is necessary. Also, if your teeth are severely stained, Dr. Schwartz may recommend that you treat them with the whitening process over a few months instead of a few days.

Other advantages of take-home teeth whitening kits include lower cost and portability of the product. Your investment is manageable and you can take your whitening supplies with you if you need to.

Teeth Whitening Risks
Teeth whitening treatments are very safe when they are recommended and monitored by a qualified dentist. There are some minor risks involved however, including teeth sensitivity and gum irritation. If you experience either of these problems, be sure to contact Dr. Schwartz immediately.

Another problem with teeth whitening procedures is that they have no effect on dental restorations. If you need dental work done, you may wish to whiten your teeth first. Then have your bonding, crowning or filling material colored to match the new color of your teeth.

Once you have obtained that smile you want to show the world, it is important to continue practicing good oral hygiene which includes brushing after eating, drinking or using any type of staining agents.
