Professional teeth whitening in Saratoga, CA at Genuine Care Dental means KÖR, a system available through dentists. It uses professional-strength whitening gel and trays made to fit your teeth, to lift stains and give you a brighter smile. Your dentist checks your teeth and gums first, so whitening is done safely and suits you.
Your custom trays are made from a scan or impressions of your teeth. Because they fit closely, the gel stays where it belongs, and the whitening is more even than with a one-size-fits-all strip or tray from a store. Most people find custom trays comfortable to wear.
Professional teeth whitening at the dentist offers a few clear advantages:
Coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and simply getting older can all dull your teeth. Whitening lifts many of those stains. It does not change crowns, veneers, or fillings, so we will tell you honestly what to expect.
We begin with an exam and usually a dental cleaning, which removes surface stains so whitening works evenly. Then we make your custom trays and show you how to use the gel. Some people feel temporary sensitivity, so tell us if your teeth are sensitive and we will adjust the plan.
Results vary with your diet and habits. Limit staining foods and drinks, rinse with water after coffee or tea, and keep brushing, flossing, and coming to your cleanings. Touch-ups can refresh your brighter smile whenever you want. If you are pregnant or nursing, talk to us before whitening.
Every smile starts from a different place, so we talk about what you would like before we begin. We show you what is realistic for your teeth and discuss options if you have older dental work that whitening will not change. You will understand the plan, the gel, and the schedule before you take a single tray home.
Whitening works well on a healthy mouth. That is why we treat cavities and gum concerns first, then whiten. If you also want to change the shape or shade of specific teeth, we can talk about other cosmetic options at your visit. Whitening is one step, and we will help you decide what comes next, if anything
A brighter smile should come with a relaxed visit, so we made our office a place you want to be. We didn't want it to feel like a dental office, so we didn't build one. Warm wood, real plants, a couch you'd actually choose to sit on, and chairs picked for comfort as much as function, all so you forget where you actually are.
Dr. Rong and Mia lead the practice with an expert team that listens first. Try an anxiety blanket and calming aroma, a neck pillow, lip balm, and dark sunglasses. Pick a show on the screens, charge your phone at no charge, and enjoy a coffee before or after your appointment.
“Too often I see patients go into an office and they're just seen as a set of teeth with no person behind them. I want to know not only what our patients need, but also what they want, in terms of their health, their looks, and how they feel.”
– Dr. Rong, owner
“I absolutely would recommend Genuine Care, and I have already done so many times.”
