Teeth Whitening in Salem, OR

Teeth Whitening is one of the simplest ways to make a huge difference to your appearance. Whitening your teeth shows a cleaner, brighter smile, and a bight smile can light up the world. If you see yellowed, stained teeth in your mirror, consider asking Dr. King about both in-office and at-home teeth whitening. This simple, non-invasive dental treatment will enhance your beauty by changing the color of your tooth enamel. Ask us at King Dental how simple this process is.

I brush regularly, why did my teeth turn yellow?

Our teeth work very hard for us. They get stained through normal daily use. Brushing may not be able to remove those stains. Some daily habits may increase the problems with staining.

Things like:

•  Coffee
•  Tea
•  Smoking
•  dark sodas

All contain ingredients that cause staining to your enamel.

Do those over the counter teeth whitening products work?

You may have found yourself holding store teeth whitening products, wondering if they are worth the money. The answer is “kinda.” In order to be sold over the counter, they do not contain the levels of peroxide that we can administer under the care of our dentist, Dr. King.

•  Over the counter products generally contain 3% peroxide.
•  King Dental prescribed At-home whitening kits contains from 3% to 20% peroxide, based on your need.
•  King Dental In-office whitening contains 15% to 43% peroxide, based on your need.

In addition to whitening your teeth, Dr. King is able to discuss other ways to brighten your teeth including changing old composite fillings or through dental bonding or veneers. Seeking the opinion of our team is always your best option, it’s our job to be able to answer these questions for you.

After you teeth have been whitened, some patients have discussed temporary sensitivity. Some patients have even reported burns from home kits, please follow the instructions given and follow with care.

We are happy to answer any questions you have concerning teeth whitening and brightening your smile.
