Teeth Whitening Las Vegas

A bright, white smile can boost your confidence, but factors like age, diet, and lifestyle habits can lead to tooth discoloration over time. Foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine, along with habits such as smoking, can cause teeth to become stained or yellowed. If you’re unhappy with your smile, Dr. James Polley offers professional teeth whitening treatments to help you achieve a radiant smile.

Professional Teeth Whitening Options

Dr. Polley offers two highly effective teeth whitening treatments: KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ and Zoom Whitening. These options deliver consistent, lasting results that outperform over-the-counter products, providing a noticeable improvement in just one visit.

KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™

Dr. Polley exclusively uses KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ for its impressive results and ability to treat tough stains, including those caused by tetracycline. KöR Whitening works by restoring the teeth’s ability to absorb oxygen, which helps break down and remove stains. This deep bleaching treatment delivers a natural-looking whiteness that can last with occasional touch-ups so you can maintain your bright smile for years to come.

Zoom Whitening

Zoom Whitening is a light-activated teeth whitening treatment that brightens teeth by lifting stains from the enamel’s surface. During your Zoom session, Dr. Polley applies a whitening gel to your teeth and then uses a special light to activate the gel. As the gel breaks down, oxygen penetrates the enamel to lift stains and leave your teeth several shades whiter. Zoom Whitening is a fast, effective option that’s gentle on your teeth, giving you a brilliant smile without the sensitivity often associated with other whitening methods.

Who’s a Good Candidate for Professional Teeth Whitening?

Professional teeth whitening is an excellent option for most patients with healthy teeth who want a brighter smile. However, certain factors can impact your candidacy, and Dr. Polley will evaluate your oral health to determine the best treatment option for you.

Ideal Candidates for Whitening

Most patients with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates for professional teeth whitening. Whitening treatments are effective for individuals with mild to moderate staining due to diet, age, or other lifestyle factors. If you practice good oral hygiene and want a whiter smile, whitening may be the right choice.

Conditions That May Limit Whitening

Patients with existing restorations like crowns, veneers, or fillings on visible teeth may experience uneven results, as the whitening solution does not affect these materials. Patients with tooth decay, gum disease, exposed roots, or certain types of internal discoloration may not be ideal candidates for traditional whitening treatments. Dr. Polley will assess your dental profile to ensure whitening will deliver the desired results, and he may suggest alternatives like veneers if traditional whitening isn’t suitable.

Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

Many patients have tried over-the-counter products with little success or unpleasant side effects like sensitivity. Dr. Polley’s professional teeth whitening treatments offer several advantages, providing a comfortable, effective, and long-lasting solution.

Advantages Over OTC Products

Professional whitening treatments use higher-grade ingredients tailored to your needs, providing consistent, even results. With Dr. Polley’s expert application and advanced technology, you’ll see a noticeable improvement in one visit—without the uneven results that can come from at-home treatments.

Comfort and Long-Lasting Results

Dr. Polley understands that sensitivity can be a concern with whitening. KöR and Zoom Whitening treatments are designed to minimize discomfort so you can enjoy a beautiful white smile without the pain. With proper maintenance and occasional touch-ups, you can expect your whitening results to last, even if you continue to enjoy staining foods and drinks.

Safe and Effective for Persistent Stains

KöR Whitening is one of the few treatments that can address deep stains, including those from tetracycline. If you’ve struggled with tough stains or have had little success with other whitening methods, KöR Whitening provides a safe and effective solution, helping you achieve a brighter smile you’ll love.

How White Can Your Teeth Get?

While professional whitening treatments like KöR and Zoom are highly effective at removing surface stains and achieving a natural, bright look, there are limits to how white they can make your teeth. KöR and Zoom work by removing stains in the enamel, but some discoloration lies beneath the enamel, which whitening treatments may not fully address. In these cases, Dr. Polley may recommend dental veneers as an alternative for patients seeking a consistently whiter smile that doesn’t fade over time.

Veneers provide a long-lasting, customizable option for patients who want a brighter smile and are concerned with maintaining even coloration across all teeth. During your consultation, Dr. Polley will discuss your whitening goals and help you choose the best option to achieve the level of brightness you’re looking for.
