Any Age Can Do Teeth Whitening

No matter what your age, teeth whitening can help restore your smile and turn discolored teeth into sparkling white pearls.

While younger teeth are best for whitening treatments, we can treat patients of any age up to 90 years old.

So don’t let your age stop you from coming in to get your teeth whitened. At Savanna Dental Solutions in Savannah, GA, our dentists are here to help.

Why Teeth Become Discolored Over Time

Tooth discoloration happens for many reasons, and it is a completely normal part of life. Common causes include coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco use, certain medications, and natural aging. Over time, enamel becomes thinner, allowing darker dentin underneath to show through and dull the appearance of your smile.

Professional teeth whitening addresses both surface stains and deeper discoloration that cannot be removed with brushing alone. At Savannah Dental Solutions, we evaluate the cause of your discoloration and recommend a whitening approach that delivers safe, noticeable, and long-lasting results.

What to Expect During Professional Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening begins with a consultation to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for treatment. We take impressions of your teeth to create custom whitening trays that fit comfortably and evenly distribute the whitening gel.

You will complete most of the whitening process at home over a two-week period, wearing the trays overnight while you sleep. Throughout treatment, our dental team monitors your progress and makes adjustments if needed to help you achieve your desired level of brightness with minimal sensitivity.

This personalized approach allows for predictable results that over-the-counter whitening products simply cannot match.

Teeth Whitening FAQs

As the name suggests, tooth whitening is the process of improving your smile by giving you whiter, brighter teeth. Although there are a variety of ways to whiten teeth, we especially like the deep bleaching system from KöR. This system consists of a series of custom-made, gel-filled trays that you wear overnight for up to two weeks.

We will monitor your progress regularly to ensure that you get just the results that you want. We have successfully whitened patient’s teeth by up to 16 shades! The results are designed to be permanent, although if you enjoy red wine, coffee, and other staining foods or beverages, we recommend occasional home maintenance treatments for the very best results.

Note that fillings, crowns, and veneers do not whiten. If you have any of these restorations on the front surfaces of your teeth, you will need to have them replaced to match your new, brighter smile.

So, how do teeth whitening treatments work? With the Kör Whitening Deep Bleach System, the process begins with molds made of your teeth.

Our dentists will then use the molds to make whitening trays that fit snugly and comfortably, and you wear them for two weeks at home.

Alongside the whitening trays, we will use whitening gel to restore the teeth’ ability to absorb oxygen and completely remove stains.

The best part is that you do all this while you sleep, so you can whiten your teeth while getting in your beauty sleep.

During that time, we will do periodic check-ins to ensure everything is proceeding properly and the whitening process is working.

Deep bleaching teeth whitening treatments have many benefits compared to other teeth whitening treatments.

  • Permanent Results
  • Little to no sensitivity
  • Works on tetracycline-stained and dark teeth
  • Don’t have to give up red wine, coffee, or tea
  • Gum and teeth safe
  • Comfortable and easy process

While some patients have cold and hot sensitivity after teeth whitening, with Kör, it is less than other teeth whitening systems.

White teeth are considered a sign of good health and attractiveness, and professional tooth whitening can help you achieve a gorgeous smile. At Savannah Dental Solutions, we prefer the KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching System.

This is a permanent whitening solution that takes just two weeks of home treatments. We will make molds of your teeth and use them to create extremely comfortable trays that you will wear to bed every night of the treatment process.

Besides regular dental cleanings, all you will need to maintain your beautiful, white smile is an occasional touch-up.

Because this system provides permanent results, we believe that it is well worth the investment. You will not need to avoid red wine, coffee, tea, or other staining beverages or foods. You can continue to live your normal life without fear of darkening your teeth.

While over the counter teeth whitening methods typically last only a month or two, professional teeth whitening is designed for long-lasting results.

With scrupulous oral hygiene, professional whitening should last at least a year, and often two years or more.

You can lengthen the time between whitening appointments by rinsing your mouth with plain water after consuming tooth staining items such as dark berries or red wine, and by using an over the counter whitening toothpaste.
