Discuss discoloration and a brighter smile with a supervised whitening plan that starts with the health of your teeth and gums.
Tooth color can change over time because of foods, drinks, aging, and other factors. At Bruno Integrative Dentistry, Dr. Candace Bruno first evaluates the discoloration and your dental health to determine whether whitening is an appropriate option. Some stains respond differently from others, so the starting shade and the cause matter.
Whitening can lighten natural teeth. It does not predictably change the color of crowns, veneers, or composite fillings. If you have visible restorations, the plan should consider their shade as well as the surrounding teeth. A single dark tooth also needs assessment rather than an assumption that bleaching is the right first step.
We offer the KöR whitening system, with custom trays and a combination of home and in-office care as appropriate. The exact schedule depends on the selected protocol and your response. Your consultation is the time to review instructions, expected changes, and whether any restorative work should be planned around whitening.
Some patients develop temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation. Tell us about existing sensitivity, exposed roots, untreated decay, or a history of reactions before treatment. We can discuss suitability and adjustments rather than promising a sensitivity-free experience.
Whitening may be a conservative starting point for a color concern. A change in shape, a chipped edge, a damaged restoration, or a missing tooth may call for a different approach. Our cosmetic dentistry page explains how Dr. Bruno plans those decisions.
For teeth that need repair, visit restorative dentistry. If clenching, wear, or sleep concerns are part of the picture, tell us during the consultation so they can be evaluated separately through our airway-focused care.
Your estimate depends on the whitening protocol and any care needed first. We review costs before treatment; we do not publish an invented package price.
That varies with the original discoloration, diet, oral hygiene, and maintenance. Your dentist can discuss whether occasional supervised touch-ups are appropriate.
No. Response varies by stain type and tooth condition. Dr. Bruno explains realistic expectations and alternatives after examining your teeth.
