McKinney’s First Choice for Gentle Smile Whitening
The Significance of a Bright, White Smile
A radiant, white smile is more than just an aesthetic asset; it's a key to unlocking confidence, enhancing social interactions, and making lasting first impressions. In today's world, where personal appearance can significantly impact one's personal and professional life, a bright smile is invaluable.
Understanding Tooth Discoloration
Over time, teeth can become stained or discolored due to various factors. Common culprits include:
- Food and Drink: Coffee, tea, red wine, and certain fruits and vegetables can stain teeth.
- Tobacco Use: Both smoking and chewing tobacco can lead to significant tooth discoloration.
- Age: As we age, the outer enamel layer of teeth gets thinner, revealing the natural yellow color of the dentin.
- Medications: Certain medications can contribute to tooth discoloration as a side effect.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is teeth whitening, and how does it work?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at removing surface stains and discoloration from your teeth, resulting in a brighter, whiter smile. It works through the application of whitening agents, like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which penetrate the enamel to break down and lift stains from the teeth.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, when performed under the supervision of a dental professional like Dr. Steven Nguyen, teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to enhance the appearance of your smile. We use proven techniques and materials to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the whitening process.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
The longevity of teeth whitening results can vary based on individual habits and oral hygiene. Generally, the effects can last from several months to a few years. To maintain your results, it's important to avoid stain-causing foods and beverages, use a straw when possible, and maintain good oral hygiene practices.
Can everyone benefit from teeth whitening?
Most people will see a noticeable improvement in the brightness of their smile after a teeth whitening treatment. However, it may not be suitable for everyone, such as individuals with dental restorations, severe enamel loss, or intrinsic stains. During your consultation, Dr. Nguyen will assess your suitability for whitening and discuss alternative options if necessary.
Will teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures following a teeth whitening procedure. This sensitivity is usually short-lived and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief or special toothpaste for sensitive teeth. We take measures to minimize sensitivity during and after your treatment.
What is the difference between at-home and in-office whitening?
At-home whitening kits, often provided by dental practices, offer a convenient way to whiten your teeth over a couple of weeks, using custom-fitted trays and a lower concentration of whitening agent. In-office whitening, like the KoR Whitening system offered at MDRN Dental Studio, provides immediate and dramatic results under the careful supervision of a dental professional, using a more potent whitening agent for optimal results.
How can I maintain my whitening results?
To extend the life of your teeth whitening results, avoid stain-causing foods and beverages, practice good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing daily, and consider touch-up treatments as recommended by Dr. Nguyen.
How much does teeth whitening cost?
The cost of teeth whitening can vary based on the type of treatment you choose and the extent of discoloration. At MDRN Dental Studio, we provide transparent pricing and financing options to make teeth whitening accessible to our patients.
