Frequently asked questions about professional teeth bleaching at the dentist
At North Aurora Smiles, our doctors believe in providing the best possible care for new and current patients in the office. In addition to helping schedule routine evaluations and dental cleanings, they also offer a selection of cosmetic treatments to add brilliance and beauty to their patients’ smiles, including professional teeth bleaching. Our dentists serve those in and around North Aurora, Illinois, and are excited to offer whitening solutions for all!
What type of professional whitening services are available at North Aurora Smiles?
Our office is pleased to offer three different whitening options. The first and most economical option is professional strength whitening strips. These are similar to OTC strips but 2.5X stronger and thus give a better result than OTC options. The second option we offer is custom-fitted trays with the same effective whitening gel. This provides a better and more predictable result because the custom-fit trays place the whitening agent on the exact area of the tooth to be whitened. Lastly, the best, most predictable, and longest-lasting option is the KoR whitening system. This includes our take-home trays with a whitening agent and a powerful in-office treatment. The in-office treatment involves a one-hour session where our dentist applies a powerful whitening gel to your teeth and utilizes a specialized activating agent. This results in Hollywood-level teeth whitening!
How long does teeth whitening last?
Many patients considering professional whitening have questions about the longevity of their treatment. While results will vary from person to person, with proper care and continued maintenance, the results of our professional teeth whitening treatments can last up to a year or more. This includes practicing good oral hygiene habits, including brushing and flossing regularly, avoiding staining foods and drinks, and following up with touch-up treatments as recommended by our dentists.
Are there any potential side effects of the professional teeth whitening system?
The most common side effect of teeth whitening is temporary tooth sensitivity. Our team takes precautions to minimize this discomfort by using protective measures on your gums during the treatment. In rare cases, some patients might notice mild gum or throat irritation from the bleaching agent. However, these symptoms typically subside within a few days after treatment.

Why should I choose professional whitening over over-the-counter alternatives?
While over-the-counter whitening options may seem more convenient and cost-effective, they often do not provide the same level of effectiveness as professional whitening. Our dentists use high-quality products and have the expertise to ensure safe and effective results. Additionally, our in-office treatment allows for a quicker and more noticeable difference in tooth brightness compared to at-home options. Our professional whitening can also be tailored to each patient’s specific needs and desired level of whiteness, whereas over-the-counter products are generic and may not address individual concerns or achieve desired results. With professional teeth whitening at our office, you can trust that your natural smile is transformed with care and precision by our experienced team!
