What Is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is one of the most requested cosmetic dental treatments for a reason. It’s fast, effective, and non-invasive. Over time, factors like coffee, red wine, smoking, and even the natural aging process can leave teeth looking dull or discolored. Whitening works by breaking down the molecules that cause staining, restoring the natural luster of your enamel. While over-the-counter products offer temporary improvements, professional-grade whitening—such as the KöR Whitening system used by Dr. Rink—delivers dramatic, long-lasting results in a fraction of the time.

Teeth Whitening Options for Summerville Patients

Dr. Rink offers several treatment options to suit your lifestyle, aesthetic goals, and desired timeline:

KöR In-Office Whitening

For fast, dramatic results, this professional-grade system activates a whitening gel under special lighting. In just 90 minutes, patients leave with visibly whiter teeth and renewed confidence.

KöR Take-Home Whitening

Custom trays filled with whitening gel are worn for a few hours daily over two weeks. This option is ideal for those seeking gradual improvements or long-term maintenance after in-office treatment.

Opalescence Go Whitening

A convenient, pre-filled tray system that allows for easy use on the go. This option offers universal-fit trays that provide a simple yet effective way to whiten at your convenience.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is suitable for many adults looking to improve the color of their smile, but ideal candidates should meet certain criteria:

  • Healthy teeth and gums: Candidates should be free of cavities and gum disease.
  • No restorative work on front teeth: Veneers, crowns, and fillings do not respond to whitening, though they can be color-matched post-treatment.
  • Willingness to reduce staining habits: Limiting tobacco and dark beverages helps prolong results.

If you’re unsure whether whitening is right for you, Dr. Rink will review your oral health and discuss alternatives if needed.

Your Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Rink will assess the health of your teeth and gums, understand your goals, and evaluate the degree of discoloration. Based on your unique needs, he’ll recommend an in-office or take-home treatment plan and walk you through the expected results. You’ll also receive guidance on how to maintain your results, including advice on diet, lifestyle habits, and oral hygiene best practices.

What to Expect During Your Teeth Whitening Treatment

In-Office Whitening

A protective guard shields your gums and soft tissues before the whitening gel is applied and activated with a special light. After a few cycles, you’ll leave with a dramatically brighter smile.

Take-Home Whitening

Custom trays are fabricated to ensure even coverage. You'll wear the trays daily for several hours over two weeks, revealing gradual improvements with each session.

What Is the Cost of Teeth Whitening?

The cost of teeth whitening varies depending on the option selected. In-office treatments tend to be more expensive due to their immediacy and intensity, while take-home trays offer a more gradual and cost-effective solution. During your consultation, Dr. Rink will provide a personalized estimate and discuss flexible payment options designed to accommodate your needs.
