Professional Teeth Whitening in Sunnyside
Understanding the different options for achieving a brighter smile
Professional-Grade Whitening
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens teeth and helps to remove stains and discoloration. Professional teeth whitening is performed by a dental professional and uses stronger whitening agents than those available over the counter, resulting in more dramatic and longer-lasting results.
At Sunnyside Dental, we offer multiple teeth whitening options to suit your needs, preferences, and budget. Our professional whitening treatments can address discoloration caused by aging, consumption of staining foods and beverages (like coffee, tea, and red wine), tobacco use, and certain medications.
Our Whitening Options
We offer both in-office treatments and take-home kits, including KöR Whitening, one of the most effective whitening systems available. Our whitening services can dramatically brighten your smile by several shades in just one visit, with results that can last for years with proper maintenance.

The Teeth Whitening Process at Sunnyside Dental
What to expect during your professional teeth whitening treatment
Consultation
We begin with a thorough examination to determine if teeth whitening is appropriate for you and which treatment option would work best for your specific needs. Dr. Yapport will assess the cause and extent of your tooth discoloration, discuss your whitening goals, and explain the expected results based on your unique situation.
Preparation
We clean your teeth and apply protective measures to your gums and oral tissues to ensure your comfort and safety during the whitening procedure. For in-office treatments, we'll place a cheek retractor and apply a protective barrier to your gums before the whitening gel is applied to your teeth.
Treatment
Depending on the chosen method, we apply professional-grade whitening gel to your teeth and may activate it with a special light for in-office treatments. For take-home options, we'll create custom-fitted trays and provide detailed instructions on how to use the whitening system at home for optimal results.
Results & Aftercare
After the procedure, we provide instructions on aftercare and maintenance to ensure long-lasting results. We may also provide take-home products for touch-ups. You'll receive guidance on which foods and beverages to avoid temporarily and how to maintain your newly whitened smile for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening
Find answers to common questions about our teeth whitening procedures in Sunnyside
Results typically last 1-3 years, depending on your oral hygiene, dietary habits, and lifestyle choices. Consuming staining foods and beverages (coffee, tea, red wine), smoking, and poor oral hygiene can shorten the duration of your results. Regular touch-ups and good oral care will help maintain your bright smile longer.
Yes, professional teeth whitening performed by a dental professional is safe. We take precautions to protect your gums and oral tissues during treatment. Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation, but these side effects are typically mild and resolve quickly. We'll discuss any potential risks during your consultation and determine if you're a good candidate for whitening.
KöR Whitening is a comprehensive system that combines in-office treatments with at-home maintenance. It uses continuously refrigerated, high-potency gels and specialized trays that seal out saliva and sulcular fluid, which typically break down whitening gel. This approach allows the whitening agents to remain active for longer periods, resulting in superior results. KöR is particularly effective for difficult stains, including tetracycline discoloration, which many other whitening methods cannot address effectively.
No, teeth whitening treatments only work on natural tooth enamel and will not change the color of dental restorations such as crowns, veneers, bridges, or fillings. If you have visible restorations, we may recommend other cosmetic options to ensure a consistent appearance after whitening your natural teeth.
To maintain your whitening results, we recommend: practicing excellent oral hygiene, limiting consumption of staining foods and beverages, using a straw when drinking beverages that may stain, rinsing with water after consuming staining substances, not smoking, scheduling regular dental cleanings, and using touch-up treatments as recommended. We'll provide personalized maintenance instructions based on your specific treatment plan.
