Teeth Whitening
Do you have good oral health but find that your teeth have dulled over time?
Professional teeth whitening at Dumas Family Dental can correct surface stains that keep your smile from looking its best.
Our Dumas, TX, team offers KöR whitening, an advanced system that offers several benefits compared to other in-office whitening treatments.
Over-the-counter whitening toothpaste, strips, and other products may be accessible, but they aren’t as reliable as professional teeth whitening. At our Dumas dental office, our dentists help patients experience benefits that generic whitening toothpaste and gels can’t offer.
Reduced Sensitivity
Rather than testing your luck with over-the-counter products, trust a dentist’s recommendation. The teeth whitening system we use is designed to minimize teeth sensitivity and harm to the gums and lips.
Predictable Results
Whitening strips, gels, and other products can be hit or miss. Sometimes they work, but only after several whitening sessions. Our doctors can prescribe whitening products that deliver stunning results–every time.
Worthwhile Investment
The price of professional teeth whitening may seem high, but it’s a great investment that ensures you see results. This is unlike the trial-and-error of testing out various over-the-counter products, which can add up over time.
Customized
Our dentists can assess the shade of your smile and determine how much whitening product is needed for your unique case. You won’t find this personalization on the back of a whitening strip box.

We Offer KöR Whitening Products
In-Office Whitening
We offer in-office whitening for patients who want an extra whitening boost. The KöR Max solution begins with two weeks of at-home whitening, followed by one in-office whitening visit.
At-Home Whitening
KöR whitening products are ideal for at-home whitening. The KöR Home Whitening System is available for nighttime or daytime wear through the KöR-Night™ or KöR-Day™ products.
No LED Lights Needed
Much of the discomfort and other concerns that result from teeth whitening are caused by harmful LED lamps and lasers used to activate the whitening gel. No LED lights are used for our at-home or in-office treatments, but you’ll still get the same or better whitening results.
Ingredients Found in KöR Whitening Products
Each KöR whitening product has a different chemical makeup. The type you choose will depend on the time you have to wear the product and how dramatically you want to whiten your teeth.
Did You Know? Teeth Whitening Cleans Your Teeth
General dentistry check-ups are necessary for maintaining your overall health, but teeth whitening also rids the teeth of plaque and tartar.
The KöR Refrigeration Process For Reduced Tooth Sensitivity
All whitening products can potentially cause a bit of sensitivity because of the powerful ingredients they’re made with, but KöR uses a special refrigeration process to protect sensitive teeth.
All our whitening products come with a desensitizing gel that helps minimize sensitive teeth after treatment.
Perfect Your Teeth After Orthodontics
You’ve put in the time to straighten your teeth with braces or Invisalign, but you’ve noticed your teeth are less bright than they used to be. If your smile has dulled from orthodontic treatment or you’re seeing spots where your brackets used to be, teeth whitening can polish off remaining surface stains for whiter teeth.
Understanding Types of Staining
Teeth whitening is a great way to dip your toe into cosmetic dentistry. However, there may be better whitening solutions for your needs, depending on your stains.
Extrinsic Stains
Extrinsic stains, also known as surface stains, can be treated with our KöR whitening products because they originate on the surface of your teeth. These stains are usually caused by drinking dark beverages, eating darkly colored foods, and smoking or chewing tobacco.
Intrinsic Stains
Intrinsic stains originate from within the tooth and can be caused by oral injury or certain medications. Although KöR products can address these stains more than other professional whitening systems, veneers may still be a better solution to treat intrinsic stains.
Dental Veneers Cover Up Intrinsic Stains
Veneers are thin porcelain shells placed on top of your natural teeth to cover any discoloration, cracks, or dental concerns you may have. Dental veneers are an ideal treatment if you have intrinsic stains that teeth whitening products cannot treat. Veneers are also stain-resistant, so you can have bright, white teeth for years to come.
