Professional teeth whitening can help lift stains and brighten your smile in a safe, controlled way. Whether your teeth look dull from coffee, tea, wine, aging, or everyday habits, whitening can be a simple way to refresh your appearance.
At My Plantation Dentist, we’re proud to use the KoR Teeth Whitening System. Dr. Heidi Finkelstein helps patients choose from the different whitening options offered by KoR and designed around their smile goals, tooth sensitivity, and desired results.
Teeth whitening may be a good option for patients who want a brighter, fresher-looking smile without making major changes to their teeth. It is often used before special events or as part of a larger cosmetic treatment plan.
Because every smile responds differently to whitening, Dr. Heidi will help determine whether professional whitening is the right option for your teeth and goals.

Professional Whitening vs. At-Home Whitening Kits
Professional whitening and over-the-counter whitening products can both brighten teeth, but they are not the same. Store-bought options may offer mild improvement, while professional whitening is designed to deliver more noticeable and controlled results.
We offer three levels of KoR Whitening Systems, depending on your teeth’s color and your desired outcome: KoR Home, KoR Max, and KoR Ultra; and vary from home-only use to combined home/in-office treatments.
Dr. Heidi can help you decide whether in-office or take-home whitening makes the most sense based on your sensitivity, timeline, and desired brightness.

Common Teeth Whitening Questions
Everything you need to know about Teeth Whitening, from how it works to what you can expect.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes. Professional teeth whitening is considered safe when recommended and monitored by a dental professional. Dr. Heidi will evaluate your teeth and gums before treatment to make sure whitening is appropriate for you.
How long do whitening results last?
Whitening results vary based on your habits, oral hygiene, and diet. Avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks, along with regular cleanings, can help maintain your brighter smile longer.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity after whitening. Dr. Heidi can discuss options to help reduce sensitivity and make the process more comfortable.
Can whitening remove all stains?
Whitening works best on certain types of surface stains. Some discoloration, such as stains from trauma, medication, or old dental work, may need a different cosmetic option.
Is teeth whitening right for me?
Whitening may be a good fit if your teeth are healthy and you want a brighter smile. Dr. Heidi will review your goals and recommend the best option based on your smile.
