Brighten Your Smile Without the Pain

If you’ve ever wanted a whiter smile but hesitated because of tooth sensitivity, you’re not alone. Many Lakeview residents come to our office wanting brighter teeth but worry about discomfort. At Dr. Brittany Dickinson’s cosmetic dentistry practice in Lakeview, we specialize in gentle teeth whitening options designed for sensitive teeth — including the advanced KoR Whitening System — so you can enjoy a radiant smile without sacrificing comfort.

Why Sensitivity Happens With Whitening

Tooth sensitivity after whitening is common, especially if:

  • The enamel is thin or worn.

  • You’ve had recent dental work.

  • Whitening gels are left on too long.

  • Over-the-counter products are too strong for your enamel.

At our Lakeview dental office, we use professional-grade whitening systems tailored to each patient’s enamel health. That means less irritation and longer-lasting results compared to drugstore kits.

Teeth Whitening Options for Sensitive Teeth in Lakeview

We offer a range of whitening treatments designed to be both effective and comfortable:

1. KoR Whitening – The Gold Standard for Sensitive Teeth

KoR Whitening is one of the most advanced whitening systems available and a patient favorite here in Lakeview. What makes it different?

  • Extra-Strength Desensitizer: KoR includes a specially formulated desensitizing agent that’s applied before treatment, sealing enamel tubules and dramatically reducing sensitivity.

  • Continuous Refrigeration: Unlike many whitening gels, KoR is kept cold from the time it’s manufactured until the moment it’s used, preserving its full strength.

  • Deep Whitening Results: Able to lighten even tough stains (like tetracycline staining) while still protecting sensitive teeth.

  • Comfortable Experience: Patients often report less post-treatment sensitivity compared to other whitening systems.

For patients with sensitivity concerns, KoR is our top recommendation.

2. In-Office Professional Whitening

  • Fast results in about an hour.

  • Desensitizing agents used during treatment.

  • Perfect for a big event in Lakeview — from a wedding at Theater on the Lake to an important presentation downtown.

3. Custom Take-Home Whitening Trays

  • Made from impressions of your teeth for a perfect fit.

  • Low-sensitivity gel formulas.

  • Gradual whitening at your own pace.
