Teeth Whitening
Do stained or discolored teeth leave you feeling embarrassed and self-conscious about the appearance of your smile?
Matthew A. Turner, DDS offers professional teeth whitening to Kansas City, MO, patients who want whiter, brighter smiles.
Dr. Turner can significantly whiten your smile in a single appointment at our state-of-the-art dental office with professional whitening.
Remove Years of Dental Stains Professional Teeth Whitening Can Transform Your Smile
Even patients with excellent oral hygiene who use over-the-counter products to whiten teeth, such as tooth whitening toothpaste and hydrogen peroxide-based whitening strips, can develop stains that require professional treatment. At Matthew A. Turner D.D.S., P.C., we can use professional, in-office bleaching processes to address stubborn tooth discoloration. Professional whitening at our advanced Blue Springs dental office serving Kansas City includes:
Stains and tooth discoloration can result from the aging process, smoking, and drinks such as coffee, tea, and red wine. With professional teeth whitening, our dentist can brighten teeth up to eight shades in a single appointment, allowing you to walk out of our office with a dazzling, luminescent smile.
Compared to over-the-counter products like whitening toothpaste or peroxide whitening strips, which can take weeks of regular use before showing any noticeable whitening progress, professional teeth whitening provides immediate results. In about an hour, even stubborn stains can be removed, rejuvenating your appearance.
It only takes a single discolored tooth in an otherwise healthy smile to bring about feelings of self-consciousness. With the help of our caring dentist, professional tooth whitening can not only improve the appearance of your teeth, but give you a smile you can feel confident in sharing with the world.
We Also Offer Take-Home Kits So You Can Whiten Your Teeth on Your Schedule
If you'd rather whiten your teeth from the comfort of your home, our Kansas City-area dental office can provide you with a whitening kit and custom trays. Like in-office tooth whitening, our take-home kits use hydrogen peroxide to bleach away stubborn stains. This option is less expensive than in-office treatment, though it will take longer to see results. Our dentist will instruct you on how often and how long to use your whitening kit for optimal results.

If you’re trying to find a dentist this is the only place I would recommend. I’ve been going here for 6+ years mainly because I lived in the same city but after moving cities I tried a few other dentists and nobody can compare to Matthew. I would rather drive an hour to Matthew than go anywhere else! Everyone on Matthew’s team will make you feel like family.

Managing Tooth Sensitivity After Whitening Treatment
Tooth sensitivity is a potential side effect of teeth whitening and is most often a result of the bleaching solution used. Typically, tooth sensitivity after whitening is temporary and resolves within a few days of treatment. Still, there are steps you can take to alleviate the discomfort of sensitive teeth in the meantime, including:
- Use toothpaste with a sensitive formula and a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Rinse with a fluoride-based mouthwash
- Avoid acidic, sweet, or sour foods
- Stick to room-temperature foods and beverages
If you have sensitive teeth or want to learn more about any sensitivity you might experience after teeth whitening, Dr. Turner is happy to consult you on what you can expect.
Aftercare Tips to Keep Your Teeth Sparkling
In addition to following the tips above to minimize discomfort and sensitivity, follow these tips to keep your smile looking dazzling:
Watch What You Eat and Drink
You've spent time and money to whiten your teeth, so don't backslide by staining the enamel all over again. Limit dark-pigmented foods and drinks, brush and floss regularly, and don't hesitate to rinse your mouth with water after enjoying a glass of wine.
Don't Use Tobacco
Smoking or using tobacco in other forms is a leading cause of yellow, discolored teeth. A nicotine patch can help you curb the habit. It's best to quit using these products entirely to maintain both your health and the results of teeth whitening.
Avoid Colored Dental Products
Be aware that some dental products you use could stain your teeth. For instance, charcoal toothpaste is known to naturally detox the mouth, but using these dark products immediately after your procedure can result in stained teeth.

Other Solutions for Stained Teeth Are Veneers Right for You?
Teeth whitening can eliminate surface stains, otherwise known as extrinsic stains. These are stains you get from smoking, drinking and eating dark drinks and food, and other factors within your control. Intrinsic stains discolor your tooth on the inside, making them resilient to teeth whitening treatment. Intrinsic stains can result from an injury, be a side effect of certain medications, or even be a part of your genetics.
Veneers can help conceal these intrinsic stains that can't be lifted with teeth whitening treatments. Veneers can also help conceal minor misalignment and crowding in your smile much faster than orthodontic treatment can correct it.
Want an Inexpensive Alternative? Dental Bonding Works, Too
While veneers are a long-lasting solution for concealing intrinsic stains, they can be out-of-budget for some patients. They also require the removal of a small amount of enamel, which can seem daunting.
Dental bonding is a procedure that uses resin to conceal flaws like intrinsic stains, chips, and cracks. Dental bonding only requires a slight etching in the surface of the treated tooth, so it's a much more conservative treatment option than veneers. It also costs considerably less and can be a great way for you to preview the results of a veneer to see if you want to commit to treatment.
Need to Correct Multiple Concerns? Try a Smile Makeover
If you have multiple cosmetic concerns, like chips, gaps, cracks, stains, deep discoloration, and dental misalignment, a smile makeover can address them. A smile makeover combines different cosmetic dentistry procedures into one streamlined care plan to overhaul the appearance of your smile while saving you time and money. Our dentist can perform your treatments on your schedule and may even perform some of them in the same appointment to save you a few trips to our dental office serving Kansas City, MO.
Your smile makeover plan will be custom-tailored to your goals and can include any combination of:
- Dental Bonding
- Dental Crowns
- Invisalign®
- Teeth Whitening
- Veneers
- And More!

Teeth Bleaching FAQ
How does teeth whitening actually work?
Teeth whitening uses peroxide, a bleaching agent that penetrates into the enamel. This peroxide breaks up the stains and lifts them away, resulting in whiter teeth.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes. When overseen by our Kansas City-area dentist, teeth whitening treatments are safe. While store-bought teeth whitening products that are approved by the ADA are also safe, using them on your own may make your teeth and soft tissues more sensitive, irritate your gums, and wear down your enamel over time.
How long do the results of teeth bleaching last?
The results of your bleaching treatment can last one to three years. However, if you smoke, drink dark-colored liquids, or eat foods that stain, your results won't last as long. Try to consume these substances in moderation.
