As a holistic/biological dentistry provider, your safety is paramount at Shane Nelson DDS. Any questionable products, technologies, and services are not at our Overland Park, Kansas office. Dr. Nelson has carefully scrutinized every material and product used in our practice. So, you have peace of mind; he has selected only those products and systems with a demonstrated clinical effectiveness and safety history. You know that cosmetic treatments like professional teeth whitening will be safe and will not contribute to the development of damage that requires restorative dental care. Read on for four ways professionals support the utmost comfort, safety, and reliability of treatments to remove stains and lighten discolored teeth.

No. 1: Doctor-supervised treatment

Dr. Nelson oversees and tailors your one-of-a-kind treatment at every step. He accounts for the type and severity of staining and your unique smile goals when selecting the most appropriate whitening gel and the correct concentration of that gel. He also advises on the best way to time and other specifics associated with your treatment. For instance, some patients may be able to tolerate wearing the whitening trays for a longer time each day than others who may be prone to sensitivity. Even after reaching your desired level of whitening, customized treatment and supervision are essential to ensure the most comfortable, safe, and predictable experience and outcomes.

No. 2: The health of your teeth = our priority

Even before we proceed with treatment, Dr. Nelson must confirm that your teeth and gums are healthy. Otherwise, the gels can penetrate decay, cause intense sensitivity, and only worsen the underlying problem. Plus, such treatments will not work on exposed tooth roots (because these roots do not have an enamel layer). Whitening agents will also not help with the exposed roots as they, too, are more vulnerable to decay. In these types of cases, Dr. Nelson will recommend restorative dentistry. Then, as appropriate, professional whitening and other cosmetic elective procedures may be performed after the source of the problem has been successfully treated and resolved.

No. 3: Custom-fit trays make a world of difference

Many products that claim to whiten your teeth online or at the drugstore rely on one-size-fits-most systems.

The trays that deliver the whitening gel are often rubbed uncomfortably and lack a strong seal because they are not custom-fitted to a specific mouth. These “universal” trays can be uncomfortable to wear and may even irritate and damage soft and hard tissues, not to mention the results are often uneven and hardly what you would want to see when you look in the mirror and smile.

No. 4: Proven systems

You can trust the Shane Nelson DDS office’s products, methods, and teeth whitening options. Options like KöR^® Whitening have been carefully studied and handpicked by Dr. Nelson. KöR’s proprietary formulation and unique seal trays result from extensive research and development. They are designed to enhance whitening effectiveness while minimizing the risk of sensitivity often associated with conventional systems. So, you can whiten without the risk by partnering with our biological practice.
