KöR Whitening and Tips to Make it Last!

Exceptional Dentistry patients love the results of their KöR tooth whitening treatments. It always surprises them that their teeth can get up to ten shades whiter and that it can make such a dramatic difference in their appearance. We love that whitening your teeth can actually take years off your looks and make you look healthier and brighter.

Many of our patients come to us for smile whitening because they have a special event like a wedding or a reunion coming up, but of course, they want their gorgeous, white smiles to stay that way. Here are a few tips to help keep your teeth their whitest – and healthiest:

  1. Eat only at meal times. Why? For about 20 minutes after you drink or eat anything, especially sugary foods and candies, your mouth is under attack. If you space your eating out over the day or for hours while at a party, your teeth will be exposed to harm for much longer than they should be! Try to do all your eating at once and try to choose treats that aren’t sticky or chewy.
  2. Brush your teeth after you eat. If you can’t brush after eating something sweet, swish some water in your mouth. Even drinking a glass of water can help rinse sugars or staining agents off your teeth.
  3. If you drink a lot of red wine and coffee over the holiday season, keep in mind that these are very staining. Rinse your mouth with water and keep a whitening pen handy for touch ups. Or consider scheduling a post holiday whitening and cleaning to get your teeth back in shape after all the indulgence.

Even though I had not been to a dentist in almost 10 years prior, Dr. Ratner and his team were still able to provide me with “Exceptional Dentistry”. They were kind, courteous, clean, professional, quick, and used state-of-the-art equipment to restore my teeth and smile.

If you are searching for a great dentist, look no further. Clean, modern, bright office. Great staff. Everyone wears a smile, is very friendly and professional. And Dr. Ratner is great. I called with an emergency on a holiday weekend and got a return call within 5 minutes!

Absolutely an excellent experience. Dr. Ratner and his entire staff show professionalism and courtesy. Needed to go several times for a root canal, crown fitting, and cleaning, and every time was met with kindness and caring. Uses only the best and up to date technology to work on all your needs. Highly recommended!

- Paul S.

Exceptional only begins to scratch the surface of the type of service, one may receive from Dr. Ratner and his staff at Exceptional Dentistry.

Not only is their dental work of the highest order, the sheer kindness and bedside manner of the entire staff, is truly extraordinary.

As someone who neglected their oral health for years, resulting in daily physical discomfort and a deterioration of confidence, I can fully attest to the life-changing experience I had with Exceptional Dentistry. Life-changing is not an exaggeration, but a statement of fact.

- Patrick

I had an exceptional experience at Dr. Ratner’s office. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and informative. I had very minor gum recontouring done and the process was very carefully done and very quick. Whether it was a minor procedure or not, I am so happy I trusted Exceptional Dentistry and it has made a world of a difference to me.
Great place, great people, great work. Thank you!

- Christina C.

It’s called Exceptional Dentistry because they provide exceptional service. Dr. Ratner is by far the best dentist/oral surgeon I have ever met. Highly skilled and extremely competent. Responsible for all of my perfectly performed implants. State of the art office and equipment. Office staff extremely professional and courteous. I highly recommend Dr. Ratner for all your dental needs.

- Pasquale D.

Painless dentistry at its best!! Beautiful, immaculate office with the most pleasant staff. Dr. Ratner is a true professional and explains everything he is doing. I had a root canal and didn’t feel a thing – I was waiting for at least some discomfort that night, but nothing! Simply an AMAZING experience!! Go there, you will be glad you did. 😀
