You brush every day, avoid red wine and coffee, and still, your smile isn’t what it used to be. Teeth naturally change color over time from lifestyle choices, tobacco use, and diet. But dull, yellow teeth can leave you self-conscious during a big event or just in everyday life.

At Legends Dental in Lawrence, KS, Dr. WardThis link leads to Dr. Ward’s page offers professional teeth whitening, both in-office and at home, that can safely and dramatically whiten teeth.

5 common problems teeth whitening can fix

  • Yellowing caused by coffee, tea, or red wine

  • Stains from tobacco use

  • Discoloration from aging or medication

  • Uneven color from previous whitening strips

  • A dull smile before a special occasion

KöR Whitening gel includes a desensitizer, so your teeth will not be as sensitive compared to other teeth whiteners.

You can achieve amazing results with our KöR WhiteningThis link opens a new tab to the KöR Whitening website system with custom trays for home use and our in-office treatments.

Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

Here are just a few reasons why in-office whitening works better than basic at-home whitening.

Great combination with great results

Our whitening systems begin with the custom trays at home, and then you come to the office for the last steps to really seal and lock in the color for long-lasting results. This system includes a desensitizer, so your teeth will not be as sensitive compared to similar systems.

Legends DentalThis link leads to Home page in Lawrence, KS, can whiten your teeth safely and effectively in the office. We know there are many options available in stores and online, but the effectiveness and safety of those can be questionable.

Let us help you get the smile you desire!

  • Step 1

    We’ll make sure your teeth and gums are healthy before treatment, and then check the current shade and plan how white to go. The teeth are cleaned and prepped to remove any plaque.

  • Step 2

    After cleaning, the teeth are kept dry, and we may use a retractor to keep the lips and tongue out of the way. We also apply a gel or shield to protect the gums.

  • Step 3

    The front of your teeth are covered with a whitening solution, and light activates the whitening process. We closely time and monitor your progress until the agreed-upon shade is reached. Then we rinse and may apply fluoride for tooth sensitivity.

Once complete, we’ll go over a few home instructions, such as which food and drinks to avoid for the next few hours.

At Legends Dental, we use the KöR Whitening System, a top-tier choice known for its deep, lasting results thanks to continuous refrigeration and potent Hydremide® peroxide gel. Patients begin with custom-fitted KöR-Seal™ trays for comfortable, saliva‑sealed wear at home—typically overnight—for two weeks. Afterwards, a follow-up in-office treatment completes the process, ensuring optimal brightness with minimal sensitivity.

Steps in the KöR Whitening Process:

  • Custom tray creation: Impressions are taken, and saliva-sealing KöR-Seal™ trays are fabricated.
  • Two-week at-home use: Patients wear trays nightly with professional-grade gel that remains active for 6–10 hours.
  • Office follow-up: A final in-office session refines results, delivering deeper, longer-lasting whitening than most at-home options.

Benefits of KöR vs. typical at-home kits:

  • Extended activity time (6–10 hours vs. 25–35 minutes)
  • Custom trays block saliva to maximize gel effectiveness
  • Reduced sensitivity with professional desensitizing agents

The result: a brighter, more confident smile—often several shades whiter—without the fragility or uneven results of over-the-counter systems.

FAQ About Teeth Whitening

  • What is the best whitener for your teeth?

    One of the best ways to whiten your teeth is with a professional teeth whitening treatment at the dentist. There are many teeth whitening products in stores and online, but it’s important to choose a safe, effective, affordable, and quick method.

    If you’ve got a special occasion or big event coming up, it’s especially important to choose a whitening method that gets the job done in time.

    Our in-office procedure checks all the boxes above. Contact us to schedule a teeth whitening in Lawrence, KS.

  • Is it good to do teeth whitening?

    Teeth whitening is safe for your teeth as long as you use a dentist-approved method and are a candidate. If you have tooth sensitivity, receding gums, dental work, or a history of oral disease, please check with your dentist before whitening your teeth.

    If you’re a candidate for teeth whitening, then one of the best ways to whiten teeth is dental teeth whitening at Legends Dental.

  • How much does it cost to get white teeth?

    Teeth whitening is the least expensive cosmetic procedure at the dentist.

    You’ll get an immediate and improved appearance of your teeth and an instant confidence boost with professional teeth whitening. The procedure is affordable, and we’ll give you a cost estimate before scheduling your whitening appointment.

  • Is it worth it to get your teeth professionally whitened?

    Yes, getting your teeth professionally whitened is worth it. Patients report an immediate whiter smile that they couldn’t create at home with store-bought whiteners.

    Our dentist, Dr. Ryan WardThis link leads to Doctor page, can whiten your teeth by several shades, and the best part is that it can all be done in one visit. Professional teeth whitening is perfect before special events like a graduation, wedding, or anniversary.

    We all deserve to look our best. Even if you don’t have a special occasion coming up any time soon, it’s a good idea to schedule a teeth whitening appointment in Lawrence, KS.

  • How do celebrities get their teeth so white?

    This depends on the celebrity and the quality of their natural smile. Some celebrities use professional teeth whitening to get a star-worthy smile, while others whose natural teeth need extra work may opt for porcelain veneers.

    Porcelain veneers are thin shells bonded to existing teeth to transform their appearance. They fix smile flaws such as gaps, discoloration, misalignments, and fractures.

  • Why are my teeth so yellow even though I brush them?

    Many factors affect your tooth color, including the food you eat, the liquids you drink, age, dental hygiene, smoking, and even your lifestyle.

    Some factors are under our control, while others, like aging, are not. Teeth naturally change color as we age because of enamel wear. This can cause teeth to appear gray or yellow.

    If you brush your teeth daily and use an FDA-approved toothpaste but are still concerned about the color of your teeth, then please schedule a dentist appointment in Lawrence, KS to discuss your concerns and whitening options.
