Decisions, Decisions: Over-The-Counter or In-Office Teeth Whitening
July 30, 2015
There are plenty of reasons why patients choose to have their teeth whitened. Maybe you’re part of the wedding party for an upcoming ceremony and you need to get those chompers bleached. In the business world, nothing pads a good impression more than having a white, bright smile. The important question to ask yourself isn’t why you need whitening treatment, but how you want it done. There are various reasons as to why teeth become discolored to begin with, and a lot of it has to do with what you’re eating and drinking. The only way to receive whitening treatment is either in a dental office or using over-the-counter products. Our office in Norman, OK is equipped with both in-office and at-home treatment options. We can’t say which treatment will be right for you, but we can help guide you down the right path. For the best advice for teeth whitening, Norman residents know who they can trust: Dr. Bobby Carmen.

Make 2015 Your Brightest Year Yet with Teeth Whitening from Dr. Bobby Carmen in Norman, OK
January 15, 2015
It’s not too late to make one more New Year’s resolution: smile more. But if your smile isn’t as white and bright as you’d like, that may be a difficult resolution to keep. So, why not consider doing something to make that resolution a cinch? Dr. Bobby Carmen in Norman, OK, revives smiles with professional teeth whitening.
As we age, our teeth become stained and discolored for a number of reasons, including:
- Commonly consumed foods and drinks, such as blueberries and red wine
- Tobacco use
- Certain medications, such as the antibiotic tetracycline
- Genetic predisposition
- The unavoidable aging process itself
Fortunately, there is a way to reverse the hands of time. Teeth whitening is a popular and safe alternative to simply putting up with a dull smile. Dr. Carmen uses the Kör® Whitening Deep Bleaching™ System. Kör combines the precision and comfort of custom-fitted trays that we fabricate in the office with the convenience and comfort of whitening your teeth at home.
Teeth Whitening in Norman, OK
When you visit Dr. Carmen for teeth whitening, we’ll take impressions of your teeth in order to make form-fitting trays that snuggly but comfortably hold the whitening gel against your teeth. The KöR whitening gel restores your teeth’s ability to absorb oxygen. The oxygen from its whitening gel is absorbed deeply into the tooth, dissolving stain molecules. You’ll notice results within a few days, but for maximum whiteness, you should continue treatment for about two weeks.
At the end of treatment, your teeth will be dramatically whiter, and Kor even whitens teeth stained by tetracycline. In addition, patients report low tooth-sensitivity using the Kör® Whitening Deep Bleaching™ System. For long-lasting brilliance, Dr. Carmen may recommend combining in-office teeth whitening with periodic take-home touch-ups.

Get the Bright, Beautiful Smile You Want & Deserve with Teeth Whitening from Dr. Bobby J. Carmen
March 27, 2014
If you find yourself feeling insecure or even embarrassed about the color of your teeth, you are certainly not alone. In fact, most Americans report at least some level of desire to brighten the shade of their teeth, saying that a whiter smile makes them look and feel more youthful and attractive. At the Norman, OK office of Dr. Bobby J. Carmen, our team of dental professionals performs a variety of cosmetic dentistry treatments for more beautiful smiles, including KöR Teeth Whitening.
Why Professional Teeth Whitening?
Unlike the teeth whitening strips, trays, pens, and gels that you can buy at your local drugstore, our professional whitening services deliver real results that last. Dr. Carmen offers his patients the advantage of KöR Whitening, a deep bleaching teeth whitening system that has the ability to lighten even the most severely stained teeth by up to 16 shades! Over-the-counter solutions are not nearly as powerful, typically only whitening by two to three shades.
In addition to the impressive whitening power of KöR Deep Bleaching, this system offers numerous other benefits. Sensitivity, for example, is not a problem with this product as it is with the majority of teeth whitening solutions on the market today. In fact, the majority of patients treated with the KöR Whitening system report feeling no sensitivity to the formula whatsoever, and even those who did claimed that the mild feeling they did experience was far less than with any other system they’d tried. Within as little as two weeks with the KöR Deep Bleaching system from Dr. Carmen, you’ll be smiling with whiter, more beautiful teeth.
A Bright, White Smile in No Time
If you’d like to enjoy the many benefits of a brilliantly white smile that lasts, contact our office in Norman, OK today and reserve your appointment with our friendly, knowledgeable staff. We look forward to giving you back the confidence you deserve to smile freely, showing off luminescent white teeth that still look completely natural. Dr. Carmen also serves patients from nearby communities in the surrounding areas, including Central Oklahoma, the University of Oklahoma, Moore, Norman and beyond.

What Is a Smile Makeover?
February 29, 2012
As February turns into March, warmer weather is on the way. And with this warmer weather comes thoughts of heading outdoors and enjoying the sunshine.
There are a lot of ways you can prepare for this welcome change, and one of them is with a smile makeover from Dr. Carmen’s Norman dental office.
What is a smile makeover, exactly?
It’s a combination of cosmetic dentistry services designed to help you achieve your brightest, most dazzling smile possible.
When planning a smile makeover, Dr. Carmen will take a range of factors into consideration, including aspects like tooth color, tooth length, tooth alignment, and tooth integrity.
Based on what we find from a thorough oral exam, we can then recommend which services we think will benefit you the most. For some, that may just be teeth whitening. For others, we may recommend a combination of two or more services, like teeth whitening and porcelain veneers.
Are you ready to get started on a smile makeover for this spring or summer? Call our office to schedule a consultation. Dr. Carmen serves patients from Norman, Moore, the University of Oklahoma, and beyond. During your visit, we’d be happy to answer any questions you might have about our services and how they can help you boost your smile.
