The Modern Standard of Care
A Brighter, More Radiant Smile
A bright, vibrant smile can completely transform your appearance and elevate your confidence. At Rittenhouse Smiles, we offer professional, highly effective teeth whitening treatments designed to safely lift years of stubborn stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, and aging.
Whether you are looking for the immediate, dramatic results of an in-office treatment, the convenience of a custom take-home kit, or a powerful solution for deep intrinsic stains like the KöR Whitening System, we provide personalized solutions. We help you achieve your ideal shade in a relaxing, comfortable environment, ensuring a radiant result without compromising your enamel.
Understanding Your Whitening Options
Over-The-Counter Kits
Store-bought strips and gels often cause significant tooth sensitivity and deliver inconsistent, patchy results. Because they rely on one-size-fits-all trays and weaker, non-refrigerated active ingredients, they simply cannot safely or effectively lift deep, embedded stains.
Custom Take-Home Trays
For gradual, stunning results on your own schedule. We take precise digital impressions to create custom-fit trays that seal professional-grade gel exactly where it belongs—on your teeth, not your gums. This provides a perfectly safe, highly effective outcome.
In-Office Whitening Sessions
If you have a big event coming up or prefer immediate, dramatic results, this is for you. Relax in our comfortable suite while we apply a high-potency gel and specialized light technology to safely whiten your teeth in about an hour under direct professional supervision.

Advanced Whitening Technology
Traditional whitening is great for surface stains, but deeply embedded discoloration requires a more advanced approach. KöR Whitening is widely recognized as the most effective and reliable protocol in the world, addressing unpredictable results and painful tooth sensitivity.
Continuously Refrigerated
Standard whitening gels lose significant potency sitting on warm shelves or during transit. KöR gels are kept continuously refrigerated from the factory directly to our office, ensuring 100% effectiveness when applied to your teeth.
Zero Sensitivity Protocol
Whitening shouldn’t hurt. The KöR system includes specialized desensitizers that plug the dentinal tubules, preventing the sharp “zingers” and sensitivity commonly associated with aggressive bleaching.
Erases Stubborn Stains
While other systems struggle with deep intrinsic discoloration, KöR restores your teeth’s ability to absorb oxygen, making it highly effective at treating notoriously difficult issues—including staining caused by tetracycline medications.
Targeted Cosmetic Solutions
ICON® White Spot Treatment
Some individuals naturally develop white, chalky spots on their teeth due to enamel hypoplasia, fluorosis, or decalcification following orthodontic treatment (like braces). Traditional teeth whitening is not effective for these spots—in fact, it can sometimes make them stand out even more against the newly whitened enamel.
For this unique concern, we utilize the revolutionary ICON® Resin Infiltration system. ICON® is a minimally invasive treatment specifically designed to penetrate and fill the porous white lesions with a light-cured resin. This seamlessly blends the white spots with the rest of your natural tooth color, resulting in a beautifully uniform smile—all with absolutely no drilling, no needles, and no anesthesia required.
