Brighten Your Smile with Safe, Effective In-Office Whitening

Over time, it’s natural for teeth to become stained or discolored due to aging, diet, or everyday habits. But that doesn’t mean you have to live with a dull smile. At Cox Family Dentistry, we offer professional teeth whitening in Sikeston, MO to help you restore a bright, confident look with noticeable results—often in just one visit.

If you’re looking for a safe and effective way to remove stains and refresh your smile, we’re here to help you achieve the beautiful, radiant results you deserve.

Why Choose Professional Whitening?

With so many over-the-counter whitening products on the market, you might wonder what sets professional teeth whitening apart. Here’s why more patients choose professional care:

  • Faster results – See a noticeable difference after just one appointment
  • Even whitening – Custom treatment for consistent, natural-looking results
  • Stronger formulas – Clinical-grade whitening agents that work better than store-bought kits
  • Safe and supervised – Protects your enamel and reduces sensitivity
  • Long-lasting results – Maintain your brighter smile with proper care


Our whitening treatments are ideal for patients looking to reduce yellowing, stains from coffee or tobacco, or general discoloration caused by age or medications.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

Teeth whitening works by applying a peroxide-based gel to the surface of your teeth. This gel breaks down stains on the enamel and dentin, lifting years of discoloration without damaging your tooth structure.

At Cox Family Dentistry, we offer both in-office whitening and take-home kits with custom trays, depending on your preference, goals, and lifestyle.

In-Office Whitening

In-office whitening is the fastest and most powerful option. The treatment takes about an hour and is ideal if you want immediate results for a special event or just don’t want to wait.

  • Your gums and lips are protected
  • A whitening gel is applied to your teeth in short, controlled sessions
  • You leave the office with a noticeably whiter smile—up to 6–8 shades brighter in one visit

Take-Home Whitening Kits

Prefer to whiten your teeth more gradually? Our custom-fitted take-home whitening trays allow you to brighten your smile on your own schedule, with safe and effective results.

  • We create trays that fit your teeth perfectly
  • You receive professional-strength whitening gel and easy instructions
  • Results typically appear within 1–2 weeks with daily use

Whichever method you choose, Dr. Sam Cox will walk you through the process and help you decide which option best fits your needs.

Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?

Most adults and teens with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates for whitening. However, whitening may not be effective for:

  • Restorations like crowns, veneers, or fillings (these won’t change color)
  • Deep internal discoloration from trauma or medications
  • Patients with active gum disease or untreated cavities

During your consultation, Dr. Cox will evaluate your smile and let you know whether whitening is a safe and effective option for you.

How Long Do Results Last?

With good oral hygiene and some basic lifestyle choices, whitening results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years or more. To help maintain your brighter smile:

  • Brush and floss daily
  • Limit staining foods and drinks like coffee, red wine, and dark berries
  • Avoid tobacco products
  • Touch up with take-home trays as needed


Regular cleanings and checkups at Cox Family Dentistry will also help keep your teeth looking their best year-round.
