About your dentist
Dr. Corey Schumer — 12+ years of dentistry in Tucson.
Dr. Schumer acquired Schumer Dental's East Tucson office on Wilmot Road in 2012 and opened the Oro Valley office at 11115 N La Cañada Dr in late 2025. He's a 2022 and 2025 Better Business Bureau Torch Award for Ethics finalist and offers professional take-home teeth whitening for patients across Saddlebrooke, Rancho Vistoso, Catalina Foothills, Tanque Verde, and the broader Tucson area.
What makes him different: Dr. Schumer handles every case personally. No associates, no rotating dentists, no handing off teeth whitening to a junior provider.
The process, step by step.
Consultation
Dr. Schumer evaluates your teeth and current shade, and discusses your goals.
Custom Trays
We take impressions or digital scans to create custom-fit whitening trays just for your mouth.
At-Home Whitening
Use the trays with professional-grade gel at home over 1-2 weeks for gradual brightening.
Touch-Ups
Maintain your results with periodic touch-ups every 6-12 months.
Is this right for you?
Surface-Stained Teeth
Whitening works best on surface stains from coffee, tea, wine, smoking, or age-related yellowing.
Healthy Teeth and Gums
Untreated decay or gum disease should be addressed first.
Realistic Expectations
Whitening brightens existing teeth — it doesn't work on crowns, veneers, or fillings. Internal staining (from medications, etc.) may not respond to whitening.
Meet Dr. Schumer first.
Cosmetic and restorative dentistry is an investment of time and trust. Before you decide anything about teeth whitening, we offer a complimentary meet & greet so you can see who you'd be working with — no pressure, no obligation, no clinical exam.
What to expect from a meet & greet
- Introduce yourself and meet Dr. Schumer in person
- Ask any questions about teeth whitening, the process, or his approach
- No clinical exam, no commitment — just a conversation
- Available at either our Oro Valley or East Tucson office
Available at both Schumer Dental offices.
Our Oro Valley and East Tucson offices operate as two separate business entities — insurance coverage varies by location. The same Dr. Schumer works at both, and you'll receive the same standard of care. Call to confirm your plan.
Common questions.
Does Dr. Schumer offer in-office whitening?
No. Dr. Schumer offers professional take-home whitening only. Custom-fit trays from Dr. Schumer deliver more striking results than over-the-counter options, with materials chosen to limit sensitivity.
How long do results last?
Results typically last 12-18 months with maintenance. Periodic touch-ups extend that significantly.
Will whitening cause sensitivity?
Some sensitivity is common with any whitening treatment. Dr. Schumer chooses options that are designed to limit the amount of sensitivity you may experience.
Will whitening work on my crowns or veneers?
No. Whitening only works on natural tooth enamel. Crowns, veneers, and fillings won't change color. If you have a mix, we typically whiten first, then match restorations to your new shade.
How is take-home different from over-the-counter strips?
Take-home whitening from Dr. Schumer uses custom-fit trays and professional-grade gel, which delivers more striking results than over-the-counter products.
Can whitening damage my teeth?
When done correctly with professional products, whitening does not damage healthy teeth. Dr. Schumer evaluates your situation to make sure it's right for you.
Where can I get teeth whitening in Tucson?
Dr. Schumer offers teeth whitening at both Schumer Dental offices — East Tucson on Wilmot Road (1221 N Wilmot Rd) and Oro Valley on La Cañada Drive (11115 N La Cañada Dr Ste. 101). Patients drive in from Saddlebrooke, Rancho Vistoso, Catalina Foothills, Tanque Verde, and across greater Tucson.
Do you welcome snowbirds and seasonal patients?
Yes — our Oro Valley office sees a large number of snowbirds and winter visitors. Dr. Schumer can plan and complete teeth whitening within a typical winter stay, and we coordinate with your home dentist for any follow-up care.
