KöR Whitening
ZOOM WHITENING Whitening gels can yield rapid results for achieving a brighter smile,
particularly when combined with a dental visit. Dentists have access to professional-grade
products not available over the counter, thanks to their specialized training and expertise.
Moreover, following your dentist's guidance, there are also take-home options available to
maintain your whitening treatment.
What is KöR Whitening?
KöR Whitening employs custom trays designed to enhance teeth whitening using hydrogen
peroxide, resulting in a whiter smile. These trays allow for a more effective and extended
application period without being affected by saliva, which can otherwise break down the
active whitening ingredients.
In fact, when paired with KöR gels, these trays can deliver 6-10 hours of whitening action,
effectively eliminating debris from both the enamel surface and within its interstitial
spaces.
Unlike some other whitening methods, KöR doesn't rely on lasers or additional lights. It
provides a range of treatment options, from take-home kits to in-office procedures, making
it suitable for patients with varying whitening objectives.
KöR's delivery system is unique in that it uses three barrels to store ingredients, allowing
more whitening agents to remain inert until they're mixed, thereby enhancing the
effectiveness of the bleaching agents used.
Addressing Sensitivity
The robust and less contaminated application of the KöR method ensures enduring results by
saturating stained particles with its bleaching agent, which subsequently breaks down larger,
pigmented particles into smaller, colorless ones.
To maintain lasting results, regular dental cleanings and check-ups are essential. Typically, a
six-month cleaning schedule is recommended to keep your teeth at their whitest, though it's
advisable to consult with your dentist to determine the ideal frequency of visits. These
cleanings prevent the buildup of calculus, which can trap staining particles against the teeth,
leaving them with no option but to return to the spaces within your enamel. Many dental
practices offer in-house dental plans to make preventive care affordable for uninsured patients,
while those with dental insurance usually receive these cleanings at no additional cost.
Naturally, maintaining a bright, white smile also involves regular brushing and flossing.
It's crucial to consult your dentist before commencing any tooth whitening treatment. Discuss any
past issues with sensitivity, your desired level of whiteness, and any other concerns you may
have. Your dentist can work with you to achieve the most natural-looking, bright smile possible.
