Tooth Whitening FAQ

Creating Beautiful Smiles

What is KöR?

KöR  Whitening Deep Bleach is the newest, most effective whitening system in the world today. KöR Whitening is the only system recognized to significantly whiten even difficult tetracycline stained teeth, which was previously thought to be impossible. KöR Whitening is available for at-home only whitening, and Deep Bleaching systems, which, include one or two in-office wheitening visits and at-home whitening.

Why does KöR Whitening work so well?

The KöR Whitening System works by restoring your teeth’s ability to absorb oxygen. The oxygen from its whitening gel is absorbed deeply into the tooth, dissolving stain molecules.

How does the KöR Whitening system work?

Molds of your teeth will be made to fabricate your own unique, ultra-comfortable KöR-Seal whitening trays. You and your dentist will select which level of KöR Whitening is the proper fit for you. You will normally wear your KöR-Seal trays at home for two weeks while you sleep. Depending on your selections, you may have one or two simple whitening visits in the dental office.

Is it safe?

Whitening products have been clinically studied and safely used on millions of patients without harm to teeth or gums. Whitening is considered entirely safe.

Is there pain or discomfort with KöR Whitening?

Many have experienced pain during teeth whitening. Maybe you’ve experienced it yourself. After several years of research, development and clinical testing, the inventor of KöR Whitening introduced a whitening gel that, in most cases, produces little to no sensitivity. As a result, most patients have no discomfort from whitening when using this system. Testing has shown that patients who do feel some sensitivity using KöR Whitening typically feel no more than 10% of the sensitivity they’d feel from other whitening gels.

Does it matter how old I am?

The younger teeth are, the more brilliantly they whiten. However, KöR Whitening rejuvenates even older teeth back to their youthful ability to whiten incredibly well, even if you’re 90 years old.

How white will my teeth get?

KöR Whitening whitens teeth dramatically, often lightening them 16 shades or more. Although everyone is different, with the proper KöR Whitening System, all teeth will have stunning results. It even whitens tetracycline-stained teeth significantly!

Will my teeth look too white and unnatural?

No. Real teeth can’t look unnatural, they just look beautifully white. If you have seen people with ultra-white, fake-looking teeth, these were probably false teeth, teeth with porcelain crowns, or veneers that may have been made too white and too opaque. You’ll get the ideal shade that’s right for you.

Will my crowns, veneers or fillings whiten too?

No. If you have any of these on your front teeth, you may need to replace some of them after whitening.

How long does KöR Whitening last?

Unlike other whitening methods, with easy periodic at-home maintenance, KöR Whitening is entirely permanent.

How will coffee, tea, smoking and red wine affect my teeth after whitening?

With your easy at-home maintenance, these staining foods will have no effect on the brilliant color of your teeth.

Will the whitening trays be uncomfortable, difficult to sleep with or will the whitening gel leak out of the trays?

No. KöR-Seal™ whitening trays are very different. They’re comfortable; because they’re thin and form-fitting, you’ll forget they’re even in your mouth. They’re convenient; by wearing these while you sleep, it doesn’t interfere with your busy day. Also, unlike regular whitening trays, KöR-Seal whitening trays seal the whitening gel inside the tray, preventing the gel from quickly leaking into your mouth.
