Brighten Your Smile with KoR Teeth Whitening
At Santa Rosa Dentistry and Implant Center, we understand the importance of a bright, white smile and its impact on your confidence. We are proud to offer KoR Teeth Whitening, a highly effective and advanced teeth whitening system designed to deliver stunning results.
What is KoR Teeth Whitening?
KoR Teeth Whitening is a professional teeth whitening system known for its exceptional ability to whiten even the most stubborn stains. Unlike over-the-counter whitening products, KoR is tailored to your individual needs and administered under the supervision of a dental professional.
How Does KoR Teeth Whitening Work?
KoR Teeth Whitening uses a unique, scientifically formulated whitening gel that is continuously refrigerated from the moment it is manufactured until it is applied to your teeth. This ensures maximum potency and effectiveness. The system has specially made trays that guarantee the whitening gel is applied uniformly and remains in contact with your teeth for the best possible results.
What is the Procedure for KoR Whitening?
During the initial consultation, we evaluate your dental health and discuss your whitening goals. Impressions of your teeth are taken to create custom trays. Patients usually wear the trays filled with the KoR whitening gel for a few hours each day or overnight over two weeks. A combination of in-office and at-home treatments may be recommended for severe staining, such as tetracycline stains.
Is KoR Teeth Whitening Safe?
Yes, KoR Teeth Whitening is safe. The whitening gel is designed to be gentle on the teeth and gums, minimizing sensitivity. The custom trays ensure that the gel does not come into contact with the gums, further reducing the risk of irritation.
How Effective is KoR Teeth Whitening?
KoR Teeth Whitening is known for delivering dramatic results, whitening teeth up to 16 shades or more. It effectively removes many stains, including those caused by coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and tetracycline, which is notoriously difficult to treat.
How Long Do the Results Last?
With proper care, the results of KoR Teeth Whitening can last a lifetime. This includes maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding staining foods and beverages, and using occasional touch-up treatments with your custom trays.
Who is a Candidate for KoR Teeth Whitening?
Most individuals are good candidates for KoR Teeth Whitening. It is particularly beneficial for those with severe staining or who have yet to obtain satisfactory results with other whitening methods. However, a thorough dental examination is necessary to determine if KoR is best for you.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Some patients may experience mild tooth sensitivity during whitening, but this typically subsides shortly after treatment. Compared to other whitening methods, the KoR system is specifically designed to minimize sensitivity.
How Do I Maintain My Whitened Smile?
Brushing and flossing regularly and routine dental visits are essential to maintaining your newly whitened smile. Avoiding dark-colored foods and drinks that cause staining can also help prolong the results. Additionally, using your custom trays for occasional touch-up treatments will help brighten your smile.
A bright, white smile can significantly enhance your appearance and confidence. To transform your smile, call Santa Rosa Dentistry and Implant Center at (707) 542-6772.
