So many substances cause teeth to become stained and discolored. This includes tobacco products, obviously, but also common beverages like coffee, common foods like beets, and even medications such as tetracycline.
Thankfully there are also many options for brightening and whitening your teeth. Here at Wildflower Dental & Orthodontics in Frisco, we offerstate-of-the-art teeth whitening treatment that targets the deepest of stains: the KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ system.
What is KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™?
Developed by Dr. Rod Kurthy, KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ is a professional in-office and at-home whitening system that improves the way that your teeth absorb oxygen. By doing this, the KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ dissolves the discolored molecules in the tooth structure.
While most teeth whitening systems can only address extrinsic stains (i.e., stains originating at the surface of a tooth), KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ is able to address some very deep intrinsic stains, even discoloration that’s caused by tetracycline.
Ideal Candidates for KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™
The best candidates for KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ are people who suffer from tooth discoloration and staining but are in otherwise good dental health. They should understand the risks and benefits of the KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ system and have realistic expectations about what the treatment can achieve.
How KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ Works
KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ involves the use of custom dental trays to hold the special bleaching gel in place comfortably. The gel is placed using a plastic syringe directly into the trays as directed. Patients wear their whitening trays overnight and then remove them the next morning to clean their teeth and rinse the trays out.
This at-home treatment is combined with in-office KöR whitening that takes less than an hour to perform. This means that patients receive extra assistance removing those problematic dental stains they may have.
Total treatment times can vary based on the scheduling of visits, but the results are dramatic, By the end of a KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ treatment, patients can have smiles that are 14 whole shades lighter.
Reduced Tooth Sensitivity with KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™
One of the fascinating things about KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ is that patients often report reduced tooth sensitivity from treatment when compared to other over-the-counter dental bleaching systems. Surveys of patients suggest that with KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™, a person only experiences 10% of the sensitivity that they would when compared to other professional bleaching systems.
How does KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ compare to over-the-counter products?
There is no comparison. KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ simply blows the over-the-counter products out of the water. Even the most sophisticated over-the-counter system you can buy will not be as fast, as effective, or as safe as KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™. This is precisely why we use KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ here at our practice.
