Teeth whitening, also called bleaching, is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment designed to change the color of your natural tooth enamel. It’s a great way to enhance the beauty of your smile.
Because having whiter teeth is a top aesthetic goal for many patients, there are several ways to whiten teeth. The most popular method is an at-home teeth whitening system that can dramatically brighten your smile.
Since teeth whitening works only on natural tooth enamel, it’s important to evaluate any old fillings, crowns, or restorations you may have. These will be replaced after bleaching to ensure they match your newly whitened teeth.
Our office uses KöR Whitening, widely recognized as the world’s most effective teeth whitening system.
KöR offers cost-effective options ranging from excellent home whitening for most patients to advanced treatment for stubborn cases like tetracycline staining.
Unlike most whitening gels that are only active for 25–35 minutes, KöR’s specially designed KöR-Seal™ trays seal out saliva and sulcular fluid. This allows the whitening gel to stay active for 6 to 10 hours, providing a deeper, longer-lasting whitening effect.
Common reasons for whitening include:
This whitening treatment generally requires three visits to complete.
It’s normal to experience some tooth sensitivity during the whitening process, but this usually fades shortly after you stop treatment.
