KöR Teeth Whitening: A Complete Guide

There are many different options for teeth whitening both at home and at the dentist. Learn all about KöR teeth whitening in this guide.

Whether at home or in a dental office, teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in this country. Around 45 million Americans whiten their teeth each year on average.

One of the most popular and effective treatment options is KöR teeth whitening.



Are you tired of living with dull or yellowish teeth? Your dentist in New York NY offers professional whitening treatments that can brighten your smile by several shades. Read on to learn how to whiten teeth and why KöR is the whitening treatment of choice for so many people.

What Is KöR Teeth Whitening?

KöR teeth whitening is a revolutionary dental treatment for dull or discolored teeth. The advanced whitening gel breaks down and lifts dental stains through cosmetic treatment options that can be completed at home or at our dental practice. 

KöR Home is a great teeth whitening option for many of our patients. The at-home treatments include a two-week regimen that can be completed during the day or at night. 

KöR Max is an in-office option that jumpstarts the whitening process. This option takes around two weeks to complete. 

KöR Ultra works best for patients who have deep stains. The treatment relies on a 13% tri-barrel peroxide gel that is used with KöR Seal Whitening Trays. Patients follow-up the three to four weeks of whitening with a final in-office treatment that uses a 34% peroxide gel. 

KöR Ultra-T is the strongest option in the KöR lineup. This treatment is recommended for patients who have very deep stains that do not respond to other whitening treatments. This dental service work similarly to KöR Ultra but the timeline is much longer, typically six to eight weeks.

Are You a Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

If you are tired of living with dull and tarnished teeth then you are likely a great candidate for KöR. Dental discoloration can result from a variety of factors. 

Diet

Did you know that certain types of foods can actually whiten your smile? 

Many of our patients seek teeth whitening to remove years of stains from certain diets and drinks. Coffee, dark teas, dark chocolate, certain berries, and soft drinks all contain ingredients that can tarnish teeth. 

Genetics

A lot of our physical features result from genetics, and teeth are no exception. Some people have thinner enamel that is more prone to staining. Genetic factors don't have to set you back if you desire a bright and dazzling smile. 

Poor Oral Hygiene

Here's a reason why you should consider improving your oral hygiene habits: Brushing and flossing actually leave your teeth looking whiter. Oral hygiene habits remove plaque that leaves teeth looking yellow and dull. 

Smoking

Tobacco products are notorious for discoloring teeth. If you smoke or use tobacco products, be aware that those stains may soon undo any benefits you gain from teeth whitening. 

How Does KöR Teeth Whitening Work?

If you are researching how to whiten teeth, then you are now learning about one of the most effective treatment options. 

Whether you undergo the treatments at home or in our office, your safety will be a top priority. For at-home use, read the instructions very carefully.

At-home options include an advanced mouthguard and barrels of whitening gel. Place whitening gel inside the mouthguards as directed by the instructions you are sent home with. Then, carefully place the mouthguard on before you go to sleep.

As you sleep, the bleaching agents gently lift intrinsic stains from your enamel. Once you have completed the requisite number of treatments, you can enjoy a smile that is several shades whiter.

The in-office options offer faster and more drastic results. First, our dentist will place a protective barrier between your gums and teeth. This keeps the bleaching agent from coming into contact with soft tissues. 

In-office treatments use higher concentrations of bleaching agents that work quickly to break down and lift stains. Professional whitening treatments offer drastic results in as little as one hour. 



Teeth whitening comes with few potential side effects. Some people may experience minor dental sensitivity for a day or two after treatment. 

Benefits of Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening delivers drastic cosmetic benefits that leave your teeth looking white and healthy. Many of our patients report feeling boosted self-esteem following this straightforward treatment. 

Whitening treatments are very affordable. Compared to porcelain veneers or orthodontics, professional teeth whitening can revamp your smile for only a fraction of what other cosmetic treatments would typically cost. Ask about our CareCredit financing options. 

Whitening results can last for years. We encourage our patients to maintain their cosmetic results by brushing carefully twice a day, flossing, and using a quality therapeutic mouthwash. 



Start paying attention to what you eat and drink. You may need to cut back on coffee or opt for a quick gulp of espresso instead of sipping on a cup of java. You can also purchase extra barrels of whitening bleach for periodic touch-up sessions at home.
