KöR Whitening and Tooth Gems

Why does KöR Whitening work so well?

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

How long does KöR Whitening last?

Maintenance whitening allows for long lasting effects. Without maintenance whitening most patients see the same results for over a year. Staining foods and drinks can decrease the length of time that your teeth stay whiter.

Is it safe?

Whitening products have been clinically studied for more than three decades and safely used on millions of patients without harm to teeth or gum tissue. KöR Whitening is considered entirely safe.

Is there pain or discomfort with KöR Whitening?

After years of research, development and clinical testing, Dr. Rod Kurthy, 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.  We have found KöR Whitening to be the gentlest whitening system available.

Does it matter how old I am?

Teeth are safely whitened at any age, however, whitening is not recommended until the permanent teeth are all fully erupted in the mouth. As you age, it becomes harder to penetrate the enamel. KoR allows for consistent whitening even in elderly patients, but more time is required to whiten in order to get the same results.

How white will my teeth get?

KöR Whitening lightens teeth dramatically, up to 16 shades or more. Although everyone is different, with the proper KöR Whitening System, nearly all teeth will have stunning results. KöR even whitens tetracycline-stained teeth significantly, which was previously thought to be impossible!

Will my teeth look too white and unnatural?

No, this whitening system will not leave your teeth looking unnatural, it will only enhance the whiteness of your teeth leaving you with a much brighter smile. With KöR Whitening you’ll get the ideal shade that’s right for you. Will my crowns, veneers or fillings whiten too? No, unfortunately whitening does not have an effect on any fixed restoration (crowns, bridges, veneers, fillings).

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

With your easy home maintenance, these staining foods will have no effect on the long-term 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?

KöR-Seal whitening trays are very different. They’re comfortable – because they’re thin and form-fitting, you’ll probably forget they’re even in your mouth. They’re convenient –  by wearing these only 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.

How does the KöR Whitening system work?

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