Are all teeth whitening methods created equal?
The teeth whitening field is full of so many choices; how could you ever make a decision?! It is important to note that not all deliver the same results or are equally safe. Over-the-counter products, such as whitening strips, pastes, pens, and DIY TikTok trends may offer convenience but often provide limited and short-lived results. Worse yet, they can cause tooth sensitivity and gum irritation when left in the hands of an inexperienced user.
Avoid being swayed by the marketing of over-the-counter whitening products. Professional teeth whitening is the safest and most effective option for whitening your teeth. This option is performed under the supervision of a trained dental team and uses high-quality, studied, and cleared-for-use whitening agents that achieve transformative, lasting results.
Despite the numerous options, professional in-office whitening remains the gold standard for achieving the best and safest outcomes. It’s also tailored to your dental health and cosmetic goals.
What causes tooth discoloration?
There are many factors. The most common among these are consumption of staining substances (coffee, tea, colas, tobacco, red wine), forceful trauma to a tooth, a tooth nerve dying, and old restorations. During tooth formation, the use of certain medicines (like tetracycline) can also cause tooth discoloration.
What about whitening toothpastes?
Almost every toothpaste helps remove surface stains through the action of mild abrasives. Teeth Whitening toothpastes have special chemical or polishing abrasive agents that provide additional stain removal effectiveness. Unlike bleaching, however, these products cannot alter the intrinsic color of your teeth. Furthermore, we do not recommend their use because they are often overly abrasive. This means prolonged use can actually cause enamel loss, gum recession, and sensitivity and wear of exposed root surface along the gum line.
What is the KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ System?
Nashville Restorative Dentistry utilizes the KöR teeth whitening system, known for its exceptional effectiveness in erasing even the darkest discolorations previously thought impossible to remove. KöR restores the teeth’s ability to absorb oxygen, dissolving stain molecules.
Although everyone is different, KöR can brighten your teeth up to 16 shades! The following is what sets KöR apart from other teeth-whitening systems.
- Continuous refrigeration: KöR is one of the few whitening systems in which the whitening gels are continuously refrigerated from the moment they’re manufactured until they’re applied to your teeth. Keeping the gels cold during shipping and storage preserves their potency and freshness when applied to your teeth.
- Tight seal: KöR-Seal™ trays are super-thin and form-fitting, providing comfort in the mouth. Besides, KöR trays have a tight seal that prevents saliva contamination. Why does this matter? Conventional whitening methods are only active for 20-25 minutes because saliva rapidly dilutes the solution. KöR-Seal™ trays combine with clinical-grade whitening gels to provide 6-10 hours of whitening activity!
- Minimal discomfort: KöR whitening gel is chemically activated, so you don’t need lasers or lights that always cause tooth sensitivity. Additionally, KöR comes with a desensitizer that provides immediate closure of open dentinal tubules to reduce sensitivity. Ultimately, KöR teeth whitening generates stunning results with optimized comfort.
We fabricate KöR whitening trays after taking digital scans of your teeth. Most patients use these trays at home for two weeks to achieve the desired results. For those with more challenging beginning tooth shades, we sometimes follow up the at-home period with a round or two of an in-office application of an even stronger KöR whitening solution. Not all teeth whiten as well as others. Yellow and brown stained teeth tend to bleach well, while blue and gray-hued teeth aren’t whitened as easily. Bondings and crowns can also cause challenges as the materials they are made from don’t bleach, leaving them the same drab color while your shiny white teeth brighten around them.
Ready to transform your smile with KöR teeth whitening?
While teeth whitening is simple, sometimes it can be frustrating, uncomfortable, and unpredictable. Have you ever experienced a letdown between what’s promised and what’s delivered? How about extreme sensitivity after whitening? This often happens when you opt for conventional whitening methods. You can trust KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ System when you want safe and long-lasting whitening results.
