Teeth Whitening

While most teeth whitening treatments focus on correcting stains on the teeth’s upper layers, KöR is different. Instead, it focuses on removing deep stains and pigments formed under the teeth.

A safe alternative to laser whitening procedures, KöR is a popular whitening kit that utilizes both custom trays and in-office treatments. The custom trays are custom fitted for your teeth by your dentist at 83rd Marketplace Dental Care.

At home, before bedtime and using your custom whitening tray you'll clean your teeth and then apply a desensitizer to your teeth for the first two nights to prevent any discomfort or sensitivity. After that dries, you'll apply the whitening gel to your teeth so your teeth can gently whiten overnight. In the morning, you'll remove your trays and brush your teeth to remove any remaining gel. Once your teeth are cleaned, you'll rinse your trays with room temperature water, dry them off, and then place them in their case until the next time you use them.

Laser teeth whitening is administered in a dental office exclusively and is the most expensive method for bleaching. Generally, all forms of teeth whitening work by releasing oxygen ions from a tooth whitening gel, which gently lifts stains from the teeth. This is because the laser simply lifts the stains faster. Another advantage of using a laser is that (depending on the type used) it allows the dentist to bleach one tooth at a time. This is helpful when one tooth is more discolored than the surrounding teeth.
