What Is KöR Whitening?
KöR Whitening is a convenient and effective way to achieve a brighter, whiter smile. Unlike over-the-counter whitening products, KöR Whitening treatment is designed and supervised by Dr. Murphy to ensure your safety and achieve optimal results. We use custom-fitted KöR-Seal™ trays in combination with KöR whitening gel to brighten your smile. Most patients see dramatic results with just one treatment.
Benefits of KöR Whitening
Dramatic Whitening In About an Hour
KöR Whitening uses a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide-based whitening agents than drugstore options. This translates to noticeable, even dramatic results with just one application.
Custom-Fitted KöR-Seal™ for Optimal Results
Unlike one-size-fits-all strips, KöR Whitening involves creating customized whitening trays that seal out saliva and other fluids that can weaken the whitening gel. Dr. Murphy will take digital impressions of your teeth to design trays perfect for your unique smile.
With these special trays, we can ensure an even application of the whitening gel and maximize contact with the tooth surface for consistent whitening across all teeth. Because your KöR-Seal trays are made just for you, they fit your teeth perfectly to keep saliva from mixing with the gel and lowering the concentration of whitening agents, ensuring you get the most out of your treatment.
Safer Whitening Under Dental Supervision
By opting for KöR Whitening, you benefit from Dr. Murphy’s expertise. She can assess your suitability for whitening, considering factors like pre-existing dental work or gum sensitivity. She can also guide proper application and address any concerns you may have before, during and after treatment. This professional oversight minimizes the risk of poor results or complications.
Long-Lasting Results with Proper Care
KöR Whitening, when coupled with good oral hygiene habits and occasional touch-ups, can deliver results that last for several years. Dr. Murphy will send you home with everything you need to maintain your whiter smile and advise you on proper brushing, flossing, and dietary recommendations to minimize future staining.
A Brighter Smile Is an Amazing Confidence Booster
A brighter, whiter smile can significantly enhance your confidence and self-esteem. KöR Whitening is a reliable and effective way to achieve noticeable results that can positively impact your overall well-being and social interactions.
Ultimate Convenience
Most patients only need one in-office KöR Whitening treatment to get the results they want. That means a dramatically whiter smile in about an hour. How convenient is that! At-home whitening can take two weeks to get results.
Cost Effective
While the upfront cost of KöR Whitening might seem higher than drugstore options, it can be more cost effective in the long run. Store-bought products require frequent repurchases to achieve minimal results and maintain them. KöR Whitening can last several years with proper care. Additionally, dentist supervision helps prevent complications like increased sensitivity and gum irritation.
Who Qualifies for Professional KöR Whitening?
Dr. Murphy chose KöR Whitening for her Southwest Montana dental practice because it’s suitable for patients in good oral health with minimal dental work who are seeking to address staining or discoloration caused by factors like aging, coffee, tea, or smoking.
What to Expect with KöR Whitening
- Consultation: Before being approved for KöR Whitening, you’ll have an initial consultation with your Bozeman cosmetic dentist, during which, Dr. Murphy will assess the condition of your teeth and discuss your whitening goals. She’ll provide you with a personalized recommendation for the best whitening solution, taking into account your needs and preferences.
- Custom Tray Design: Once you’ve decided to proceed with KöR Whitening, Dr. Murphy will take digital impressions of your teeth to create your custom-fitted KöR Seal trays.
- Whitening Treatment: Once your KöR Seal trays are ready, you’ll come in for another appointment to receive treatment under Dr. Murphy’s supervision. The total treatment time is usually about 45 minutes to an hour. You’ll be monitored the entire time to ensure your comfort and safety.
KöR Whitening Aftercare
Once you’ve achieved your desired level of whiteness, it’s essential to maintain your results. Here are some tips from the team at Bozeman Gentle Dentistry
- Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss your teeth regularly to keep your smile looking its best.
- Avoid Staining Foods and Beverages: Limit your consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco products and other substances that can discolor your teeth.
- Schedule Regular Dental Cleanings: Professional cleanings at Bozeman Gentle Dentistry remove any built-up plaque and tartar that can stain teeth.
- Touch Up As Needed: Dr. Murphy will advise you on how often you’ll need touch-ups to keep your teeth gleaming.
- Protect Your Investment: Wear a custom mouthguard if you grind your teeth or participate in contact sports to prevent damage to your newly whitened smile.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do the results from KöR Whitening last?
The longevity of your whitening results can vary, but with proper maintenance, you can typically expect to enjoy a whiter smile for years.
Does KöR Whitening work on dental restorations?
KöR Whitening generally does not work for teeth with crowns, veneers, or other dental restorations. These materials they consist of are made to resist staining. Conversely, they will not lighten with whitening treatment like natural teeth will.
Is there any discomfort or sensitivity associated with KöR Whitening?
Some patients may experience mild tooth sensitivity after KöR Whitening treatment, but this is usually temporary.
Is the cost of KöR Whitening covered by insurance?
Dental insurance typically doesn’t cover teeth whitening because it’s considered cosmetic. However, check your plan, as there are some rare exceptions. It’s always best to confirm with your insurance provider directly.
