Many factors can contribute to tooth discoloration. Here are some of the most common causes:
Kör is an outpatient whitening process designed to make teeth whitening convenient and effective. Unlike other teeth whitening methods, the Kör system can fully restore teeth to their natural color thanks to their ability to absorb bleaching factors. This is done by allowing pigments and stain molecules to be fully flooded out by bleaching factors.
As a result, stain molecules are broken down into small colorless and white particles. This allows you to enjoy all of your favorite foods and beverages while maintaining your teeth’s vibrant color.
You might have tried over-the-counter whitening treatments in the past, waiting hours for sub-par results, only for the treatment to last for a few months. KöR products are different, as results appear swiftly and can last a lifetime.
Here’s how it works:
While some patients may experience temporary sensitivity during treatment, KöR whitening is specifically formulated to minimize discomfort compared to other professional whitening systems. The refrigerated gel maintains its potency while being gentler on teeth, and the gradual at-home process allows your teeth to adjust slowly. If you do experience sensitivity, we can recommend desensitizing toothpaste or adjust your treatment schedule. Most sensitivity subsides within 24-48 hours after completing treatment.
KöR whitening only affects natural tooth enamel and won’t change the color of existing crowns, veneers, fillings, or other dental restorations. If you have visible dental work, we’ll evaluate whether whitening is appropriate for your situation. In some cases, we may recommend whitening your natural teeth first, then replacing visible restorations to match your new brighter shade. We’ll discuss all options during your consultation to ensure you achieve a uniform, beautiful result.
KöR whitening offers several advantages over other professional systems. While in-office treatments like Zoom provide immediate results, KöR’s combination approach (professional-grade take-home trays plus optional in-office treatment) provides deeper, longer-lasting whitening. The refrigerated gel maintains full potency, and the sealed tray system prevents saliva contamination that can reduce effectiveness. KöR is also the only whitening system that can effectively lighten tetracycline-stained teeth, making it the most versatile option available.
During your two-week whitening period, we recommend avoiding or limiting dark-colored foods and beverages that can stain teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, berries, tomato sauce, and curry. If you do consume staining substances, rinse with water afterward and wait at least an hour before brushing. Smoking or tobacco use should be completely avoided during treatment. After completing your whitening, you can gradually return to your normal diet, though maintaining good oral hygiene and limiting staining substances will help preserve your results longer.
