Teeth Whitening with KöR
Professional Whitening at Home
Weddings, job interviews, first dates, and graduations are all special events where people want to look and feel their best. Many people get whitening treatments for these special occasions, but how would you like to get a brighter smile that really lasts? That’s what you get with KöR, and the process is surprisingly simple.
Your Smile is Important to You
Your smile is one of your most noticeable features, and nothing makes a good first impression like a bright, beautiful smile. According to one survey, almost half the people said that a smile is a person’s most memorable feature when you meet them for the first time.
When you’re feeling self-conscious about your smile, it can have a negative effect on your self-esteem. Many people hide their smile because they’re concerned about their dingy, yellow teeth. That’s why our dentists in Jackson proudly feature home whitening treatments from KöR.
How it Works
Let’s take a look at the step-by-step process of how KöR whitening works at home.
The Science of Whitening
You might have tried over the counter whitening treatments in the past, but KöR products are different. They apply the science of whitening to achieve phenomenal results.
Here’s how it works:
- After you leave Tharp & Klaus Dental Clinic, place your KöR Teeth Whitening gel in the refrigerator.
- Before bedtime, brush and floss your teeth.
- In your custom whitening trays, apply a small dot on each tooth.
- Place the whitening trays on your teeth and gently press to disperse the whitening gel.
- When you awake, remove the trays and rinse with water – also take your toothbrush and remove the excess whitening gel.
- Repeat this process every night for two weeks or your desired shade is achieved. It’s ok to skip a night or two if your teeth become sensitive after a few days.
After treatment is finished, your KöR Teeth Whitening can last a lifetime, with minimal maintenance every few weeks to maintain the tooth shade.
What Causes Your Teeth to Turn Yellow?
Contrary to popular opinion, people who practice good dental hygiene can still have discolored teeth. Even if you’re brushing and flossing every day, there are other factors that can cause your teeth to lose their shine.
A common cause of discoloration is diet, as several of the foods and beverages we consume every day can stain your teeth. For example, coffee, wine, tea, and berries have ingredients that can cause your smile to lose its shine.
There are additional circumstances that can diminish the luster of your smile. The natural effects of aging and certain prescription medications can alter the color of your teeth.
Smoking is particularly detrimental for your smile. In addition to making your teeth turn yellow or brown, smoking also causes tooth decay, gum disease, and many types of oral cancer. Physical trauma such as a blow to the face is another thing that can lead to tooth discoloration.
Are Yellow Teeth Preventable?
There are some natural ways to help prevent teeth from turning yellow. Avoiding foods that stain teeth is a great way to start. But since most adults won’t want to avoid things like coffee, wine, tea, pasta sauce, balsamic vinegar, berries, and curry, this method is not always realistic.
Brushing and flossing twice a day will also help your teeth stay white. Always do your best to protect teeth from trauma, which may involve wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth or a mouth guard if you play sports.
Of course, it’s possible to do all of these things and still have discolored teeth because of genetics. Aging is also a contributing factor, as the internal, living tissue of the tooth ages naturally and becomes discolored over time. The best solution for this issue is to use a permanent teeth whitening system.
What Makes the KöR Whitening System Permanent?
Unlike other teeth whitening methods, the Kör system is able to fully restore teeth with their youthful ability to absorb bleaching factors. This is done by allowing pigments and stain molecules to be fully flooded 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 keeping your teeth nice and white.
