If you’ve been craving a brilliantly white smile, you’ve probably already tried whitening toothpaste or strips from the drugstore. Maybe you got some results, but nothing that really made a difference. At Crossroads Dental, Dr. Amy Farmer uses the KöR system for dental office teeth whitening.
KöR whitening gels are kept refrigerated from the moment they’re made until Dr. Farmer uses them on your teeth. This keeps the ingredients nice and potent, ready to work when you are. You get even results across all your teeth without those hot spots other whitening methods sometimes leave behind. Other systems use lasers or lights. Some of these can make your teeth hurt.
KöR can handle stains that other whitening systems just can’t touch. Coffee stains, wine, smoking, and discoloration from medications. Even tetracycline stains, which most dentists consider permanent. The system can whiten your teeth up to 16 shades. This is because the DIY products contain a tiny fraction of the whitening agents. And Dr. Farmer has the license to use the most powerful prescription-strength agents.
A lot of people worry about tooth sensitivity after whitening. It’s a fair concern since some whitening treatments can leave your teeth aching for days. KöR uses a desensitizer that helps keep your teeth from getting sensitive during and after treatment.
Before she approves any whitening treatment, Dr. Farmer checks to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for it. Also, these benefits:
An in-office KöR session takes less than an hour. You’re in and out quickly. Some people come in on their lunch break and head right back to work after. In for an hour, out with a dazzling smile. Dr. Farmer tells you exactly what to expect based on your specific staining. No need to block off your whole afternoon.
Not everyone’s a candidate for KöR whitening. Dr. Farmer needs to get a look at your teeth first to see what’s going on. If you’ve got cavities or gum issues, she’s going to want to take care of that first. Certain dental work, like crowns or veneers, won’t whiten the same way natural teeth do. That’s something to keep in mind. Dr. Farmer can look at your situation and tell you if KöR’s going to work for you.
