5 Reasons Professional Dental Whitening Can Transform Your Smile

Professional Dental Whitening in Longmont CO Area

Many people are convinced that the mystic ways of teeth whitening must be some great secret only known by a select few rich and famous. Chances are those folks have tried a few of the thousands of store-bought tooth-whitening products that promised extraordinary results. Unfortunately, those products never live up to their hype, costing consumers billions of dollars. Even though these products seem like a great bargain, they can spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars for lackluster results by the time they try several. This is why leaving your tooth whitening needs to the professionals is important. Our resident tooth-whitening experts at Crossroads Dental include Dr. Amy Farmer and her team. With their talent, they can work magic to transform your smile from dull to mesmerizing in no time!

1. Why Professional Teeth Whitening Is Worth It

With professional teeth whitening, you get an effectiveness that isn’t there with DIY options. Equally important, professional teeth whitening is precise. You’ll never have to worry about uneven patches in your smile. Dentists use advanced technology to get your smile as white as possible.

2. Why Store-Bought Whitening Falls Short

There’s a good reason why store-bought teeth-whitening products don’t measure up — because they legally can’t. By law, these products are only allowed to have hydrogen peroxide concentration of up to 0.1 percent. Anything with a higher concentration must be sold by a dentist, who carries products with hydrogen peroxide concentrations of up to 6 percent. That’s a huge difference. You can spend big bucks on weak tooth whitening treatments with pretty boxes or invest in professional tooth whitening treatments that work.

3. Professional Teeth Whitening Is Safer

With over-the-counter DIY products, you can’t count on it being safe. When you opt for professional teeth whitening, the technicians will protect your gums. Also, the application techniques are controlled.

4. The Science Behind KöR Dental Whitening

The whitening agents found in the treatments we offer reduce most stains through a chemical reaction that alters the color of your teeth. Hydrogen (H202)and Carbide peroxide are the most common bleaching agents used in different concentrations depending on the type of treatments used. We also offer KöR Teeth Whitening, a therapy that can unlock a new brightness level within your smile. KöR can brighten your smile up to 16 shades whiter. The system uses a unique approach to whitening that sets it apart from other treatments. Here’s how:

  • Kept Cool: KöR is among only a few whitening treatments that must be refrigerated until used. Keeping the gel at a low temperature is vital in maintaining its potency, which ensures it’s nearly 100 percent as effective as the day it’s produced.
  • No Lasers Needed: KöR does not use uncomfortable lights or lasers. This specially formulated whitening gel uses chemical activation, which ensures you get the most reliable and consistent results across all your teeth minus the risk of spotty or uneven whitening (a problem more common in many light-based whitening treatments).
  • Sensitive Teeth? No Problem: If your teeth are too sensitive for most whitening treatments, we’ve got great news! KöR provides a special desensitizer that prevents discomfort. You don’t have to worry about bothersome zings or unpleasant sensations while achieving your bright, new smile.
