KOR Teeth Whitening in Midland Park

How It Works

The KOR system is different from traditional whitening systems because it uses something called a Tri-Barrel delivery system. This Tri-Barrel system allows for more whitening agents and ingredients to be mixed together for maximum effectiveness. Other popular treatments like Zoom whitening rely on only a Double-Barrel system.

The difference in result is remarkable–in fact, KOR is able to target incredibly resistant stains that haven’t been a match for past whitening treatments.

With this technology, patients can truly unlock their brightest smile yet. Best of all, the KOR system relies entirely on gel technology, meaning there are no lasers or lights involved, which greatly reduces your chance of feeling any sensitivity or pain from a session.

The Process: Comfortable, Relaxing, and At Home!

What if we told you that you could get superior whitening results from the comfort of your own couch? Now, it’s possible. The first part of the KOR system is visiting us for a consultation and then getting your whitening trays made, which requires taking a custom impression of your mouth.

Then, you can begin the brightening process. For most patients, two weeks of at-home whitening with the KOR gel we provide is perfect for getting the results you’re seeking. For difficult cases, patients may need to visit us for a ‘conditioning’ appointment where we prepare your teeth for whitening, while you can carry out the actual sessions by yourself at home for three to four weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a candidate for this type of appointment?

If you have stained or dull teeth, you might be the perfect candidate to give whitening a try. For best results, it’s important that patients are over the age of 14. It’s also important to remember that dental restorations won’t lighten with KOR, i.e., implants, veneers, etc.

Why does it work so well?

The answer is in the delivery system of the gel! Unlike others, this system allows whitening gel to be absorbed deep within your teeth due to the oxygen in the gel. This helps to dissolve tough stain molecules from a variety of things, including food, medications, and even fluorosis.

Will my teeth be more susceptible to stains in the future after whitening?

Not at all. In fact, with regular at-home KOR maintenance, common staining foods like wine, coffee, and others are no match against your beautifully white smile.

Will my teeth look unnatural?

Not at all. The KOR system is designed to produce whiter, natural looking results in the shade that is perfect for you.

How long will results last?

With proper maintenance, it’s possible that your results will last for years to come.

Will there be any pain throughout the process?

Most patients don’t report any pain or sensitivity with this system. That’s because the use of lasers or lights aren’t required to activate KOR gel, which are commonly thought to be the reason for sensitivity after tooth whitening.

Professional Teeth Whitening in Midland Park Takes Years Off Your Smile

Your teeth lose some of their luster as you get older, but there’s no reason to live a moment longer with a lackluster smile. Teeth whitening in Midland Park is a quick, pain-free, and effective process that shaves years off your smile. Teeth take on surface stains from the foods and beverages you ingest, and as time passes, your tooth enamel becomes discolored and dulled. Make an appointment with a teeth bleaching dentist today to find out more about the teeth whitening process.

What Are the Benefits of Whiter Teeth?

You may think that having your teeth whitened is simply for the sake of your looks, but there is more to it. Sure, it’s a cosmetic procedure that improves your appearance, but teeth whitening also elevates your self-esteem several notches. Whiter teeth make you want to smile more, and when you smile, you feel upbeat. Family, friends, and coworkers respond to your positive vibes too.

A teeth bleaching dentist is your best resource for the most effective results. Chairside teeth whitening is a precision process designed to be painless. The dentist monitors you every step of the way to make sure you get the full benefits of effective tooth bleaching. The teeth whitening products your dentist uses are highly concentrated to produce the most dramatic results. They erase tough food and beverage stains, and discoloration from tobacco use.

During an initial examination, your dentist will identify any problem areas that will not respond to teeth whitening. These may include discoloration that goes deeper than the surface of your teeth, such as those caused by the prescription drug tetracycline. Tooth decay and bad fillings cannot be bleached away either. If you have crowns or veneers on your teeth, they will remain the same color as before the teeth whitening procedure. After whitening, the dentist may be able to touch up any remaining tooth color variations so that your smile looks even better.

Can I Do My Own Teeth Whitening at Home?

Upon request, we can assemble all the items you need to whiten your teeth at home. Your take-home kit includes custom-fit whitening trays that we make from an impression of your teeth, the extra-strength gel we use in the office and detailed instructions. By wearing the gel-filled trays an hour a day over two weeks, you can lighten the tone of your teeth up to six shades. Keep in mind, though, unless you are experienced with the products and process, you may prefer having your tooth bleaching done in our dental office with our experienced staff.

Is the Average Teeth Whitening Cost Affordable?

Just like with any other investment, you should weigh the benefits against the drawbacks to determine if the cost of teeth whitening is reasonable. Most people find bleaching affordable, as shown by the popularity of the process. Until you come in for an exam, we cannot quote a firm price for your procedure due to variables such as the number of treatments you will need and the condition of your teeth. However, after examining your mouth, the dentist will gladly provide an accurate quote for your treatment.

What’s the Difference Between Professional and DIY Teeth Whitening?

When you undergo teeth whitening at your dentist’s office, you get several shades of whitening in a single visit. Due to the powerful bleaching gel we use in a clinical setting, you get more noticeable results too. In contrast, over-the-counter teeth whitening methods typically require a series of whitening sessions over a couple of weeks, and the end result cannot compare to professional treatment.

The Steps in the Teeth Whitening Process

1. Teeth whitening in a dental clinic begins with an oral exam.
2. We typically take photos of your teeth prior to whitening.
3. We position a cheek retractor in your mouth to reveal teeth for whitening.
4. We coat your gums with a liquid protectant to prevent irritation.
5. We place gel-filled bleaching trays on your upper and lower teeth.
6. Once the prescribed time is up, we remove the trays and repeat this step until your teeth are the desired shade.
7. If applicable, we expose your mouth to a special light that enhances bleaching.
8. Afterwards, the dentist evaluates your results, checking for color change and areas that need touch up.
9. We schedule follow-up treatments if necessary.
