Teeth Whitening
Teeth will darken over time. Changes in the color of your teeth can be caused by anything from the food and beverages consumed (like coffee, tea, and soda), childhood medications or illnesses, tobacco use, trauma, and, of course, improper oral hygiene. For those who are looking for a brighter and whiter smile, the teeth whitening services at our Clintonville office are designed to remove discoloration from years of stains that have built up on your teeth. Our teeth whitening treatments can give you back the fresh, white smile that you’ve been missing. We provide several options for teeth whitening and will make recommendations on a case by case basis.
Tooth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.
Because having whiter teeth has now become the number one aesthetic concern of most patients, there are a number of ways to whiten teeth. The most popular method is using a home tooth whitening system that will whiten teeth dramatically. Since tooth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings, crowns, etc. Replacement of any restorations will be done after bleaching so they will match the newly bleached teeth.
Tooth whitening is not permanent. A touch-up may be needed every several years, and more often if you smoke, drink coffee, tea, or wine.
Reasons for tooth whitening:
Fluorosis (excessive fluoridation during tooth development).
Normal wear of the outer tooth layer.
Stained teeth due to medications (tetracycline, etc.).
Yellow, brown stained teeth.
What does tooth whitening involve?
We’re proud to offer our patients the KöR Whitening system. This type of tooth whitening usually requires two visits. At the first appointment, impressions (molds) will be made of your teeth to fabricate custom, clear plastic trays.
At your second appointment, you will try on the trays for proper fit, and adjustments will be made if necessary. The trays are worn with a special whitening solution either twice a day for 30 minutes or overnight for a couple of weeks depending on the degree of staining and desired level of whitening. It is normal to experience tooth sensitivity during the time you are whitening your teeth, but it will subside shortly after you have stopped bleaching.
The KöR Whitening System
After Whitening
Before Whitening
Developed by internationally renowned cosmetic dentist and bleaching expert, Dr. Rod Kurthy, the KöR Whitening System is used by thousands of dentists worldwide and is widely considered to be the most reliable and effective whitening system ever developed.
The KöR Whitening system has proven to consistently produce whiter, brighter smiles in patients. In fact, the KöR system is so effective, it is the only recognized whitening system that whitens tetracycline-stained (dark) teeth in a short time (previously considered impossible). And due to its advanced formulation and continuous refrigeration of the whitening gels, there's little to no sensitivity during the whitening process.
The Unique KöR-Seal Trays
A key to the effectiveness of the KöR system are the unique KöR-Seal™ trays used for at-home whitening. These trays are made of thin clear flexible vinyl and are carefully fabricated to fit precisely to your teeth. Most patients find these trays extremely comfortable to wear and have no trouble sleeping with them. These unique KöR-Seal trays allow room for bleaching gel to be kept in contact with the teeth, and they seal at the gum line so that gel is not diluted, or washed away, by saliva. This ensures the maximum whitening results.
And the KöR Whitening System is perfect for patients of all ages, including teenagers and baby boomers.
How Does KöR Whitening Work?
The KöR Whitening System works by restoring your teeth’s ability to absorb oxygen. The oxygen from KöR’s whitening gel is absorbed deeply into your teeth, dissolving all stain molecules, leaving your teeth incredibly white. And KöR Whitening products have been clinically proven safe on thousands of patients without harming teeth or gums.
The KöR Whitening System is a safe, effective, and convenient cosmetic dentistry procedure that can improve the appearance of teeth to restore self-esteem and self-confidence.
So, if you're too embarrassed to smile, have dark-stained teeth, or just simply want a whiter smile, the KöR Whitening System offers the best in whitening science, and is by far the best whitening system available today.
