Teeth Whitening

What does teeth whitening involve?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of your smile by removing stains and discoloration. At Kalemi Dental P.C., we use the advanced KöR™ whitening system to achieve exceptional results. Unlike over-the-counter products, KöR provides long-lasting whitening effects, working for up to 10 hours to ensure a brilliant smile.

How does KöR teeth whitening work?

The KöR system utilizes a peroxide-based gel solution to effectively lift and eliminate deep stains within the teeth. Unlike other methods that rely on lasers or lights, KöR is safe and gentle on your teeth and eyes. Custom trays are used to prevent saliva from interfering with the whitening process, ensuring even distribution of the gel for optimal results. Additionally, KöR helps rejuvenate enamel, further enhancing the whitening effect.

Is teeth whitening suitable for sensitive teeth?

Many individuals experience tooth sensitivity, but with KöR whitening, sensitivity is minimized. The unique formula contains special ingredients that help reduce and prevent sensitivity by sealing microscopic pores in the teeth. These pores, known as dentinal tubules, often contribute to sensitivity when exposed to traditional whitening products. However, KöR effectively seals these tubules during treatment, ensuring a comfortable experience.

How many teeth whitening sessions are needed?

Results may vary depending on individual factors such as tooth structure and lifestyle habits. While KöR provides long-lasting whitening effects, occasional touch-ups may be necessary to maintain your desired shade. Our team at the Astoria office can advise on the frequency of touch-up sessions based on your specific needs.
