The team at Triad Dentistry is dedicated to ensuring patients have access to solutions that can brighten and whiten their smiles, which is why we have invested in systems such as the KoR whitening system. With KoR whitening, patients in and around Greensboro, North Carolina, can enjoy whiter teeth conveniently. Let’s look at some frequently asked questions about teeth bleaching services available at our office.
KoR whitening is a specific system that uses professional-strength whitening gels to brighten natural tooth enamel. We offer take-home KoR whitening trays and gels to allow our patients to whiten their smiles in the privacy of their own homes. KoR whitening is effective at getting intrinsic and extrinsic stains from the natural tooth enamel.
The typical side effects of expert teeth whitening include discomfort in the gums and heightened sensitivity in the teeth. This discomfort often arises from excessive use of whitening gel in your at-home whitening trays. You can dodge this inconvenience by strictly adhering to the advised amount of professional whitening gel. The gel should be applied just enough to cover your teeth’s front without extending to your gums. Long-term exposure of your gums to the gel may lead to soreness, so using the trays as directed by your dentist is critical to ensure the best possible results and reduced risk of side effects.
This varies for patients and largely depends on factors such as the frequency of their whitening sessions and the potency of the solution employed.
During our process of crafting personalized trays, we conduct a brief interview to understand your dental history and sensitivity levels. If you are prone to sensitive teeth or have had sensitivity issues with teeth whitening previously, we might suggest using a gentler whitening gel or an alternative formula that might be available.
There are also products available that help minimize sensitivity caused by the whitening process, and we’d be happy to discuss these with you. We always advocate starting slowly and monitoring your reaction to professional teeth whitening. Should you experience gum irritation or teeth sensitivity to cold, we recommend taking a break for a few days to alleviate the discomfort.
Our dentists at Triad Dentistry understand that a whiter, brighter smile gives patients the confidence they need to interact with others in social situations. If you are unhappy with the staining and discoloration of your teeth, we invite you to call our office to learn more about professional bleaching solutions.
