Teeth bleaching products brighten teeth that have been stained or darkened by food, tobacco use, age or injury. There are a variety of in-office and take-home teeth whitening products to reduce or eliminate such stains.
Various "at-home" products are featured in the teeth-whitening industry, such as whitening toothpastes and bleaching strips. Although based on the same science as professional bleaching, the bleaching strips' concentrations tend to be much lower than in commercial products, thus leading to a lower risk of toxicity but longer duration of treatment. Typical kits require nightly use of the product for one to two weeks until desired results are obtained, as opposed to a one hour visit to the dentist. The toothpastes generally contain special minerals designed to erode the colored food particles and stains on the tooth surface during daily brushing; toothpaste does not alter the intrinsic shade of the teeth whatsoever.
The ZOOM!® chairside whitening system is a safe, effective and fast way to brighten your teeth in a single office visit. The ZOOM! procedure is much more convenient than wearing trays or strips, making it a great choice for our busy patients.
ZOOM! is done in the office during one visit lasting 1-2 hours. At your appointment we apply a gentle, hydrogen peroxide-based whitening gel to your teeth. The gel is then exposed to a high-intensity light. After the treatment, your teeth will be up to 6-10 shades whiter.
Dentist-supervised whitening is one of the safest and most conservative cosmetic dental treatments available. The most common side effect is an increased tooth sensitivity to cold for 1-3 days after treatment.

KöR Deep Bleaching is a revolutionary new whitening treatment that permanently improves the color of the teeth with a bleaching gel that restores the teeth's ability to absorb oxygen for stunning results.
Developed by Dr. Rod Kurthy, this advanced system can be performed on nearly any patient unhappy with the color of their teeth. Effective results have been achieved for patients ranging from 14 to 90 years old.
The KöR Deep Bleaching process involves the creation of customized molds fit to your teeth that help ensure patient comfort during bleaching. Bleaching trays are worn only while you sleep every night for two weeks. Because they are custom-made for each patient, the bleaching trays are comfortable and do not interfere with your day, while also sealing the bleach inside the tray to prevent spills.
Most patients will not experience any pain or discomfort during this treatment, unlike the side effects sometimes associated with other bleaching treatments. The trays are custom-fit for each patient’s mouth, and the gel is composed of materials that practically eliminate any risk of sensitivity.
After treatment, patients often experience whitening of 16 shades or more, producing stunning yet natural-looking results. The results of KöR Deep Bleaching are permanent as long as patients keep up with their at-home maintenance care. Even staining substances such as coffee, tea, smoking or red wine will not alter the color of your teeth.
