Your dentist will help you choose the best solution to reveal the bright smile you crave.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Whitening Treatments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You have more options than ever to reveal a beautiful smile,\nlike over-the-counter whitening products. Many of them claim to provide the noticeable\nresults you want; however, most won\u2019t meet your expectations because they don\u2019t\ncontain professional grade whitening agents. As a result, they can only\ntemporarily lighten surface stains. If you want to achieve drastic results that\nlast, you\u2019ll need the help of your dentist. Don\u2019t worry, here are 2 convenient\noptions to revamp your smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In-Office Teeth Whitening<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional in-office whitening treatments use lights and\nlasers to treat tooth discoloration, but there is another solution. Many\ndentists prefer Kor products because they use a different approach. A\ndual-activated whitening agent is applied to your teeth in your dental office\nto get your teeth as much as 16 shades brighter after just one treatment. A\ngingival barrier is used to prevent any irritation to your soft tissues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">At-Home Teeth Whitening<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can achieve in-office results from the comfort of your\nown home. After an initial consultation, you\u2019re provided custom-fit whitening\ntrays containing a highly concentrated solution that\u2019s refrigerated to enhance\nyour results. You\u2019ll use the kit every night for 2-3 weeks depending on your\ntreatment plan. Once you\u2019ve completed your series, your teeth will be as much\nas 16 shades brighter for a revitalized smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Kor Whitening Treatments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many effective whitening systems available, but\npatients and dentists prefer Kor whitening treatments. The unique formula\nallows Kor to provide results that aren\u2019t possible with other options. Various\nwhitening treatments promise an improvement of up to 8 shades, but Kor offers\ntwice the results because it encourages your enamel to absorb oxygen. As a\nresult, it\u2019s more effective for removing deep stains, even those caused by tetracycline\nuse. The gel is also refrigerated from the time the trays are made until they\nare used. The constant refrigeration allows the chemicals to remain the correct\nbalance for optimal results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get a Bright Smile Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need to let dark tooth discoloration and stains\ndull your confidence any longer.
