Patients in San Francisco, CA can schedule an appointment at West Portal Family Dentistry to learn about the benefits of same-day whitening with our KöR professional bleaching system. Brightening the teeth can be done within just a few hours, and continued brightening can be done over the course of several weeks.
KöR is a specialized, professional bleaching system that starts with an in-office power whitening. The treatment is done in about one hour, during which patients will undergo a thorough cleaning of the teeth prior to the procedure. Then, whitening agents pull both extrinsic and intrinsic stains from the enamel. Intrinsic stains are stains that occur inside of the tooth, such as those caused by trauma or medications, while extrinsic stains are those occurring on the outside, typically resulting from dark foods and beverages or habits such as smoking.
After the bleaching has been performed, special trays are made for continued whitening at home. These trays are fabricated using impressions of the upper and lower arches of the teeth. This ensures even and consistent whitening with the professional gels sent home with patients to use with the trays.
In a matter of hours, you could have a completely rejuvenated smile! Drs. Terri Nguyen and Laura Huynh of West Portal Family Dentistry can assess patient smiles to determine if KöR professional deep bleaching is best for their needs. Contact the practice at (415) 604-9292, or visit our friendly staff at 26 West Portal Avenue, Suite #4.
