Introduction to KöR Teeth Whitening

In our Greenwich Village dental office, Dr. Keith Bracy utilizes KöR Whitening for exceptionally white teeth and consistent results. Professional teeth whitening is a fun and safe cosmetic dental procedure that can take years off your appearance and improve your confidence in just one dentist visit.

The market for teeth whitening products has grown exponentially; you might have already tried common teeth whitening products like Crest Whitestrips or Zoom! Whitening. Many patients report disappointing results, which is why Dr. Bracy specializes in the best teeth whitening system, KöR.

Teeth whitening is a booming industry, as you can witness when you walk down the beauty section of your grocery store. The problem with in-store teeth whitening kits is their inefficiency; they simply are not potent enough to make a noticeable difference. Even worse, some contain abrasive ingredients that destroy your enamel and ultimately make your teeth look worse than before. Don't waste your time and money on products that won't work. The only way to really whiten your teeth is through professional whitening treatment. 

Call us at 212-390-8399 or click on one of the appointment booking options above to schedule a complimentary KöR Whitening consultation in Greenwich Village.

Why KöR Whitening?

Dr. Bracy is a top Greenwich Village KöR Whitening provider and only uses KöR due to consistent results. The KöR teeth whitening system is reliable because of the continuously refrigerated, high-potency teeth bleach applied using scientific protocols.

Every step of the KöR process is highly detailed to ensure the whitest shade of teeth. There are no gimmicky lights or abrasive charcoal whitening toothpaste to apply. Instead, you'll find a meticulous process to produce exceptional results.

The KöR Whitening Process in NYC

First, Dr. Bracy will select the KöR Whitening protocol that best fits your unique needs during your complimentary KöR Whitening consultation.

 The whitening systems vary by the amount of at-home applications and in-office treatments you receive. We will go over your current and desired teeth shades using a shade guide. Next, photos of your teeth will be taken so that you can track the “before” and “after” results. 

Then, Dr. Bracy will take impressions of your teeth using a proprietary method called the KöR Bite-Down technique that ensures accurate teeth molds. Next, we will send your impressions to the KöR laboratory where they will make custom KöR-seal whitening trays. The trays are fabricated in painstaking detail by technicians specializing in the best-sealed whitening trays. The accuracy of the dental impression and whitening tray are integral for optimum teeth whitening. Any slight error or loose fit will allow saliva to get into the tray and dilute the teeth whitening bleach.

Your highly potent KöR teeth bleach gel and custom whitening trays will arrive by overnight, refrigerated shipping to our Greenwich Village dental office. Using fresh KöR teeth bleach and refrigerated shipping is crucial since time and heat hinder the efficacy of the teeth bleach. Dr. Bracy will deliver your whitening trays and start you on your whitening protocol, depending on the KöR system selected.

Most cases involve two weeks of at-home teeth whitening and then one in-office whitening session. However, tetracycline and more complicated cases will be prescribed a different application protocol. The method of application will be reviewed thoroughly with Dr. Bracy since this affects the whitening results.

After you complete your whitening protocol, you’ll finally have the white teeth you’ve always wanted. A maintenance protocol consisting of at-home “touch-up” sessions will ensure your results are long-lasting and permanent. We will work with you to make sure you get the shade you want as comfortably as possible.

KoR teeth whitening | greenwich village | new york Will My Teeth Be Sensitive from KöR Whitening?

Most patients report minimal discomfort and sensitivity when using KöR. The system comes with a proprietary desensitizing agent that is applied daily to your teeth. Dr. Bracy also recommended patients use Sensodyne toothpaste for two weeks before starting their professional teeth whitening.

I Have Tetracycline Stains. Will KöR Work?

Yes, there is a KöR Whitening protocol for tetracycline stained teeth, and it does work! Many patients with tetracycline stained teeth have been told than dental veneers are the only option to improve the shade of the teeth. These patients are pleased that they decided to use KöR as an alternative cosmetic dental treatment option. Professional teeth whitening is a safe and easy way to get quick results without altering the surface or shape of your teeth. 

What about Laser Teeth Whitening and Blue Lights I Used in My Past Whitening?

You might have experienced a bright, blue light held over your teeth during a past Zoom! Whitening, or saw a snap of your friend on social media whitening their teeth with a blue light. Maybe you overheard someone in Greenwich Village, raving about laser teeth whitening. While the blue light looks impressive and fancy, Dr. Bracy can confidently inform you no lights and lasers are needed, and these are mostly marketing gimmicks and dental myths.

Many “laser” teeth whitening sessions do not even use a laser at all, but a weak blue light. Teeth whitening product manufacturers continue to promote these lights because they look “cool” and provide another reason that justifies the price of the whitening system. Many dentists continue to use such lights because they either do not know better or because patients demand them. Most research studies (not subsided or done by teeth whitening companies) do not support the use of whitening lights.

The light may increase the speed of whitening reaction, but does not help to achieve better whitening results, and they may cause extra sensitivity and damage to the tooth or surrounding gum tissue. The American Dental Association (ADA) Statement on the Safety and Efficacy of Tooth Whitening Products also clearly informs the public that research does not show any additional benefits of a light-activated whitening system. Dr. Bracy’s mission is to provide you with the most honest, straightforward dental advice; he does not use or endorse light-activated teeth systems because it is not supported by research.

teeth whitening | professional whitening | greenwich village Yes! Dr. Bracy offers two new treatments for the appearance of white spots on your teeth. The first is a revolutionary new treatment called Icon by DMG. The second treatment is the KöR Whitening System. First, it is essential to have your white spots diagnosed in our Chelsea, New York dental office. The diagnosis will dictate the white spot treatment method. The majority of teeth white spots are either an incipient cavity or fluorosis. Dr. Bracy can explain these technical terms for you further during a consult, but keep reading to learn more about white spots and some helpful solutions. 

Icon by DMG America

Icon by DMG is a revolutionary new treatment for white spots caused by incipient cavities. An incipient cavity is the very start of the cavity formation process or when decay first starts growing on a tooth. The white spot seen is demineralized tooth structure or an area where decay starts eating away at the enamel. Many people have these white spots on their front teeth and don’t pay attention to them because they have had them for a long time. Others are more worried about them and want to do something to remove them. You might also have the same white spots and enamel demineralization after traditional metal braces treatment. Icon works by infiltrating the white spot and reversing it, so you gain back your natural tooth look! It is a very easy process and involves no drilling and no needles. During the Icon treatment, Dr. Bracy will place agents on the tooth. The result is a healthier and better-looking tooth! DMG Icon treatment is also relatively less expensive than other cosmetic treatments, such as porcelain veneers. The fee is comparable to a dental filling, and sometimes your insurance can provide coverage for it. 

KöR Teeth Whitening

KöR Whitening is an excellent method if your white spots are from fluorosis. This condition can appear as white streaks and opaque spots on the enamel. Sometimes there are areas of brown within the white spots. Fluorosis occurs when the adult teeth took up too much fluoride during development. Many notice this condition in their teen years, after adult teeth eruption, and are unaware of a treatment to improve the looks of it. KöR Whitening is an excellent treatment option for challenging fluorosis cases. It will break down the stain molecules and make the unsightly white spots blend in with the rest of the tooth. KöR Whitening is an excellent option and is more affordable than other cosmetic treatments for patients with this condition. Stop by our West Village dental office for a complimentary KöR Whitening consultation and also see some before and after pics of fluorosis teeth treated with KöR. 

No. Dr. Bracy does not advise the use of either product. Why? Because there is no scientific evidence to demonstrate the safety or claims these products make. Both charcoal toothpaste and coconut oil pulling have emerged on social media and the internet as a way to whiten teeth and promote overall oral health.teeth whitening | greenwich village ny

A September 2017 literature review by the American Dental Association of charcoal and charcoal-based dentifrices states the facts. In a review of 118 scholarly articles and studies on charcoal toothpaste and charcoal-based oral care products, none showed sufficient evidence of any therapeutic effect, including whitening, detoxification effects, or reduced cavities. Safety of the products was also not demonstrated. Furthermore, enamel abrasion and wear is a real concern with these types of charcoal toothpaste. The same is true for coconut oil pulling and rinses. Check out the ADA website to read about the lack of any evidence that supports using coconut oil in your mouth.

If you are interested in , ditch the charcoal toothpaste and save the coconut oil for your sweet potatoes. Embrace science and ask Dr. Bracy about the KöR Teeth Whitening. The KöR system provides consistently exceptional whitening results even for patients with tetracycline stained teeth or fluorosis.

Most patients do a KöR maintenance about every 6 months or after their regular dental cleanings. Dr. Bracy will provide you with KöR refill teeth bleach after your initial whitening is completed.

KöR teeth whitening is a fun, safe, and conservative cosmetic dental treatment, relative to veneers or crowns. Many of our dental patients do a course of Invisalign treatment followed by KöR teeth whitening for the most natural-looking straight, white teeth. The costs of Invisalign treatment combined with KöR teeth whitening is less than porcelain veneers on your front teeth, and the results are better since the look is more “natural”.
