Ready to whiten your teeth?

Your smile is one of the first things people notice and the best tool for welcoming others into your life. A vibrant and bright smile is so vital in enhancing a patient’s confidence and demeanor, which is why teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic procedure performed by Smile Standard. From special events like weddings, reunions, and prom, to meaningful milestones like getting one’s braces off, whitening is a procedure that is meant for everyone!  Drs. Mattern and Subramanian want to deliver the most effective and predictable whitening treatment available and that is why KoR whitening is their top choice.  KoR whitening is simply a superior formulation and delivery system compared to any other brand on the market today.

For those of you that appreciate the details, keep reading.  Intrinsic tooth color is a result of large natural pigments and stain molecules trapped within the microstructure of teeth.  All peroxide gels work by breaking down into bleaching agents that lighten the teeth.  Optimum whitening results are achieved only when these whitening gels are fully potent and allowed extended time to diffuse thoroughly into the microstructure of the tooth in order to disintegrate the stain molecules. The patented KoR gel not only whitens but cleans your teeth.  KoR gel cleans the debris between and within enamel prisms, effectively rejuvenating enamel back to its youthful white hue. KoR also uses desensitizers that plug the pores of tooth enamel during whitening to lessen sensations of sensitivity before they begin.

KoR has many technical advantages over other whitening systems.  Accordingly to Clinical Research Associates (CRA), standard whitening trays only remain significantly active for 25-35 minutes due to contamination and dilution from saliva.  The KoR-Seal™ trays are designed specifically to seal the whitening trays against saliva and other fluids. This gives the KoR system 6 to 10 hours of whitening activity, compared to just 25-35 minutes with traditional whitening systems.  In addition to the trays, KoR’s tri-barrel delivery system allows KoR’s more sophisticated Hydremide Peroxide chemistry to be kept separate until immediately prior to use resulting in the gel being at its maximum potency. 

Overall, the KoR whitening system offers revolutionary results that are consistent, predictable, and easy to maintain. Smile Standard is offering $100 of KoR whitening until the end of May so call us today to brighten your smile!

Frequently asked questions about teeth whitening

Is KoR teeth whitening safe?

KoR whitening products have been clinically studied and safely used on millions of people without harm to tooth or gums.  Teeth whitening is considered entirely safe.

Are the results achieved by KoR whitening program permanent?

The results of KoR bleaching are without a doubt permanent if you wear the trays for two consecutive weeks and adhere to the occasional maintenance programs.

Does it matter how old I am?

The ideal age to whiten teeth is 14 years or older because by then, all permanent teeth will have grown in place.  KoR whitening is able to rejuvenate and whiten teeth even for patients that are 90 years old.  During your first appointment, we will check your teeth condition to determine if they are strong enough for the bleaching process.
