Ready to reveal your brightest smile with premier whitening options? At Maven Dentistry, Dr. Benjamin Stogsdill blends modern dental science with a warm, family-focused environment to offer expert teeth whitening in Albuquerque through two standout systems: KöR Whitening and Opalescence Go
What Is KöR Whitening?
KöR is our premium professional whitening system trusted for delivering dramatic, lasting results and tackling even the toughest stains.
Key Benefits of KöR Whitening:
KöR is a revolutionary approach to whitening and is widely regarded as the most effective teeth whitening system ever developed. Refrigeration is a key part of the KöR system, ensuring maximum potency and consistent effectiveness (fun fact: it’s the only recognized system in the world that whitens tetracycline-stained teeth, which was previously thought to be impossible).
The KöR procedure is comfortable, and decades of scientific research have proven it to be safe for both teeth and gums. You can even whiten your teeth while you sleep, thanks to the unique KöR-Seal Whitening Trays, which are so comfortable that most patients wake up forgetting they were even wearing them. Most patients experience very little to no sensitivity during the process. The result is a radiantly white, natural-looking smile you will love!
Pricing:
- At‑home only: $550
- At‑home + in‑office: $800
How does the KöR Whitening system work?
Your dentist will take molds of your teeth to create a unique, ultra-comfortable set of KöR-Seal whitening trays. You and your dentist will select which level of KöR Whitening is the proper fit for you. Most patients wear their KöR-Seal Whitening Trays at home for two weeks while they sleep. Depending on your selections, you may have one or two simple whitening visits in the dental office.
Kor Whitening: FAQs
- Why does KöR Whitening work so well? The gel is continuously refrigerated from manufacturing to the dental office, so it maintains absolute potency and deeply penetrates the tooth structure to dissolve stains.
- How long does KöR Whitening last? Results are long lasting and subsequent whitening if stains reappear is much easier.
- Is it safe? Yes. Backed by decades of research and used safely by millions.
- Does age matter? While ideal starting age is around 14, even 90-year-old teeth respond well.
- How white will my teeth get? Up to 16 shades lighter or more.
- Will food and drinks stain my teeth after whitening? Kor whitening is safe to use long term and occasional touch ups can be done to ensure that your teeth stay brilliantly white!
- Are the trays comfortable and mess-free? Yes. KöR Seal trays are thin, form-fitting, and worn while sleeping. The gel stays sealed inside the tray to prevent leakage.
What Is Opalescence Go?
Opalescence Go is a more affordable and convenient teeth whitening option. It is similar to over-the-counter strips but with professional-grade gel and less sensitivity.
Benefits of Opalescence Go:
Opalescence Go is a ready-to-use, prefilled tray system that eliminates the need for custom molds, making it easy to use at home or on the go. The UltraFit™ tray material adapts to the contours of your smile, ensuring even gel distribution and a comfortable fit. The clear trays also allow for discreet whitening at your convenience. The whitening gel contains potassium nitrate and fluoride (PF) and is available in various formulations and concentrations, which not only help achieve a brighter smile but also reduce sensitivity and strengthen tooth enamel. With good oral hygiene and occasional touch-ups, results can last from several months to a year.
Pricing:
- $85
How do I use Opalescence Go?
Brush and floss, position the tray, bite and suck to fit, remove the outer tray, wear for the recommended time, then discard trays and rinse/brush teeth. You can find more detailed instructions in the referenced documents.
Opalescence Go: FAQs
- How does teeth whitening work? Hydrogen peroxide in the gel breaks down stain molecules, lightening tooth color.
- Do the trays need to be refrigerated? Yes, store between 36°F and 46°F.
- Is teeth whitening for everyone? It is not recommended for people with gum disease, worn enamel, cavities, exposed roots, or restorations (which will not whiten). Consult a doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Do whitening lights work? Only peroxide whitens teeth. LED lights are not necessary and may be harmful.
- How soon will I see results? It varies. Some see changes in days, others need more time. Use consistently for 5 to 10 days.
