KöR Whitening Deep
Bleaching Technology
Our Birmingham dental team uses the KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching system to deliver results that over-the-counter products simply cannot match. This professional-grade treatment penetrates deep into the enamel to break up even the most stubborn discoloration, whitening teeth by up to 16 shades. KöR is also designed for patients with sensitive teeth, so your comfort is never compromised during the whitening process.
A Comfort-First Experience
at Every Visit
We believe a trip to the dentist should feel more like a visit to the spa. Choose from items on our comfort menu, including warm blankets, lavender towelettes, complimentary beverages, and heated massage chairs, for a truly relaxing experience. For patients who are combining procedures or need a little help to calm their nerves, we offer dental sedation to keep you at ease throughout your appointment.
Custom Whitening Plans
and Flexibility
No two smiles are the same, and neither are our whitening treatments. Our dentists will evaluate your teeth, discuss your goals, and recommend the best formula for your smile. We also offer in-office whitening for fast, dramatic results or custom take-home trays for a more gradual brightening on your own schedule. You can trust that our Birmingham, AL, team will design a plan specifically for you.
What to Expect From
Professional Teeth Whitening
Your whitening journey at Gooch Family Dental begins with a one-on-one consultation. One of our dentists will examine your teeth, discuss your cosmetic goals, and determine the best approach for your smile. We use the KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching system, a professional-grade whitening solution that is safe, effective, and designed to work even for patients with sensitive teeth.
Take-Home Whitening
Your dentist will start by taking digital impressions of your upper and lower teeth. These impressions are sent to a dental lab, where technicians create custom whitening trays. Once your trays are ready, you'll return to our office for a fitting and receive detailed instructions on how to use the bleaching gel. Patients typically wear the trays nightly for approximately two weeks, gradually brightening their smile from the comfort of home.
In-Office Whitening
For patients who want more dramatic results, we also offer an in-office whitening option. After completing your take-home course, you can return to our Birmingham, AL, office for an extended in-office session to achieve optimal whitening. This option is ideal if you're preparing for a wedding, reunion, or other milestone, or you have severely discolored teeth.
Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?
Many patients over the age of 14 who have a lackluster smile are good candidates for professional teeth whitening. However, whitening works best on natural tooth enamel and does not change the color of restorations like crowns or veneers. Patients with especially thin or worn enamel may benefit from alternative cosmetic solutions, such as porcelain veneers, which can address stubborn discoloration along with other imperfections. During your consultation, your dentist will evaluate your oral health and recommend the treatment that best fits your goals.

FAQ
About Teeth Whitening
How long does professional teeth whitening last?
Results vary by patient, but most people enjoy their brighter smile for six months to two years. Factors like your diet, tobacco use, and oral hygiene habits all play a role in the length of your results. Touch-up treatments with your custom KöR trays can help you maintain your results for even longer.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
The KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching system is specifically designed to minimize sensitivity. Unlike many professional and over-the-counter whitening products, KöR is a fairly comfortable option.
