Whitening success requires trays that fit, seal out saliva and sulcular fluid, and are comfortable for the patient. I’m well aware of what it’s like when those three things don’t happen. The first time I had my teeth whitened years ago, the dentist and staff were great, but it became clear that the conventional trays they fabricated just weren’t doing the trick. I really didn’t like wearing them and I wasn’t getting the results I was promised. Oh, how I wish KöR Whitening was around back then.
Dentists who use the KöR Whitening system have two options. They can fabricate KöR-Seal Trays themselves using the detailed training information that comes with the system. Or they can have the trays fabricated for them at the KöR Lab. The lab is a cost-effective convenient service and learning resource to KöR system users to ensure exceptional whitening results. Users can receive education about conventional and digital impression technique, and detailed information about how impressions, models, and trays are trimmed, how blockout and reservoirs are placed, how the tray fits the model, and how it should fit the patient.
Start-up kit specials include free lab cases, which gives the lab a chance to evaluate your impressions and allows you to determine if using the lab on an ongoing basis is the best fit for your practice. I’ve talked to dentists who say that the lab costs are reasonable, and the convenience and time savings are worth just about any investment.
Check out this video to see the difference between conventional whitening trays and the proprietary KöR-Seal Trays fabricated by the KöR Lab, and to learn how the lab will work with you to benefit your patients.
