For Dr. Shivi Gupta, KöR Whitening has been able to deliver results that other systems could not, boosting patient satisfaction and practice productivity
Several years ago, Dr. Shivi Gupta decided to stop offering in-office whitening in her San Diego practice because the systems she had been using failed to achieve the results patients desired. After limiting the service to take-home whitening for a time, she began looking into other in-office options. Many trusted colleagues had the same recommendation: KöR Whitening.
“We tested it and were blown away by the results, which were so immediate and effective, we decided to completely change over to KöR," she said.
For the past year, Dr. Gupta has offered KöR products including KöR Home, KöR MAX—which combines at-home whitening with a single in-office whitening visit—and KöR Ultra-T, developed specifically for cases of tetracycline staining.
KöR Ultra-T has been a remarkable solution for patient cases once thought untreatable. “It’s really nice to see patients who felt like they had no hope come out with a whitening result that is so nice and bright,” Dr. Gupta said. “Now I can offer them treatment besides a full smile makeover with porcelain or zirconia, and I know it will work.”
Dr. Gupta noted that KöR is also a great option for patients who struggle with sensitivity after whitening, as the systems come with a desensitizer that helps to prevent sensitivity issues before they arise.
Dr. Gupta offers KöR Whitening to patients finishing clear aligner treatment, knowing it will give them a beautiful final result. Having scanned these patients for retainers, she simply forwards the digital impressions to KöR to create whitening trays.
“Everybody wants white teeth, and why not? It’s easy to do and it’s safe,” Dr. Gupta said. “I shied away from offering [whitening] before because it wasn’t working, but now we’re getting such good results that everyone on my team recommends it. It’s been such a practice builder.”
Dr. Gupta appreciates that she doesn’t have to manage whitening beyond talking with patients about treatment—it’s all team driven, which helps fuel practice productivity.
“We just want to give our patients the best treatment and the best experience, and when we find something we truly believe in, patients can feel that,” Dr. Gupta said. “And from the team standpoint, there’s a different level of excitement with cosmetic procedures, and whitening is an easy introduction to those procedures. It builds business in your practice when you can offer something that works this well.”
