Professional Teeth Whitening In Bedminster

A bright, well-maintained smile is a hallmark of confidence and sophistication. Yet over time, lifestyle factors like coffee, wine, and natural wear can gradually affect its appearance. At Polished General and Cosmetic Dentistry, we use KöR whitening systems to create a tailored treatment plan to obtain your desired results.

Achieve A Brighter, More Radiant Smile With The Finest Whitening Solutions Available.

That’s why we’re proud to offer professional tooth whitening, including the advanced KöR Whitening System a powerful yet gentle solution that delivers real, lasting results even for the most stubborn stains. Using the KöR system, we create a comprehensive whitening treatment plan tailored to your specific goals, needs, and sensitivity levels ensuring beautiful results without discomfort.

Different options with KöR

Tooth stains can be present for a variety of reasons from dietary choices to tetracycline staining. We will customize the KöR product treatment plan based on your specific needs.

KöR Home

KöR Home includes 2 weeks of nighttime whitening which has been proven to be more effective than daytime whitening. Custom trays are made that you wear with 16% carbamide peroxide gel to achieve the best at-home results.

Kör Max

Includes custom trays, an initial 2 weeks of at-home night whitening with 16% carbamide peroxide gel followed by a professional in-office whitening session.

KöR ULTRA-T

For patients with deep tetracycline stains and darkness caused by aging, this treatment option includes a professional in-office conditioning visit, 6-8 weeks of at-home nighttime whitening, and a final professional in-office whitening visit. As with all whitening systems, it is recommended to have periodic at-home maintenance. Our doctors will ensure you understand your specific KöR treatment plan to attain your best results.

ICON White Spot Treatment

Not all whitening needs are the same. If you’re bothered by white spots on your teeth, ICON white spot treatment offers a breakthrough solution that doesn’t require drilling or removal of enamel. This minimally invasive treatment works by gently blending white spots into the natural shade of your teeth, leaving a smoother, more uniform appearance.

Why Choose KöR Teeth Whitening?


KöR is one of the most effective whitening systems available today, known for its ability to tackle deeper and more complex discoloration. Unlike over-the-counter products, KöR goes beyond the surface to brighten teeth from the inside out and is fully customized to your smile.
KöR is especially effective for:
  • Tooth sensitivity concerns
  • Age-related discoloration
  • Tetracycline staining (a notoriously hard-to-treat deep stain)
  • Fluorosis (white or brown spots from fluoride exposure)

Your Teeth Whitening Frequently Asked Questions Answered

What makes KöR Whitening different from over-the-counter whitening products?

At Polished General and Cosmetic Dentistry, creating natural-looking results is our specialty. Dr. Gerri Illiano and Dr. Sara Barazesh have extensive training in cosmetic dentistry and work closely with skilled lab technicians to craft veneers that match your desired shade, shape, and translucency. We consider your facial proportions, gum line, and natural tooth characteristics to ensure your veneers look authentic and complement your unique features. Our goal is for people to notice your beautiful smile, not that you’ve had dental work done.

How white will my teeth get with professional whitening?

Results vary based on your starting shade and the type of staining, but most patients at Polished achieve significant whitening of 5-10+ shades lighter. During your consultation at our Bedminster office, we’ll assess your teeth, discuss your whitening goals, and create a customized KöR treatment plan. We’ll show you realistic expectations using shade guides and digital imaging. For patients with severe tetracycline staining or intrinsic discoloration, we’ll develop a specialized approach to achieve your best possible results.

Is teeth whitening safe? Will it damage my enamel?

Professional teeth whitening with the KöR system is completely safe when performed under the supervision of experienced dentists like Dr. Gerri Illiano and Dr. Sara Barazesh. The treatment does not damage tooth enamel or weaken teeth. Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity during or after treatment, which is why we customize your whitening plan to minimize discomfort. We’ll provide desensitizing treatments if needed and monitor your progress throughout. The KöR system is designed to be gentle yet effective, even for patients with sensitive teeth.

How long do teeth whitening results last?

With proper maintenance, professional whitening results from KöR can last for years. The longevity of your results depends on your lifestyle habits and oral hygiene. To maintain your bright smile, we recommend avoiding or limiting staining beverages like coffee, red wine, and tea, quitting smoking, and using the custom take-home whitening trays we provide for periodic touch-ups. Most of our Bedminster and Somerset County patients find that occasional at-home maintenance, from once a week to once a month, keeps their smile extremely white between professional treatments.

Can you whiten teeth with white spots or uneven coloration?

Yes! Polished General and Cosmetic Dentistry offers ICON white spot treatment, a minimally invasive procedure specifically designed to blend white spots into your natural tooth color without drilling or removing enamel. This innovative treatment works beautifully for fluorosis, decalcification spots, white spots after braces are removed, and other areas of uneven coloration. For comprehensive smile enhancement, we can combine ICON treatment with KöR whitening to create a uniformly bright, beautiful smile. Schedule an in-person or free virtual consultation to learn which treatment approach is best for your specific needs.

Will whitening cause my teeth to be sensitive?

No. We use the KöR Whitening system, which is specifically designed to minimize or even eliminate sensitivity. KöR includes a unique desensitizer that seals the tiny pores (tubules) in your teeth that normally transmit sensations to the nerves, preventing the sharp “zing” often associated with traditional whitening. It also conditions your teeth before treatment, helping them retain moisture and reducing the dehydration that commonly leads to sensitivity. Thanks to these protective steps, most patients experience little to no discomfort throughout their KöR Whitening treatment.
