What Is KoR Teeth Whitening?

The KoR teeth whitening system is recognized as the “gold standard” in professional treatments and can whiten your teeth by up to 8 shades. It works by increasing the teeth’s absorption of oxygen down to the deepest layers to break up and remove stains, so it’s a great choice for severe or stubborn cases that don’t respond well to other treatments. It also includes desensitizing agents that greatly reduce the (temporary) temperature sensitivity that can come with whitening. 

How Does KoR Teeth Whitening Work?

A KoR treatment begins with an in-office desensitizing treatment and whitening application for fast initial results. From there, you’ll also get custom-made trays to use at home for deeper levels of whitening (the amount of time you use the trays will vary depending on the severity of your stains, and Dr. Cobb will make recommendations after evaluating your needs). These trays have a tighter seal than other options to seal out air and moisture and allow for better contact between the whitening gel and your teeth.

Another unique feature of KoR is that the gel is continuously refrigerated from the moment it’s made until it’s used. This prevents the active ingredients from degrading the way they can with other products, so it remains powerful enough to remove stubborn stains while still being gentle and minimizing sensitivity.

Who Is a Good Candidate For KoR Teeth Whitening?

KoR is an excellent option for nearly anyone who wants a reliable whitening treatment they can count on and dramatic results. It works beautifully on every type of stain or discoloration, including:

• Dark brown or gray stains from tetracycline use in childhood
• Discoloration from age
• Surface stains from red wine, coffee, tea, or tobacco
• Dark yellow discoloration from heredity
• An accident or injury that turns a tooth dark gray
• Developmental defects in the enamel (this doesn’t include textural irregularities like pitting which require a different procedure to mask)
