Some Frequently Asked Questions
Why does KöR<sup>®</sup> Whitening work so well?
With the unique KöR® Whitening method and specially formulated KöR® gels, the KöR® System is able to fully rejuvenate and restore teeth to their youthful ability to absorb bleaching factors from whitening gels. This is allows pigments and stain molecules to be fully flooded by bleaching factors, thus thoroughly breaking down large stain molecules to ultra-small colorless and white particles.

This is allows pigments and stain molecules to be fully flooded by bleaching factors, thus thoroughly breaking down large stain molecules to ultra-small colorless and white particles.
This means that with easy periodic home maintenance, KöR® Whitening lasts a lifetime, while still allowing patients to consume coffee, tea, red wine, etc.
Is it safe?
Whitening products have been clinically studied for more than three decades and safely used on millions of patients without harm to teeth or gums. KöR® Whitening is considered entirely safe.
Is there pain or discomfort with KöR<sup>®</sup> Whitening?
Many have experienced pain during teeth whitening. Maybe you’ve experienced it yourself. After years of research, development and clinical testing, Dr. Rod Kurthy, the inventor of KöR® Whitening, introduced a whitening gel that, in most cases, produces little to no sensitivity. As a result, most patients have no discomfort from whitening when using this system. We have found KöR® Whitening to be the gentlest whitening system available.
Does it matter how old I am?
Teeth are safely whitened at any age, however, the ideal age to begin whitening teeth is about 14 because the permanent teeth are usually all fully erupted in the mouth by that age. The younger teeth are, the more brilliantly they whiten. However, KöR® Whitening rejuvenates even older teeth back to their youthful ability to whiten incredibly well, even if you’re 90 years old.
Will my teeth look too white and unnatural?
No. Real teeth can’t look unnatural, they just look beautifully white. If you have seen people with ultra-white, fake-looking teeth, these were probably false teeth, teeth with porcelain crowns, or porcelain veneers that may have been made too white and too opaque. With KöR® Whitening you’ll get the ideal shade that’s right for you.
How white will my teeth get?
KöR® Whitening lightens teeth dramatically, up to 16 shades or more. Although everyone is different, with the proper KöR® Whitening System, nearly all teeth will have stunning results. KöR® even whitens tetracycline-stained teeth significantly, which was previously thought to be impossible!
Will my crowns, veneers or fillings whiten too?
No. If you have any of these on your front teeth, you may need to replace some of them after whitening.
How will coffee, tea, smoking and red wine affect my teeth after whitening?
With your easy home maintenance, these staining foods will have no effect on the long-term brilliant color of your teeth.
