KöR® Whitening at Delmar Family Dental
If you’ve tried whitening strips, toothpaste, or “one-size-fits-all” trays and felt underwhelmed, you’re not alone. Many over-the-counter options are designed for mild, surface-level staining—and they often struggle with deeper discoloration that lives inside the tooth. KöR® Whitening is different. Among dental professionals, KöR is widely recognized as a high-performance whitening system because it focuses on deep, sustained whitening while helping patients stay comfortable throughout the process.
Most whitening products lose power quickly once saliva seeps into the tray. KöR is designed to reduce that problem by using custom-fitted trays and a sealing approach intended to help keep whitening gel active longer against the teeth. The goal is simple: maintain effective contact time so the whitening agents can do their job more predictably.
KöR can be a strong option for:
- Yellowing from coffee, tea, wine, or smoking
- General darkening with age
- Uneven tooth shade
- Deeper, internal discoloration (intrinsic stains)
In some cases, KöR may even improve the appearance of tetracycline staining, which is known to be one of the most challenging types of discoloration to treat with whitening alone. If you’re curious what’s possible, KöR publishes a gallery of tetracycline-stain cases you can review here: https://www.korwhitening.com/tetracycline-stain-cases/
Your whitening experience starts with a consultation so we can confirm you’re a good candidate and set realistic expectations. Whitening works on natural tooth structure, but it will not change the shade of crowns, veneers, bonding, or fillings—so planning matters if you have existing cosmetic work.
From there, we’ll create your customized approach. Many patients complete a take-home phase using their custom trays, and some plans include an in-office “boost” to help maximize results. We also talk through sensitivity management and how to maintain your new shade with simple habits and touch-ups
Dentist-supervised whitening systems commonly use peroxide-based ingredients (such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide). Temporary sensitivity can happen, but it’s typically manageable and short-lived when whitening is done correctly and under professional guidance.
