What Makes KoR Whitening Different?
KoR Teeth Whitening was developed by cosmetic dentist Dr. Rod Kurthy and has become one of the most respected professional whitening systems in dentistry. What sets KoR apart from over-the-counter products and many other in-office whitening systems is its use of continuously refrigerated whitening gel. Most whitening products begin to degrade as soon as they are manufactured, losing potency before they ever reach your teeth. KoR’s refrigeration process preserves the full strength of the active whitening ingredients, allowing the gel to penetrate deeply into the tooth structure and break up stain molecules more effectively than conventional products.
KoR is particularly well-suited for patients with difficult-to-treat discoloration, including staining from tetracycline antibiotics, fluorosis, aging, and heavy consumption of coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco. In clinical use, results of up to 16 shades lighter have been achieved — results that simply are not possible with standard whitening treatments.
How KoR Whitening Works at McLemore & McLemore, DDS
KoR treatment at McLemore & McLemore, DDS is customized to each patient’s needs and may involve at-home whitening, in-office whitening sessions, or a combination of both. Custom-fitted whitening trays are created from precise impressions of your teeth, ensuring the gel stays in optimal contact with the enamel for maximum effectiveness. The trays fit comfortably and securely, making at-home wear easy to incorporate into your routine.
One of the standout features of KoR is its focus on minimizing tooth sensitivity — a common drawback of many whitening treatments. KoR’s specially formulated gels are designed to achieve dramatic brightening with far less irritation than traditional whitening systems. Many patients report little to no sensitivity during the process.
Before beginning KoR treatment, a dental consultation at McLemore & McLemore, DDS is essential to ensure whitening is appropriate for your oral health and to coordinate the process with any existing crowns, veneers, or fillings, which do not respond to whitening and would need to be considered in your treatment plan. Contact McLemore & McLemore, DDS in Jackson, TN at (731) 424-2651 to schedule your KoR whitening consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions About KoR Teeth Whitening
What is KoR Teeth Whitening and how does it work?
KoR is a professional-grade whitening system that uses continuously refrigerated, high-potency whitening gel delivered through custom-fitted trays. The refrigeration preserves the gel’s strength so it can penetrate deeply into tooth enamel and break up stain molecules more effectively than most conventional whitening products.
How white can my teeth get with KoR?
Results vary depending on the nature and severity of staining, but KoR has achieved results of up to 16 shades lighter in clinical use. It is especially effective for difficult discoloration such as tetracycline staining, fluorosis, and deep aging-related yellowing that does not respond to standard whitening.
Is KoR whitening safe for my teeth?
Yes. KoR is a professionally administered whitening system available only through trained dental providers like McLemore & McLemore, DDS. It is formulated to minimize sensitivity and is safe for tooth enamel when used as directed. Our team will evaluate your oral health before treatment to confirm you are a good candidate.
Will KoR whitening cause tooth sensitivity?
KoR is specifically formulated to reduce sensitivity compared to traditional whitening systems. Many patients experience little to no sensitivity during treatment. Patients who are prone to sensitivity should discuss this with our team at McLemore & McLemore, DDS before starting.
Does KoR whitening work on crowns, veneers, or fillings?
