The short answer
KöR Whitening is a professional Deep Bleaching system that combines custom-sealed trays worn at home with an in-office session to remove deep, long-standing stains. At Pacific Dental Group in Montebello, KöR can lighten teeth many shades — including tetracycline and other difficult stains — with less sensitivity than typical whitening, and results last for years with occasional touch-ups.

What to expect, step by step
Shade & exam
We record your starting shade and confirm teeth and gums are healthy.
Custom trays
Precision trays seal the gel against your teeth and keep saliva out.
At-home nights
Wear trays overnight for about two weeks to condition enamel.
In-office boost
A final chairside session delivers the deepest results.
Why is KöR different from other whitening?
Regular gels lose strength within minutes once they contact saliva. KöR gel is kept refrigerated from the factory to our office and its trays are designed to seal out saliva, so the whitening agent stays active far longer.
That is why KöR works on cases that other systems can’t — including deep internal stains — while generally causing less sensitivity.
Will whitening work on my crowns or veneers?
No. Whitening only lightens natural enamel. If you have front crowns, bonding or veneers, we usually whiten first and then match any new restorations to your brighter shade.
