KöR Whitening Explained
KöR is a premium take-home whitening system with enhanced stability. Here's when it's worth paying for.
Dr. Sofia Petrova
Lead Cosmetic Dentist
What makes KöR different
- Refrigerated gel — kept active through delivery and use
- Custom-sealed trays to exclude saliva
- Typical 2–3 weeks of wear
- Designed for difficult cases (tetracycline staining, age-related darkening)
Who benefits most
- Tetracycline-stained patients (grey or brown banding)
- Long-term coffee/tea drinkers with set staining
- Patients for whom Zoom or traditional take-home didn't deliver
- Those who want the most predictable whitening result
Cost in Dubai
- Standard KöR kit: AED 2,800–4,500
- KöR Ultra (for tetracycline): AED 4,500–7,500
Process
- Custom trays made
- Gel applied nightly for 2–3 weeks
- In-chair booster at 2 weeks
- Touch-up as needed
Results
Up to 16 shades lighter in some cases. Stable for 12+ months with minimal top-up.
Sensitivity
About 20–30% of users experience mild sensitivity. Potassium nitrate pre-treatment reduces this.
