KöR Whitening vs. Whitening Strips: Is Professional Worth It?

By Dr. Lina Shahinyan, DDS, MS ·

Drugstore strips can brighten surface stains. KöR is designed for what is underneath.

Why strips plateau

Peroxide gels start breaking down when they touch saliva. Loose strips let saliva in, so the gel loses strength in minutes.

How KöR stays active

KöR gel is refrigerated from the factory to the office and worn in sealed custom trays. That keeps the gel working for hours, reaching deep stains.

The long game

With periodic touch-ups in your trays, KöR results can last for years.
