What Is KöR Teeth Whitening?
Created for comfort, safety, and lasting refinement, KöR whitening helps reveal a radiant, confident smile that feels authentically yours. Unlike traditional whitening methods that rely on lights, lasers, or short treatment times, KöR whitening uses a scientifically advanced system that revitalizes your teeth’s ability to absorb oxygen. The unique KöR whitening gel penetrates deep into the enamel, dissolving even the most resistant stains that have accumulated over the years.
What truly sets KöR whitening apart is the combination of scientific innovation and patient comfort. The system’s refrigerated gel maintains maximum potency, ensuring the most effective whitening power without added irritation.
The process is also completely customizable. Whether you have mild staining or severe discoloration, KöR can be tailored to your needs and goals. From the moment you begin treatment at our Garden Ridge office, you’ll experience a level of care and precision designed to deliver a smile you can feel proud of.
Real Patients, Real Results
Patients throughout Garden Ridge and surrounding communities have trusted Dougherty Cosmetic Dentistry for smile transformations that look as good as they feel. KöR® whitening delivers noticeable, reliable results that speak for themselves, often up to 16 shades lighter depending on the individual.

Why Choose KöR?
KöR® whitening is a professional-grade whitening system designed to restore your teeth’s natural brightness, without the sensitivity that often comes with other treatments. There are many reasons why people get their teeth whitened; some of the main reasons include:
Long-Lasting Results
With proper at-home maintenance, KöR results can last for years. You’ll also receive custom trays to refresh your smile when needed.
No Light or Laser Needed
Many whitening systems rely on heat or lights that can dry out the enamel and cause rebound staining. KöR uses a proprietary dual-activated gel that works without light activation.
Deeper Whitening Power
It is known for its ability to whiten teeth up to 16 shades or more. Unlike many whitening methods that only treat surface stains, KöR penetrates deep into the tooth enamel to remove discoloration at the molecular level.
It works through a combination of in-office treatment and customized at-home trays that maximize results over time. This creates a dramatically whiter smile that looks fresh, natural, and seamless.
Little to No Sensitivity
One of the most appealing aspects is that it’s safe, effective, and clinically proven to provide results for even the deepest stains. Thanks to its advanced formula and desensitization protocol, KöR® causes little to no tooth sensitivity in most patients. If you’ve avoided whitening in the past because of discomfort, KöR may be a better fit.
At Dougherty Cosmetic Dentistry, we’ve chosen KöR because it’s known for its predictable, consistent results. And because it’s one of the few whitening systems that can significantly lighten teeth affected by tetracycline staining, a type of deep discoloration once considered untreatable.
KöR delivers results that feel natural and allows our patients to enjoy beautifully white smiles that look healthy and youthful.
One of the Most Powerful Whitening Systems Available
At Dougherty Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer KöR because we believe in giving patients a whitening option that actually delivers. Whether you’re prepping for a big event or simply want to feel better about your smile, KöR is one of the most reliable ways to get there.
What Types of Stains Can KöR® Treat?
KöR® whitening is powerful enough to address a wide variety of stains, both surface-level and deeply embedded. Whether your discoloration is caused by daily habits or internal factors, KöR® offers a comprehensive approach to brightening your smile.
It is ideal for all different types of stains, including:
- Coffee, Tea, and Wine Stains | Years of dark beverages can cause gradual yellowing or brownish tints.
- Tobacco Discoloration | Nicotine and tar cause deep stains that standard whitening strips can’t remove.
- Aging-Related Dullness | As enamel thins with age, KöR helps reverse the natural darkening process.
- Medication Stains (Tetracycline and Others) | KöR is one of the only whitening systems capable of lightening gray or blue discoloration from certain antibiotics.
- Genetic Discoloration | Even teeth that are naturally darker can achieve a brighter, more balanced tone.
- Deep Intrinsic Stains | Stains that didn’t respond to over-the-counter products.
Whether your teeth have dulled over the years or never had the brightness you wanted to begin with, KöR® is designed to bring that natural white back to life.
Is KöR® Right for You?
If you’ve tried whitening in the past without seeing the results you hoped for, KöR® may be the solution you’ve been waiting for.
- Have been disappointed by whitening results in the past
- Want significant whitening without harsh lights or lasers
- Are looking for a long-term solution that’s gentle on your teeth
- Have deep or stubborn stains, including those from medication
It’s also a popular choice for patients prepping for cosmetic treatments, special events, or just wanting to feel more confident in everyday life. We’ll evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and determine whether KöR® whitening is the most effective way to help you achieve a brighter, more confident smile.

The Impact Whitening Has on Your Life
Teeth whitening is one of the most straightforward cosmetic treatments available, but the results often go beyond the surface.
Here are just a few ways KöR whitening can enhance your daily life:
Boosted Confidence
There’s something empowering about being able to smile without hesitation. A bright, even smile can make you feel more at ease when meeting new people, giving presentations, or taking photos.
Many of our patients share that after whitening their teeth with KöR®, they feel more self-assured in both personal and professional settings. When you love your smile, you naturally express yourself more freely, and that confidence is often the first thing people notice.
Youthful Appearance
As we age, enamel naturally darkens due to years of exposure to staining foods, beverages, and environmental factors. Whitening your teeth helps reverse this effect, restoring the brightness that’s often associated with youth and vitality.
KöR whitening goes deep below the enamel surface to remove years of discoloration, helping you look refreshed and rejuvenated without any invasive treatments. It’s a subtle yet powerful way to enhance your overall appearance while maintaining a natural look.
Enhanced Professional Presence
In today’s world, confidence and presentation go hand-in-hand, especially in professional environments.
Whether you’re preparing for a job interview, client meeting, or networking event, a bright smile helps convey approachability, professionalism, and attention to detail. A healthy, white smile can strengthen first impressions and make interactions more memorable, helping you stand out for all the right reasons.
Improved Motivation for Oral Care
A beautiful smile often inspires a renewed commitment to oral health. Patients who complete KöR whitening frequently tell us they feel more motivated to maintain their results with diligent brushing, flossing, and regular dental cleanings.
When you see the transformation in your smile, caring for your teeth becomes something you look forward to rather than a chore. This positive shift in mindset can lead to long-term benefits for both your oral and overall health.
Positive Emotional Impact
Smiling is scientifically linked to improved mood, reduced stress, and stronger social connections. When you’re confident in your smile, you’re more likely to share it, and that simple act can uplift not only your own mood but also the people around you.
A whiter smile can encourage you to engage more openly, laugh freely, and enjoy the little moments in life without self-consciousness. The emotional boost that comes with feeling proud of your smile is one of the most rewarding aspects of KöR® whitening.
At Dougherty Cosmetic Dentistry, we’ve seen firsthand how something as simple as whitening can create a ripple effect of confidence and happiness. KöR whitening offers the chance to rediscover the brilliance of your natural smile without compromise.
Types of Whitening Treatments: At-Home & In-Office Options
The KöR® Whitening System is flexible enough to fit your lifestyle, offering both at-home and in-office options designed to deliver maximum results with minimal effort.
KöR At-Home Whitening
For patients who prefer to whiten on their own schedule, KöR® offers a take-home whitening system that provides professional-grade results in the comfort of your home. We begin by taking precise digital impressions to create custom whitening trays that fit your teeth perfectly, ensuring even distribution of the whitening gel and preventing leakage.
You’ll wear the trays overnight for two weeks (depending on your treatment plan), allowing the whitening gel to work deeply while you sleep. Because KöR® uses a special formulation that keeps oxygen active for an extended period, it continues to break down stains throughout the night.
The result? A whiter, more luminous smile without the tooth sensitivity often associated with traditional whitening.
KöR In-Office Whitening
If you want immediate, dramatic results, our in-office KöR whitening treatment provides professional-strength whitening in a single visit. During this appointment, our team carefully applies the KöR whitening gel and monitors the process to ensure both safety and comfort.
Many patients combine in-office and at-home KöR treatments for the most comprehensive results. This combination protocol offers the best of both worlds: rapid brightening with the in-office session and sustained improvement through the at-home system.
No matter which option you choose, you’ll benefit from the same advanced whitening technology and long-lasting results that KöR is known for.
