KoR Whitening Options

To brighten your smile, the KoR Whitening System offers two proven approaches. Dr. MacFarlane will help you pick the best one based on how much discoloration you have, your timeline, and your sensitivity preferences.

In-Office Power Bleaching

  • Protocol: A 2-4 week protocol combining in-office and home whitening
  • Strength: Professional-grade bleaching agents at higher concentrations
  • Speed: Dramatic results once the protocol is complete
  • Supervision: Carried out by our trained dental team for safety and comfort
  • Best for: Patients after fast, professionally supervised whitening results

Take-Home Whitening Trays

  • Trays: Proprietary trays, custom-made from a virtual scan of your teeth
  • Strength: Lower-strength bleaching agents that minimize sensitivity
  • Results: Gradual, longer-lasting whitening you can see within a few days
  • Maintenance: Reusable trays for future touch-ups and whitening upkeep
  • Best for: Patients who prefer to whiten at home on their own schedule

KoR In-Office Power Bleaching

For safe, effective results, KoR in-office power bleaching relies on a 2-4 week in-office and home whitening protocol. Follow it carefully and, like most patients, you can see dramatic changes in tooth shade. The method draws on professional-grade bleaching agents you cannot buy over the counter, all administered by our trained dental team for your safety and comfort.

We recommend in-office whitening treatments over store-bought methods because Dr. MacFarlane can apply higher concentrations of bleaching agents, making the whitening more efficient and tailored to your specific situation. See for yourself the difference professional whitening makes in both the appearance of your teeth and your confidence.

KoR Take-Home Whitening Trays in Red Bank, NJ

KoR Take-Home Whitening Trays

If you would rather whiten on your own schedule, take-home teeth whitening trays from the KoR Whitening System are an excellent option for a whiter smile. Proprietary and custom-made from a virtual scan, these trays use lower-strength bleaching agents that ward off sensitivity and gum tissue irritation while delivering a more gradual, longer-lasting result.

Within just a few days you will begin to see results, and you can keep using the trays for future touch-ups and whitening maintenance. As with any whitening treatment, following all the instructions our team provides is important for your safety and the best possible results.

Frequently Asked Questions

To break down stain molecules on and within tooth enamel, professional teeth whitening uses hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide bleaching agents. The KoR Whitening System is built to restore the tooth's ability to absorb oxygen from the bleaching gel, dissolving those stain molecules for a dramatically whiter result. Throughout, Dr. MacFarlane supervises the process to keep it both safe and effective.

During or shortly after whitening treatment, some patients notice temporary tooth sensitivity. The KoR system is built specifically to minimize it: its proprietary tray design seals out the saliva and sulcular fluid that can break down the bleaching agent and add to discomfort. If sensitive teeth are part of your history, Dr. MacFarlane can adjust the protocol to keep you comfortable.

Given proper care, professional whitening results can hold for one to several years, depending on your diet, lifestyle, and oral hygiene habits. Coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco tend to bring staining back sooner. Reaching for your KoR take-home trays for periodic touch-ups helps keep your smile bright over the long term.

Because over-the-counter whitening strips and toothpastes use much lower concentrations of bleaching agents, their effectiveness is limited, especially against deeper or more stubborn stains. KoR pairs professional-grade formulations you cannot find in stores with custom-fitted trays and in-office protocols, and together they produce more consistent, dramatic, and longer-lasting results. On top of that, Dr. MacFarlane tailors the treatment to your specific discoloration.

If your teeth and gums are healthy, you are most likely a good candidate for professional whitening, as most adults are. The treatment works best on natural tooth enamel affected by yellowing, coffee, tea, tobacco, or age-related discoloration. Active cavities, gum disease, or extremely worn enamel may need to be handled first. To find the safest and most effective approach, Dr. MacFarlane evaluates every patient individually.

How much KoR whitening costs depends on which protocol is recommended: in-office power bleaching, take-home trays, or a combination of the two. At your consultation, our team will lay out a clear treatment plan and go over payment options. Compared with repeatedly buying less effective over-the-counter products, many patients find professional whitening a worthwhile investment.

Yes. Carried out under a dentist's supervision, professional teeth whitening is considered safe and effective. The KoR system uses well-researched bleaching agents at concentrations suited to dental use. To protect your gums, enamel, and overall oral health, Dr. MacFarlane monitors the entire process. The most common side effect, temporary sensitivity, usually clears up on its own.

Only natural tooth enamel responds to whitening treatments. Bleaching will not change the shade of porcelain veneers, crowns, or composite bonding. When you already have restorations, Dr. MacFarlane may suggest whitening your natural teeth first, then replacing or adjusting those restorations to match your new, brighter shade for a uniform smile.
