KöR® Whitening
Professional Teeth Whitening in Hell’s Kitchen, NYC
Pain-Free, Effective Whitening Technology. Stunning, Lasting Results.
If you’ve tried over-the-counter whitening or had a bad experience with sensitivity, you’re not alone. Many patients come to us after feeling disappointed with previous whitening treatments.
At Terra Dental, we offer a professional, results-driven solution: KöR® Whitening. One of the most advanced and effective systems available today, KöR® is known for delivering consistently exceptional results with little to no pain or sensitivity.
Led by cosmetic dentist Dr. Joyce Suh, we take a thoughtful, personalized approach to every whitening case and help patients from Hell’s Kitchen, Hudson Yards, and across NYC achieve beautifully bright smiles they love to share.
Why Choose KöR Whitening?
We recommend KöR Whitening because it offers what most systems can’t:
Deep stain removal: works below the surface of the enamel
Exceptional whitening results: even for difficult stains (including tetracycline discoloration)
Minimal pain and sensitivity: thanks to a proprietary desensitizing system
Long-lasting results: especially when maintained properly
Safe, comfortable experience: no harsh lights or dehydrating gels
Our patients consistently tell us they’re amazed at both the comfort and the results.
Treatment Process
What does professional whitening at Terra look like?
We take a carefully staged approach to ensure both comfort and results. With KöR Whitening, your treatment combines the convenience of at-home whitening with the power of an in-office session — all guided by our team for a beautifully even, long-lasting outcome.
-
We begin with a personalized consultation to assess your smile and whitening goals. Every patient is different, and we’ll design a treatment plan tailored to your enamel type, stain profile, and desired outcome.
-
You’ll begin with two weeks of at-home whitening using custom KoR trays and a professional-grade whitening gel. This prepares the teeth and enhances the overall depth and uniformity of whitening.
-
Your treatment concludes with a single 90-minute in-office KoR whitening session at our Hell’s Kitchen studio. This step locks in your results and delivers the stunning, lasting brightness KoR is known for — all with little to no sensitivity.
Does KöR Whitening Hurt?
This is one of the biggest concerns we hear, and one of the reasons we love KöR. The short answer is: no.
Thanks to its unique formulation, KöR is designed to dramatically reduce or eliminate sensitivity for most patients. We’ve had many patients who previously couldn’t tolerate other whitening methods now complete KöR comfortably.
Why Choose Terra Dental for Whitening?
At Terra, we take a highly personalized, cosmetic-driven approach to whitening:
We evaluate your entire smile, not just the shade
We tailor your treatment based on your enamel type and stain profile
We combine whitening with other aesthetic treatments when appropriate (such as ICON Treatment or Veneers)
We value long-term results, not just a quick, one-time improvement
In short: we want your whitening experience to be exceptional, and your smile to feel like the best version of you.
FAQs About KöR Whitening
-
With proper care and maintenance, KoR results can last years. Occasional touch-ups help maintain brightness, and we’ll guide you on how to do this safely and effectively.
-
KoR is unique in that sensitivity is minimal to none for most patients. The system is specifically designed to prevent the dehydration that causes typical whitening sensitivity. Our patients consistently tell us how comfortable the experience is, and we’ll guide you every step of the way.
-
KoR uses proprietary technology that deeply rejuvenates and oxygenates the enamel, allowing for more thorough stain removal with less sensitivity. Many other systems rely on surface-level whitening, which may not be as effective for certain stains.
-
Results depend on your enamel and stain type, but most patients see dramatic improvement, up to 16 shades lighter, while maintaining a natural-looking brightness.
-
KoR is one of the few whitening treatments shown to improve even tough stains like tetracycline discoloration. During your consultation, we’ll assess whether KoR is appropriate for your specific case.
