KöR professional whitening delivers reliable shade improvement for most patients,
including those with difficult staining types that over-the-counter products cannot
address. Unlike generic whitening systems, KöR uses refrigerated gels and continuous
tooth contact to produce results that hold for years.
Why Choose Vivid Smiles for Teeth Whitening in Parker
Two clinical advantages set whitening at Vivid Smiles apart from neighboring
practices: the system we use, and what every patient sees on screen before treatment
ever begins.
01
KöR — Not Generic Whitening
Refrigerated gels and continuous tooth contact, not the off-the-shelf protocols
Parker patients have heard before.
Vivid Smiles uses KöR, a clinically differentiated whitening system, rather than the
generic Zoom or DaVinci protocols many Parker providers offer.
02
Trained, Reviewed, and Previewable
Six-hundred-plus training hours, 300+ five-star reviews, and a digital preview
before any treatment begins.
Dr. Bryce Richardson completed 600+ hours of specialized esthetic training and the
practice holds a 5-star rating backed by 300+ verified patient reviews. Digital
smile design lets patients preview expected results before any treatment begins, a
step most whitening providers skip entirely.
Definition
What Is KöR Teeth Whitening?
KöR whitening is a clinically advanced professional system that delivers lasting
shade improvement through refrigerated gel technology and extended tooth contact.
It outperforms standard whitening for routine staining and for difficult cases,
including tetracycline discoloration that most whitening protocols cannot
meaningfully address.
KöR whitening uses a proprietary gel kept refrigerated until treatment, which
preserves potency and maximizes effectiveness. Custom trays seal the gel against
every tooth surface for continuous contact, and the dual-action formula reaches
both surface staining and deeper intrinsic discoloration that standard gels cannot
penetrate.
Vivid Smiles offers three KöR clinical treatment levels matched to different staining
types and patient goals.
What to Expect During Your Teeth Whitening Appointment
A Vivid Smiles whitening appointment begins with a consultation to assess your
staining type, confirm shade goals, and select the right KöR level. Dr. Richardson's
team follows specific protocols to manage sensitivity so the experience stays
comfortable from first application to finish.
In-Office vs At-Home KöR Whitening
In-office KöR Power treatment combines three 20-minute chair sessions with custom
take-home trays for ongoing maintenance. At-home KöR-Night uses custom trays worn
nightly for two weeks, with results building gradually. Many patients combine both:
in-office for the initial lift, then take-home trays for maintenance.
Level One
01
KöR-Night
A take-home system using custom trays and refrigerated 16% carbamide peroxide gel for mild to moderate staining; patients wear trays nightly over two weeks with periodic at-home maintenance.
Level Two
02
KöR Power
An in-office whitening treatment paired with custom take-home trays — three 20-minute in-office sessions plus take-home maintenance, suited for moderate staining or patients who want faster initial improvement than a home-only system provides.
Level Three
03
KöR Ultra & Ultra-T
The most intensive level — designed to treat severe staining including tetracycline discoloration that other whitening systems cannot address. Ultra runs 3–4 weeks; Ultra-T extends to 6–8 weeks for the most resistant intrinsic staining.

Why Professional Whitening Beats Over-the-Counter Products
Professional KOR whitening outperforms over-the-counter products on every key measure:
gel concentration, custom fit, and lasting results.
Drugstore
Store-bought whitening strips
Store-bought strips and prefilled trays use peroxide concentrations far below
professional formulas, limiting achievable shade improvement.
Prefilled Trays
Retail prefilled trays
Prefilled retail trays do not seal against the tooth, letting saliva dilute the gel
before it takes full effect.
ProfessionalCustom KöR
Custom KöR trays
Custom KöR trays are fabricated from digital impressions, so the gel contacts every
surface evenly throughout treatment. The result is a whiter, more even outcome that
holds for years rather than weeks.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Professional Teeth Whitening?
Yellow teeth can become white again with the right protocol.
Professional whitening works best for patients with extrinsic staining from
coffee, wine, tea, and tobacco, plus the gradual yellowing that comes with age.
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums qualify, and KOR's treatment levels handle
difficult cases other systems cannot. Yellow teeth can become white again with the
right protocol; the degree of improvement depends on the staining source.
Whitening cannot change the color of existing crowns, veneers, or fillings, and it
does not correct tooth shape or alignment. Patients whose goals include those
changes often achieve better results with porcelain veneers.
Results & Maintenance
Teeth Whitening Results and How Long They Last
KöR whitening improves shade by several levels on the Vita scale, with results that
hold for years when maintained. For tetracycline staining, KöR Ultra and Ultra-T
achieve visible brightening that standard whitening systems cannot replicate.

Lasting results when maintained
Maintaining Your Whitening Results
Maintaining KöR results takes consistent daily habits and the occasional touch-up.
Limit staining beverages: Coffee, red wine, and tea cause most whitening regression. Rinsing with water after these drinks meaningfully extends results.
Use touch-up trays: KOR custom trays can be recharged with fresh gel as needed; Dr. Richardson's team provides a schedule based on your diet and lifestyle.
Stay current with professional cleanings: Routine cleanings remove the surface buildup that accelerates discoloration and protect your whitening investment long term.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening in Parker
What is the average price to have your teeth whitened?
+
Vivid Smiles publishes four whitening tiers: Opalescence take-home trays ($99), KöR-Night custom take-home trays ($350), KöR Power in-office whitening with trays ($665), and KöR Ultra / Ultra-T for the most resistant staining ($1,541). Dr. Richardson helps you match the right tier to your staining type at a no-obligation consultation.
Is it worth paying for teeth whitening?
+
Professional whitening produces results that last years rather than weeks, making it far more cost-effective over time than repeatedly buying over-the-counter products. For patients whose smile appearance affects their daily confidence, supervised KöR whitening is consistently a worthwhile investment.
Why do teeth turn yellow?
+
Yellowing comes from two sources: extrinsic staining from food, drinks, and tobacco deposited on enamel, and intrinsic discoloration from aging or certain medications. KöR addresses both types, including the intrinsic staining most other whitening systems cannot reach.
What is the fastest way to whiten teeth?
+
In-office KöR Power whitening delivers the fastest results — three 20-minute chair sessions plus take-home maintenance trays. Patients who need significant change quickly can also step up to KöR Ultra or Ultra-T for the most resistant staining, including tetracycline discoloration.
Getting a noticeably whiter smile in Parker starts with a consultation built around your
specific staining type and shade goals. KOR's treatment levels cover nearly every case,
and digital smile design gives you a preview of results before treatment begins.
