Teeth Whitening: Professional vs At-Home Options
Dr. Simons
Clinical Specialist
Compare professional whitening treatments with at-home solutions to find the best option for your smile. Brightening your teeth is one of the quickest ways to transform your overall look and boost your self-confidence.
Professional In-Office Teeth Whitening
In-office teeth whitening is performed by a dental professional and offers the fastest, most dramatic results. A strong bleaching gel is applied to the teeth and activated with a special light. The entire process takes about an hour, and teeth can become several shades whiter in just one visit.
At-Home Whitening Kits
At-home whitening options include custom-fitted trays provided by your dentist, over-the-counter whitening strips, and whitening toothpaste. While these options are more affordable, they contain lower concentrations of bleaching agents and take weeks of daily use to show results.
