For instance, you may prefer In-office professional Teeth Whitening! if you’re short on time, or laser teeth whitening if there’s a specific tooth that doesn’t respond well to whitening gel. We also offer home teeth whitening kits which are easy to use and keep your smile bright for years.

Brightening teeth is a great way to jump-start your smile makeover. Professional teeth whitening might even be the only cosmetic treatment you need for a Hollywood-ready smile transformation. But choosing the type of bleaching system that’s right for you is different for everyone.
In-office professional Teeth Whitening provides same-day results, making it ideal for:
- Last-minute special events
- Weddings, graduations, etc.

All of that being said, it can be helpful to have take-home trays on hand after your in-office procedure, to touch up as needed.
2.Professional Take-Home Whitening Kits
Teeth whitening at home with a professional, custom whitening kit is just as effective as our in-house whitening option. The only difference between a home teeth whitening kit and laser teeth whitening is that you’re applying the product a little bit each day instead of jump-starting it all at once.
Whitening at home makes it simple to adapt your teeth whitening kit to your specific needs. Perhaps you prefer to alternate days to minimize sensitivity. Or you can touch up more frequently to combat extra stains from drinking coffee each day.

When it comes to tooth whiteners, patients have two options: in-office whitening treatments or home whiteners. Both options use a peroxide gel bleaching agent. At-home systems contain from 3% to 20% peroxide (carbamide or hydrogen peroxides.) In-office systems contain from 15% to 43% peroxide and usually yield the best whitening results.
Generally, the longer you keep a stronger solution on your teeth, the whiter your teeth become. However, the higher the percentage of peroxide in the whitening agent, the shorter it should be applied to the teeth. Side effects of keeping the gel on too long include tooth dehydration and increased tooth sensitivity.
Your dentist can help you decide which type of bleaching agent is right for you. Not everyone will see similar results. Tooth bleaching will not whiten porcelain crowns or composite tooth-colored bondings.
