With so many teeth-whitening products and techniques available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right method for your smile. The best first step is to schedule an appointment with your dentist to discuss your options and determine which approach—professional in-office whitening or at-home treatments—fits your needs.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
In-office whitening is performed at our office under the supervision of a professional. During the appointment, a whitening gel is applied to the surface of your teeth. The procedure generally takes about 90 minutes, and patients can see immediate results, making it a fast and effective option for a brighter smile.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
Tray Whitening
Tray whitening is a professional at-home option that uses custom-made trays and whitening gel available only through your dentist. The trays fit perfectly over your teeth, allowing the peroxide-based gel to whiten all natural teeth evenly.
Paint-On Teeth Whiteners
Paint-on whiteners are available over-the-counter and are applied with a small brush that coats the teeth with whitening gel. The gel hardens into a thin film and gradually dissolves in the mouth.
Teeth-Whitening Strips
Whitening strips are thin, flexible plastic strips coated with hydrogen peroxide. Kits typically include separate strips for the upper and lower teeth.
Whitening Toothpaste and Mouthwash
The most affordable options are whitening toothpastes and mouthwashes, which use mild abrasives to remove surface stains.
