Professional Teeth Whitening FAQs
-
While the effectiveness of teeth whitening can vary based on the individual and the specific products used, professional teeth whitening services are generally more effective than at-home kits due to the concentrations of whitening agents.
Professional Teeth Whitening:
Hydrogen Peroxide: Concentrations of 25% to 40% are common in professional treatments.
Carbamide Peroxide: Typically used in concentrations of around 35%
Over-the-Counter Kits:
Hydrogen Peroxide: Generally 3% to 10%
Carbamide Peroxide: Usually 10% to 20%

Despite being more potent, professional teeth whitening treatments are actually better for those with sensitive teeth and gums. Here’s why:
If you receive whitening treatments in an office, you’ll wear a device that protects your gums while the whitening agent is applied to your teeth.
Whitening agent levels can be tailored to your specific needs, so if you have fewer stains and sensitive teeth, we can help you achieve a whiter smile faster than at-home treatments, but with lower levels of whitening agents than required for those with deeper stains.

Professional Teeth Whitening:
Clinical studies have shown that professional treatments can lighten teeth by up to 8-10 shades in a single session. Noticeable results are often seen immediately after one treatment session, which typically lasts about an hour.
Results can last from several months up to a few years, depending on lifestyle and oral hygiene habits. Less frequent touch-ups are needed compared to over-the-counter products.
Over-the-Counter Kits:
Meanwhile, most over-the-counter at-home kits result in a 2-4 shade improvement over several weeks of use, and it can take multiple applications over a period of 2-4 weeks to achieve noticeable results. They tend to require more frequent touch-ups, and users may need to use the kits regularly every few months to maintain results.

Yes, professional treatments are safe, and our team is here to monitor your whitening progress every step of the way. We can tailor your whitening treatment to your specific needs so you are not exposed to more potent whitening products than necessary.
Additionally, we use safety measures to ensure the treatments only come into contact with your teeth (and not your gums) with desensitizing agents and proper application techniques to reduce tooth sensitivity.
Over-the-counter kits do not provide professional-grade barriers, increasing the risk of gum irritation. There is also a higher likelihood of tooth sensitivity due to improper application and lack of desensitizing agents since users must self-administer, leading to potential misuse and complications.

As it turns out, there is.
The data clearly supports that professional teeth whitening is more effective than at-home kits in terms of speed, effectiveness, and longevity of results.

2. British Dental Journal (BDJ) Research: A review in the BDJ highlighted that in-office whitening treatments are effective in 96% of cases, while at-home treatments have a success rate of about 76%. The study also noted that professional treatments tend to have fewer side effects such as sensitivity and gum irritation .
