At Home Teeth Whitening Options

When it comes to teeth whitening, many people prefer at-home whitening solutions. Whitening your teeth at home is convenient and private, and you can choose the treatment that best fits your needs and lifestyle. Our teeth whitening doctor in Beverly Hills can help you find the right tooth bleaching option.

At-home teeth whitening treatments can include the following:

1. Whitening toothpaste
Whitening toothpastes contain polishing ingredients, and some brands also contain chemicals that can break down stains. Although they can remove minor surface stains, they are not generally recommended for deeper stains.

2. Whitening rinses
Mouthwashes containing peroxide may help keep your smile white, but a mouthwash will not remain in contact with your teeth long enough to whiten them significantly.

3. Teeth whitening strips
Whitening strips have an active whitening ingredient that is delivered through a strip that is attached directly to the teeth. They are applied and left in place for a specific period and can lighten teeth a few shades over the course of treatment.

4. Teeth whitening trays
These trays are used to apply a peroxide-based gel or liquid bleaching agent. Whitening trays are available in over-the-counter strengths and professional versions, which use prescription-strength peroxide whiteners.
