Teeth Whitening Options and Their Effectiveness

Teeth whitening is a popular way to improve your smile without any invasive treatments. With the right whitening treatment, you can take years off the look of your smile and boost your confidence. If you want a Hollywood smile, whitening might just be the fastest way to get there.

Some popular options include:

1. Whitening toothpaste
You use toothpaste anyway, so tooth whitening toothpaste seems like a simple solution. Although it can be effective for mild, surface stains, toothpaste cannot scrub away the stains that are deep inside your teeth.

2. Whitening strips
Strips are small strips of material impregnated with a peroxide solution. They attach directly to your teeth for a certain time each day. These over-the-counter strips can lighten your teeth by a few shades but are not as effective as professional whitening treatments.

3. Professional whitening
For the brightest smile, professional whitening will give you the most for your investment. Professional whitening can be performed in our office or in the privacy of your own home, depending on your preferences, and it can lighten your teeth up to eight to 10 shades or more.
