Home Kits or In-office whitening treatments, which is the winner

Which actually works better a do-it-yourself kit for teeth whitening at home or getting the visit of a dental professional wherever you need him?

Both treatments are practical, affordable and much more efficient than regular over-the-counter whitening products that have a lower concentration of whitening material and non-fitting whitening trays.


But now, which of the two is the winner?

Let’s see their pros and cons so you can choose your very own winner:

Home Whitening Kits

Best for: People who want to lighten one or two shades

Pros

• Less expensive
• Can be applied in the comfort of your home

Cons

• More labor-intensive
• Require more frequent treatments
• Trays aren’t tailored to fit your individual mouth

In-office whitening treatments

Best for: People who want to lighten more than two shed and have severe teeth discolorations

Pros

• More expensive
• Whitening done by a trained professional
• Lasts longer
• Uses personalized trays to fit your teeth exactly (the better the tray fits; the better your results because you teeth will be in constant contact with the whitening gel).

Cons

• More expensive
• Requires additional trip to dentist’s office
• If you have strongly-stained frontal teeth, the best way to get a bright smile might be either porcelain veneers or dental bonding, which conceal your stained teeth and simultaneously correct gaps or crookedness.
