Who wants to have brighter, whiter teeth? According to recent sales figures, nearly everybody does.
While whitening treatment is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments available, it is equally popular for the consumers who prefer at-home options. Today’s article explores your options: Professional whitening versus Over-The-Counter whitening.
In-office whitening is performed by dental professionals using a very high concentration whitening gel or a high dosage of hydrogen peroxide. It usually takes several sessions of 15 to 30 minutes per visit to achieve the desired result.
What To Expect During In-Office Teeth Whitening
Since in-office whitening uses a high concentration whitening gel and hydrogen peroxide, patients are subject to the dentist’s discretion on frequency. Also, this professional treatment comes at a high cost. The price of in-office whitening ranges from $450 to $650 per visit.
Over-the-counter whitening, on the other hand, is a do-it-yourself procedure. This usually serves as an alternative to professional solutions. This is available at drug stores and some supermarkets.
Besides the fact that this treatment is user-friendly, it also saves quite a bit of money. Patients can find it easily at drugstores, supermarkets, and online.
The trays that come along with over-the-counter kits are not custom-made, meaning, it may not perfectly fit the contour of your mouth and can leave tissue unprotected and irritated. There is also a chance for consumers to overuse this product due to a lack of supervision and guidance. And since this treatment uses less concentrated whitening gel, results will take a little longer.
Ultimately, teeth whitening can be achieved through both methods. However, it’s advisable to speak to your dentist first and know what suits your dental health condition best. Whether you choose the professional whitening treatment or the over-the-counter treatment, you still have to know what works best for your teeth.

An average of one billion dollars is spent annually to whiten teeth. Why? Because people tend to believe that it makes their smile more attractive.
Everyone wants it, but not all get it. Whether you want a professional service or at-home whitening treatment kits, not everyone is allowed to undergo whitening treatments. Here are some of the reasons why:
Whether it is over-the-counter or professional whitening treatment, first take care of those broken fillings and cavities before undergoing the procedure. When whitening gel/solutions leak on the damaged part of your teeth, it can cause considerable discomfort and pain to the user.
