Combination Approach

We have found that combining a professional home whitening kit with some laser whitening achieves the best results. Well fitting and well made trays are crucial in ensuring a good result.

Don't be tempted to buy kits over-the-counter or on the Internet. Not only are they not made to fit your mouth exactly, it may be that bleaching isn't suitable for you, especially if you have gum disease or crowns.

In-office whitening is best. Provides maximum whitening with minimal effort, time and has the least sensitivity. Professionally supervision ensures effectiveness and safety.

Professional tooth whitening from a dentist is always recommended. Your dentist can check for gum diseases, as well as loose fillings. He/she will be able to fit you for trays as well.

When using the over-the-counter bleachers, there is a chance your teeth may get over-bleached. The reason I designed a whitening system (SuperSmile) was because I wanted to make sure there wasn’t a chance for over-bleaching or sensitivity. The product can work on crowns, veneers, and natural teeth, as well as dentures.

The only home bleaching kits you should be using are ones recommended by your dentist. They need to monitor the product and the reaction to the gums.
