In Office Whitening Results Do Vary

Typically, in office whitening procedures give you the best oppurtunity to whiten your teeth. These procedures, such as Zoom Whitening, are shown to consitantly lighten teeth by 5-7 shades. This being the case, everyone does not obtain the same results with any bleaching procedure. If your teeth are more on the gray side, you will not whiten very well.
