In-Office Bleaching did not whiten my teeth at all...why?
Most in office bleaching does whiten everyone's teeth a few shades whiter than what they were in the beginning. I am sorry you did not achieve any change at all. It could have do with the stains or the color of your teeth or age, but I have never NOT seen it work somewhat. The one system that we have seen work on the hardest to whiten teeth is KOR Whitening...it is a deep bleaching system. We also use Rockstar Whitening and Zoom and achieve good results on most patients...

We use the patented Deep Bleaching technique, and I think one of the most important aspects is the combination of in-office and take-home whitening. And, once the home-based whitening products are used, the fit of the tray is incredibly important, so all of our whitening trays...

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. These can be very difficult stains to remove. Try using your bleaching trays for a week (1-2 hours at a...
