The best teeth whitening possible
Over the years it has become known that the In-Office teeth whitening systems are best for instant results. If you have an upcoming wedding or other event, these treatments are the best way to go.
For long term results that will keep you smiling, we have found that a combination of the in office methods like Boost or Zoom COMBINED with custom trays to touch-up at home are the answer.
Usually offices will give you a combination "deal". So they may charge $399.00 for the...

Best Tooth whitening system
THe best tooth whitening system available depends on the color of your teeth. If you have teeth that are dark or stained the best product would probably be KoR Deep bleaching. If you have lighter teeth than Zoom may be a good option.

What is the Best Whitening System?
All whitening systems have their advantages and disadvantages. I have used many systems over the years and have found the Zoom AP system to be superior to all of them. The results are great and the system is fast. Be aware that many times there can be sensitivity "zingers" for 8-10 hours following the procedure. A fluoride treatment is given following the procedure to keep this to a minimum, but sensitivity does sometimes still occur.

Whitest teeth come from a process and not a product
All products work to various degrees, but by combining several products , as in the KoR method, teeth get as white as possible. Each process has it's own benefits and drawbacks, so find an office that is experienced in many.

What is the best teeth whitening sysytem?
I can only give you an answer based on our experience in our office, and with our patients.
For stained and yellow teeth, the best Professional Whitening Product is KOR Whitening. If your teeth are not too stubborn to whiten then Zoom II is the most effective one.
As far as over the counter products , I have no comments, simply because I have absolutely no control on the compliance of patients for any system that they use at home.
Good luck.
