No One Best Tooth Whitening System

This is a question that I'm asked all the time, but for take home tooth whitening, there really is no one best system. All take home tooth whitening systems have basically similar active ingredients (often carbamide peroxide) with the differences being flavorings, thickeners, etc. As far as trays go, you want ones custom made for you by your dentist, not generic ones you can get at a drug store. With higher concentrations of the active ingredient there does seem to be more sensitivity,... more

Best Tooth Whitening

The Best tooth whitening is the one that works for you. Modern Dentistry allows Dentists many ways to whiten teeth. The differences include: speed, cost, comfort, fit, design, taste... Your Dentist should be familiar with various systems and depending on your goals, should be able to find the right fit for you.

The Best Whitening Options and Product Recommendations

As you must gather, each of us has our favorite whitening products. There are levels of whitening and each person has individual needs.

Nite white or opalescense...

Best material for tray whitening

There is no best system for tray whitening. Bleaching is time and dose dependent. I get this question asked a lot from my patients. All take home whitening have basically the same ingredient usually carbamide peroxide. The higher the concentration , the more sensitivity may result. Sensitivity is the main side effect of whitening.

10% Carbamide peroxide in a thick gel is best for Tray teeth whitening

There are several brands that make whitening gels for trays. They are all effective. The ingredient with the longest track record is Carbamide peroxide. It comes in 5%, 10%, 15% and even 35%. The higher the percentage the faster the teeth whiten but the more sensitivity can develop. 35% is designed to be used for 30min a day. Whereas the lower percentages are designed to be used overnight or for a few hours per day. I have been using the Ultradent product called Opalescence since... more

Home teeth whitening system

Most take home teeth whitening gels have similar formula; however strength of the peroxide (actual whitening agent) may differ. Your dentist can help you find the best strength that may work with your teeth.
