How Effective Are At Home Teeth Whitening Kits?

With heavy marketing placed on at home teeth whitening kits, it can be easy to be tempted into purchasing them. It can be as easy as placing them into your shopping trolley amongst your groceries and doing it yourself at home. But what these whitening kits don’t tell you are the dangers involved and their lack of effectiveness in comparison to getting your teeth whitened by a professional.

Before you decide to take home that whitening kit, you might like to know more about the difference between home kits and teeth whitening at a dentist surgery.

What Are At Home Whitening Kits?

At home whitening kits are DIY kits to whiten your teeth that are purchased at supermarkets, pharmacies and beauty stores.

What Whitening Services Are Available at a Dentist?

Many dentists offer Zoom In-Chair whitening as a process to whiten teeth. It’s fast and effective, so you’ll have your perfect white smile back before you know it. The Zoom in-chair treatment uses whitening gel to break down stains on your teeth. After the gel is applied, light activation is used to ensure your teeth stay white for longer. The process usually takes about an hour and the effect is immediate. After the treatment, you’ll be given a maintenance kit to take home to ensure your smile is always dazzling.

What is the Difference between the Two?

Teeth whitening kits are very different to having your teeth whitened in a dentist chair. Here’s why:

  • At home whitening kits can never produce results as impressive as in-chair whitening
  • Some home whitening kits can be damaging to the teeth and gums
  • Without professional supervision or advice, you may find yourself causing damage due to too much application, or having a less than desirable result due to a lack of application
  • In-chair whitening is fast and the results are seen instantly. At-home kits may have less of a result over a much more extended period of time.

How Can You Find the Right Dentist for Your Teeth Whitening?
