Chairside whitening
A whitening treatment performed in a dentist’s office is considered chairside whitening. Laser tooth whitening has become one of the most popular in-office tooth whitening procedures.
Do-it-yourself whitening
Many tooth whitening products are available through your dentist or over-the-counter. Take-home whitening systems typically include whitening gel and a mouth tray or whitening toothpaste.
How to choose
Some whitening treatments aren’t appropriate for everyone — especially if you’ve had bonding or tooth-colored fillings. A dentist can help you choose the best tooth whitening treatment for you.
