What are your options for tooth whitening?
Jan 1st, 2012
When it comes to our professional image, a bright white smile is one thing that can help improve your appearance. If one of your new year’s resolutions is a new look, whitening your smile might be one upgrade you can make that will have a big impact.
When our Louisville family dentistry patients investigate cosmetic dentistry procedures, tooth whitening is often one of the first options they inquire about. One thing they often ask is "what are the different options for tooth whitening?”
When it comes to tooth whitening, you have three basic options:
While over the counter whitening kits are the least expensive, they are also the least effective. Unfortunately, they often only whiten a few of your front teeth, or whiten your teeth unevenly. A take-home kit from your dentist has custom bleaching trays that ensure a uniform coverage on your teeth.

When it comes to tooth whitening, you have three basic options:
- In-office whitening performed in your dentist’s office
- Professionally-dispensed, take-home whitening kits
- Over-the-counter whitening kits

If you want maximum noticeable results in your tooth whitening, the best option is in-office whitening. This will provide the biggest color difference in the shortest period of time, completed in the safe and controlled environment of your trusted dentist’s office.
