These Teeth Whitening Before-and-After Photos Show the Power of In-Office Treatment

Plenty of us want a whiter smile. Between normal wear and persistent coffee and food stains, it can feel like an uphill battle to get your smile bright and sparkling. And with so many at-home solutions that can cause tooth sensitivity (like whitening toothpastes) or just don’t provide the results you’re looking for, something’s gotta give. That’s where in-office whitening comes in. When your smile isn’t responding to DIY solutions, in-office treatments can make a serious impact in just one visit—just look at these dramatic before-and-after photos to see for yourself.

The Impact of In-Office Professional Whitening

While plenty of at-home whitening products promise to lift your teeth by several shades, in-office whitening can accomplish that kind of dramatic change in just one visit.

“Unlike other cosmetic dental treatments available today, professional teeth whitening has the potential to dramatically enhance the appearance of someone’s smile in a single office visit without invasive procedures,” says New York cosmetic dentist Husam Almunajed, DDS.

Los Altos, CA cosmetic dentist Joseph Field, DDS notes that these treatments can also impact patient confidence. “Small smile upgrades like professional whitening can make a big impact,” he says. “That extends into [patients] being more comfortable presenting themselves, having more self-confidence and being less inhibited by their teeth.”

Types of In-Office Teeth Whitening

• LED Whitening like Philips Zoom! and Glo Professionals utilizes an LED light and hydrogen peroxide gel to noticeably whiten teeth several shades brighter.
• Laser Whitening uses a laser to activate a bleaching agent (usually hydrogen peroxide) to achieve deep whitening.

“Professional in-office teeth whitening is highly effective as it uses advanced techniques and stronger whitening agents than at-home methods,” says Dr. Almunajed. “Professional in-office teeth whitening is a controlled, efficient and safe procedure that delivers superior results to at-home methods. The combination of professional-grade products, personalized care and advanced technology ensures a brighter, more confident smile in as little as one visit.”
