Is professional whitening better than over-the-counter products?
Yes, professional whitening is significantly more effective. Our in-office treatments use higher concentrations of whitening agents that are not available over the counter, and we use specialized lights to accelerate the process. Professional whitening can lighten teeth by 6-8 shades in one visit, while OTC products typically achieve only 1-2 shades over weeks of use.
