In-Office Whitening or Take-Home Kit?
You've got options when it comes to whitening teeth. We offer both in-office treatments as well as take-home kits - so you may be wondering which one might be better for your lifestyle. Today's blog post will be a comparison of both - we've included pros and cons of each, in no particular order.
In-Office Whitening
Pros
Faster results - especially important if you have an event coming up (e.g. wedding, corporate event, speaking event, etc)
Stronger formulations used - which get whiter teeth, but you'd need a dental professional for the application/monitoring process
Light-activated whitening means better results
Single appointment
We use procedures to minimize sensitivity to lips and gums
Get several shades whiter
Just show up and get your teeth whiten - you don't have to deal with awkward gels and ill-fitting/uncomfortable trays
Safe and effective whitening
Leads to a boost in self-confidence
Works on teeth that are heavily stained/discoloured
Cons
Doesn't work on restorations (e.g. crowns, implants, bridges, etc)
May lead to dental sensitivity
Doesn't last forever - especially if you smoke and/or consume a lot of staining foods and beverages - for example: curries, coffee, tea, etc. For permanent whitening options, ask about veneers.
Costlier than take-home packages
Take-Home Kits
Pros
Less expensive option
Get several shades whiter
Whiten in the comfort of your own home - with the convenience of your schedule
Safe and effective whitening

Leads to a boost in self-confidence
Great for touch-ups and teeth that aren't too stained/discoloured
Cons
Doesn't work on restorations (e.g. crowns, implants, bridges, etc)
May lead to dental and gum sensitivity
Doesn't last forever - especially if you smoke and/or consume a lot of staining foods and beverages - for example: curries, coffee, tea, etc. For permanent whitening options, ask about veneers.
Takes multiple treatments to achieve the same results (compared to in-office whitening) - if it reaches the same level of whiteness
Less concentrated formulas, so you often don't get the same bright-white as you do in chair-side whitening
Requires self-discipline and establishing a routine - you need to remember to use the trays and do it consistently!
