Highly concentrated whitening can be done in a dental office, or in your own home. Completing the whitening in your own home is done via a high concentration of carbamide peroxide. Carbamide Peroxide is what is offered by most online services and is also what most dentists use in their offices. The products you can purchase online are much more cost effective than the same products offered by most dental offices.
The whitening process is completed when you apply a high potency of oxidizing agent to your teeth with very thin plastic trays for a short period of time. This will provide the quickest results to obtaining whiter teeth. The trays (referred to as application trays) need be tight, but comfortably fitted in order to retain the whitening gel, to ensure full teeth contact to the bleaching agent. The application trays need to stay in contact with your teeth for anywhere from 10-20 minutes. If you do the in home whitening process, always be sure to follow manufacturers directions located on the label.
Lower potency bleaching is the least effective and takes considerably more time to achieve desired results. Low-concentration bleaching is accomplished by buying a thin mouth guard or strip that contains a very low concentration of the oxidizing / whitening agent. Requirements for successful whitening with this method are to keep the strip in contact with your teeth for as long as several hours a day for anywhere from 5 to 30 days. Consumers usually find these types of slower acting products in your local drugstore or grocery store.
Recommended Product.
In our testing, one product outperformed all of the other in-home treatments - Premium White. What makes this product unique is it does not use trays or strips, yet as effective as the high potency bleaches as a dentist would use. It actually uses an activation brush or pen. This is significant as some of the complaints people have about other whitening products is the taste of the gels and the time needed to have the trays in your mouth.
The product offered by Premium White negates both of these issues since it does not use traditional trays that need to be used 10 to 20 minutes a day and our testers reported none of the bad after tastes found with many of the other high concentrate whitening products.
We were also very impressed with the trial and product guarantee offered by Premium White. Consumer News and Report strongly recommends only dealing with companies who offer solid guarantees behind the performance of any product. Premium White exceeded our criteria for a strong, no questions asked guarantee.
