In-Office LASER Teeth Whitening Vs.
Custom Take-Home Trays



Both in-office laser teeth whitening and custom take-home trays are effective ways to achieve a brighter smile, but they have key differences:



COST:

  • In-Office: More expensive upfront.
  • Custom Take-Home Trays: More affordable than in-office laser whitening but still pricier than over-the-counter options.
  • Insurance Coverage: Typically, teeth whitening is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by dental insurance.


TREATMENT TIME

  • In-Office: Faster results. Typically completed in one or two office visits.
  • Custom Take-Home Trays: Requires multiple wearings of the trays over a period of time.


LONGEVITY

  • Both methods require ongoing maintenance: This includes maintaining good oral hygiene, limiting consumption of staining substances (coffee, tea, red wine, etc.), and using touch-up treatments as needed.
  • Custom trays can provide longer-lasting results: Consistent use of custom trays with professional-grade whitening gel can help maintain results over time.


WHICH METHOD IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

The best option for you will depend on your budget, lifestyle, and desired results.

In-Office Laser Whitening: Ideal for those seeking fast, dramatic results and who are willing to invest in a more intensive treatment.

Custom Take-Home Trays: A more convenient and affordable option for those who prefer a gradual approach and are willing to commit to consistent home use.
