Professional whitening versus whitening strips

Over-the-counter strips can work, but they are a blunt tool. Professional whitening is slower to arrange and much more controlled.

Where strips fall short

• They do not reach between teeth evenly

• Gels are weaker, so results are modest

• Nobody checks your gums or enamel first

What a dentist adds

We check for decay and old restorations, protect the gums, and measure shade before and after. Custom trays make top-ups simple and cheap.

The best whitening looks like you slept well, not like you bought teeth.

Our advice

If you want a subtle change, strips may do. If you want a dependable, even result, book a short consultation first.
