Teeth whitening options compared at dentist near Columbia SC

In-Office vs. Take-Home vs. Drugstore

In-office whitening: professional-strength gel with your gums protected — 4-8 shades in about an hour. The fastest, strongest option.
Custom take-home trays: molded to your teeth so the gel sits evenly and spares your gums — similar results over about two weeks, and cheap to top up for years.
Drugstore strips and LED kits: one-size-fits-none. Weak gel, uneven contact, gum irritation — most people quit before seeing a real change.

What Results to Expect

Most patients gain 4-8 shades. Yellowing from coffee, wine, and age responds best; grey or banded discoloration (often from childhood antibiotics) responds less — which we'll tell you before you spend anything.

For staining that whitening can't touch, veneers for deeper discoloration or bonding are the honest next options, and we'll say so plainly.
