The Most Effective Teeth Whitening Products, According To Cosmetic Dentists

Do you notice a yellowing smile? While there are plenty of in-office treatments your dentist can offer to boost your brightness in a pinch, at-home whitening is quick, easy, and can also deliver quite dramatic results. Whether you’re between appointments or just beginning your whitening journey, dentists are ringing in the at-home products you should seek out first.

Dentist Kourosh Maddahi, DDS of Beverly Hills Cosmetic, says her at-home whitening system is the Luminuex Whitening Kit ($39). “I like all of the products here because they’re certified non-toxic, peroxide-free, enamel-safe, and protect the oral microbiome.”

Atlanta cosmetic dentist Ronald Goldstein, DDS, says the best teeth whitening system is the Opalescence Teeth Whitening System ($30). “These are specially adapted at-home whitening trays, made in our office, and then we decide on the appropriate whitening strength, from 10% to 35% gel, to put into the trays. This is the most effective way to bleach at home. Another alternative is to whiten in the office and then take the trays with the appropriate strength gel for maximum whitening.

“Crest Whitening Emulsions ($50) just came out last year and it’s extremely innovative,” says San Francisco cosmetic dentist Swati Agarwal, DDS. “Just slide it over your teeth and go about your day, without having to worry about strips or trays. It works great and gives super white results with minimal sensitivity.
