Laser Teeth Whitening vs. Professional Teeth Whitening Trays: Which One Is Best?

Over time, it’s common for teeth to experience staining, discoloration, and yellowing. But there are options that can help!

Our team offers two professional teeth whitening methods: laser teeth whitening and at-home teeth whitening trays. To make an educated decision about which method is right for you, you should know how each method works.

Laser Teeth Whitening

Laser teeth whitening is an advanced method for achieving a noticeably brighter smile. While the laser doesn’t remove stains on its own, it activates a high-concentration whitening gel, typically made with hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which is applied by our team.

During a one-hour session, the laser helps accelerate the whitening process by breaking down stains both on the surface and beneath the enamel. Many patients see dramatic results – often several shades whiter – after just one treatment. It's a fast, effective way to boost your confidence and refresh your smile in a single visit.

Professional At-Home Teeth Whitening Treatment

Professional at-home whitening treatment is a convenient way to brighten your smile using specialized trays and a dentist-approved whitening gel. Our team will provide trays that allow for even whitening and minimal gum irritation. You’ll wear them daily for a short period – usually 30 to 60 minutes – for about 10 to 14 days. Most patients start seeing results within a few days, with full results by the end of treatment. These trays are also great for future touch-ups, giving you the flexibility to maintain your bright smile at home, on your schedule, with professional-level results.

Laser teeth whitening and professional teeth whitening treatment can be highly effective options for providing you with a brighter, more confident smile.
