Both options deliver drastic teeth whitening results but in unique ways. If you are wondering which treatment is right for you, this overview will help. Dr. Helen Ragsdale has more than 25 years of experience offering cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening.

Teeth Whitening Treatments Offered at Austin Laser Dentist
If you have tried over-the-counter teeth whitening kits, you may be understandably disappointed with the results. While store-bought kits contain as little as 3 percent hydrogen peroxide, our treatments have concentrations of 20 to 35 percent. This is just one reason why store-bought kits simply cannot deliver the cosmetic results our Austin office can. If you are ready for a brighter, whiter smile, Austin Laser Dentist offers:
- LaserSmile: LaserSmile is a fast and convenient treatment to whiten teeth nine shades lighter in one hour.
- Zoom!: Uses light-activated hydrogen peroxide gel to whiten teeth instantly. This treatment option includes one syringe for at-home touch-ups.
- Turbo At-Home: After our patients have custom whitening trays made, the 22 percent carbamide peroxide can be used at home for one-hour increments for seven to 10 days.
- Specials Bleach Refills: Our office offers $95 replacement kits.
Which Option is Best for Me?
If you prefer to complete your whitening treatment in one session, you may be a good candidate for in-office treatments. During your in-office procedure, you will be fitted with a custom mouth tray. Our staff will take special care to protect your gums from the bleaching agent. To do this, a special gel may be applied to your gums to provide a barrier to the whitening gel. Many of our whitening agents deliver better results when a special light is used in conjunction with the gel. Most procedures can be completed under our close supervision in around an hour.
The main benefit of take-home kits is that you can complete the treatments at a time and place that works best for you. The in-home option is often more cost effective as well. You will not have the benefit of supervision from our staff, though. The take-home kits include a mouthguard and whitening gels that must be placed in small amounts on the mouthguards. The total length of time the mouthguards are worn will depend on the concentration of the whitening agent.
Which Option is Best for Me?
No matter which option you chose, you can enjoy a drastically brighter smile once your cosmetic treatments are completed. A few of these benefits include:
- A whiter smile can boost self-confidence
- Whiter teeth look younger
- Teeth whitening treatments are convenient
- Teeth whitening treatments are non-invasive
- Whiter teeth are attractive
- The cosmetic results are easy to maintain
- Whiter teeth encourage better oral hygiene habits
- Whitening treatments have no side effects for most patients
