Are over-the-counter whitening strips effective?
Yes. Many of our patients achieve noticeable whitening from these strips. White strips are most effective for young patients, with well-aligned teeth, that exhibit mild darkening of the enamel. Many of our patients use these strips to touch up their teeth from time to time to maintain the results obtained from in-office professional bleaching. The doctors of Dental Associates at Pitman recommend professional strength Crest White Strips since these strips contain a higher concentration of bleaching material than the strips available in retail stores. For your convenience, Professional Strength Crest White Strips are available in our office.
