1 Step 1: Pick a method by budget
Step 1: Pick a method by budget
Whitening strips ($40) for first-timers. Custom tray + gel ($80-150) for repeatable. LED kits work but mostly for show.
Crest 3D White Strips Professional Effects
Most-used at-home whitening. 20 treatments. ~$45-60.
Opalescence Go pre-filled trays
Dentist-grade gel in pre-made trays. ~$60-80.
Smile Direct custom whitening tray + gel
Pricier but reusable trays. ~$130.
2 Step 2: Brush before applying
Step 2: Brush before applying
Clean teeth absorb gel better. Don't whiten over plaque.
Floss + brush 10 min before treatment
Plaque blocks the gel. Clean surface = better results.
3 Step 3: Use sensitivity toothpaste 2 weeks BEFORE + during
Step 3: Use sensitivity toothpaste 2 weeks BEFORE + during
Whitening causes sensitivity in 60%+ of people. Sensodyne or similar before and during reduces it dramatically.
Sensodyne Pronamel toothpaste
Start 2 weeks before whitening. Continue through treatment. ~$8.
Take 600 mg ibuprofen if pain hits
Reduces inflammation. Don't whiten without sensitivity precautions if pain is severe.

Step 4: Apply per package instructions
Don't exceed time. More isn't better — increases sensitivity without improving results.
Crest Strips: 30 min, once daily, 20 days
Follow box. Don't extend session.
Custom tray gels: 30-60 min depending on concentration
Higher % = shorter time.
Avoid coffee/wine 1 hr before + 1 hr after
Open pores absorb stain. Wait an hour.
5 Step 5: Maintain with whitening toothpaste
Step 5: Maintain with whitening toothpaste
Whitening pastes maintain shade between treatments. Use 2-3x per week — daily is too abrasive.
