According to the reference material, in-office whitening is highly effective, safe, and long-lasting. However, it's important to consider the cost implications, as it is more expensive than over-the-counter options and often not covered by dental insurance. It is recommended to ask your dentist for a cost estimate before proceeding.
Here's a breakdown of what makes dentist-supervised teeth whitening safe and effective:
