Post image for Beware of Whitening Teeth at Home

It’s a wonder why half of America will whiten their teeth at home rather than do the same thing at a dentist’s office with a professional. Although doing this simple procedure at home is inexpensive and convenient there can be some downfalls.

* Over-the-counter teeth whitening products don’t work on veneers, caps, dentures, crowns or fillings
* Almost every tray is a one-size-fits-all that may not work on everyone
