What Are the Different Types of Teeth Whitening Methods?
For those looking for a dental whitening service in Jackson, New Jersey, there are several options available. The whitening method used by Dr. Balaji Srinivasan may offer the best possible results, but that method is one of a plethora of teeth-whitening solutions. Here is a look at some teeth whitening procedures and why you should consider Aesthetic Dental Creations for the best results.
Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening Products
You can find many teeth-whitening products at local stores and pharmacies. Typically, these products include things like whitening toothpaste and rinses. Some of the typical ingredients found in teeth whitening products can consist of:
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Carbamide peroxide
- Sodium hydroxide
- Sodium fluoride
- Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
The peroxides do most of the heavy lifting, but OTC products can have a variety of active and inactive ingredients.
OTC products can help with some surface staining, but the abrasive nature of the products isn’t ideal for frequent use or heavy staining. Sometimes, these products can work well for maintaining tooth brightness after you undergo a more robust whitening process.
Over-the-Counter Whitening Kits and Systems
You can purchase a whitening kit or system that you can use at home. These kits usually come as gels, pastes, and strips that you can apply to your teeth. Some kits involve using trays containing the bleaching agents.
These systems will usually show results after several weeks of dedicated use. Because people can purchase these kits and systems OTC, they don’t have the same strength as the solutions you can receive from a dentist.

In-Office Tooth Whitening
Dentists offer several whitening methods, many of which mirror what you can find OTC. The significant difference is the personalization and higher concentrations of the active bleaching ingredients. Personalization is important, as no two people have the same needs when it comes to teeth whitening.
The dentist teeth whitening procedure offered at Aesthetic Dental Creations includes a proprietary gel and tray system that can handle even severely stained teeth. Due to the refinement of the process by Dr. Balaji Srinivasan, this procedure even works well for people with sensitive teeth who were previously hesitant about whitening procedures.
