Alternatives to chair side teeth whitening include teeth whitening gel systems, available to the general public. These can be either over the counter (otc) or dentist supervised. Gel systems typically involve the use of a mouth guard and is generally applied over the course of several minutes for a specified number of days. While a somewhat slower process than an in office procedure, they are quicker when compared to teeth whitening strips. There are fewer risks associated with using an whitening gel system at home. In addition, the bleaching agent contained in these types of systems is typically less than a 10% hydrogen peroxide equivalent.

Over the counter whitening gel systems are designed to usually last about 12 months, compared to an average of 3 years with a dentist administered gel system. The prices range dramatically and is based upon the levels of chemicals being used. It is strongly advised that you consult with your dental provider before purchasing a more expensive whitening system. It may actually be better, as well as more affordable, to begin your whitening treatment with a lower level of chemicals, as it contains minimum side effects. For extremely yellow, stained teeth, more doses may need to be applied and an over the counter teeth whitening system may not be a good option if you are looking to whiten you teeth. In this case, consider using the services of a dental professional for better results.
