Professional: Your best bet is to see your Dentist to determine if your teeth will respond to whitening to the degree that you desire. Many people do well with the OTC whitening strips. Your best treatment will be with the Dental team using custom trays and professional concentration whitening solution under their supervision. Of course, you must maintain them with excellent home care. Good Luck.

Teeth whitening: You can use over the counter tooth paste or crest 3D whitening strips or pens. However, they are not so effective and/or stable. OTC bleach and whitening tooth paste could be used as a supplement only. A professional teeth whitening without laser, followed by home whitening system with custom trays for the long term effect. You will be very happy with the results.

Many options: There are many options available. Make sure your teeth are clean before you start. You can try otc products commonly available in a pharmacy, but the techniques available in a dental office are much faster and more effective. Make sure your teeth are healthy before you do anything.

Depends..: Teeth are porous and therefore darken over time due to things we do, such as consuming staining types of foods (coffee, red wine, tea, grape juice, blue berries, etc) or smoking. So these may be contributing to the current tooth color, if you smoke, this is a great reason to stop. Seeing your dentist will help as they can explain various teeth whitening options and examine and clean your teeth.
