Yes. Consulting your dental professional is always the first step to whitening your teeth safely. Over-the-counter tooth whitening strips, brush-on gels and toothpastes can take weeks or months to whiten your teeth just a few shades. Certain professional in-office whitening procedures are clinically proven to whiten your teeth an average of six to eight shades in one hour. Only a dentist can get your teeth this white, this fast.
