There is some confusion regarding the use of home teeth whitening kits or solutions and the quality of work done by your dentist or dental office. When it comes to teeth whitening, there are several important differences that anyone should consider. The first consideration is the convenience getting to the end result. There's no question that a dentist is interested in your overall dental care. Therefore they are more likely to focus on healthy, usable teeth and less on esthetics. If you think about it, this is actually a good thing.

Understand that the quality of the teeth whitening however is very comparable. The dentist typically will use much stronger whitener gels to achieve faster results. They may also use a laser or blue light which when used with "special" gel is claimed to work even faster. Speed however is not the reason why you're considering getting your teeth whitened, it's for a brighter smile.
