What's white enough for you may or may not be white enough for someone else.
The OP was asking for other people's experience with tooth whitening
at a dental office. Your post did not answer the OP's question any way. I am still amazed how you can take EVERY. SINGLE. THREAD. and turn it into a personal history essay.
To the OP - teeth whitening done in a dental office is used with products that are much stronger in concentrations of H2O2 than what you will find OTC. Whitening is generally achieved via a 1 hour in-office visit (the most popular brand is "ZOOM!" Whitening) or the dentist will make custom trays for your mouth and dispense the whitening gel for your to apply at home at a schedule that depends on your desires. They can cause mild to extreme sensitivity, generally lasting about 24-48 hours but occasionally longer. The majority of the time the sensitivity diminishes completely once you stop using the product. The results of your whitening will vary greatly depending on the condition of your mouth beforehand as well as your dietary and social habits such as smoking. For more information on teeth whitening at a dental office, consult your dentist.
