What is your recommendation for a home bleaching product?

There are many tooth bleaching products available today, most of which are fairly comparable in quality. Probably, the two most well-known companies for bleaching are Ultradent Products, Inc., and Discus Dental. Ultradent Products has the product line called Opalescence. These home bleaching products come in three different strengths (10%, 15%, and 20% carbamide peroxide) for patients with differing levels of sensitivity. Opalescence also contains sodium fluoride to help with sensitivity.

Discus Dental has the in-office system called ZOOM!, which is very popular. For home products, they sell NiteWhite ACP, which comes in three strengths (10%, 16%, 22% carbamide peroxide). This product also contains amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), which will remineralize tooth structure according to the manufacturer. DayWhite is another bleaching product by Discus Dental that contains hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide has a faster acting time, which makes it easier to wear for short periods of time during the day.

Both of these product lines provide excellent results.
