We are obssessed with helping people develop the smile of their dreams, and one of the ways we do that is by providing the best teeth-whitening products of 2024.

We’ve assisted over 100,000 clients to brighten their days by brightening their smile, so we can help you choose products backed by genuine results from satisfied customers.

For each product category, we’ll break down what the criteria we evaluate to determine the best product.

Best Teeth Whitening Gels

The best teeth whitening gels feature active ingredients like hydrogen or carbamide peroxide. These agents work to penetrate and bleach tooth enamel, lifting stains for a whiter smile.

Ideal gels balance potency with safety, minimising tooth sensitivity while maximising whitening results.

Quality gels often include desensitising components and are designed for compatibility with custom trays for an even application.

Below are the four best teeth whitening gel options, based on the advice of our expert team.

Best Overall: Opalescence 16% Carbamide Peroxide Teeth Whitening Gel

Opalescence 16% Carbamide Peroxide Teeth Whitening Gel is the best choice for those seeking a balanced approach to teeth whitening. Its 16% carbamide peroxide concentration provides a potent yet gentle whitening effect, effectively lifting stains while minimising tooth sensitivity.

This gel is notable for its sustained release formula, ensuring a longer duration of action for lasting results. The Opalescence gel is uniquely formulated with potassium nitrate and fluoride, enhancing tooth health by reducing sensitivity and strengthening enamel.

Its thick, sticky consistency ensures the gel stays securely in place in custom trays, providing an even and effective whitening experience.

Best Teeth Whitening Kits

The best teeth whitening kits prioritise superior whitening performance, featuring potent active ingredients like hydrogen or carbamide peroxide for effective stain removal. High-quality trays or strips ensure optimal gel application and coverage.

Another thing we look for is kits with customisable teeth whitening trays as they ensure the most tailored and effective whitening experience. Key elements also include desensitising agents to reduce sensitivity, ease of use, and provide visible results in a practical timeframe, with clear instructions for user convenience.

With this in mind, let’s take a look at our three most reliable kits.

Best Teeth Whitening Trays

The best teeth whitening trays excel in providing a snug, custom fit to ensure even coverage of whitening gel on teeth.

Quality trays are typically made from durable, comfortable materials and are designed to minimise gel leakage, maximising contact with teeth while protecting gums. We have also found that customisable or professionally fitted options offer superior results. We recommend two options depending on whether you want a custom or budget choice.

Best Overall: Custom Fit Trays – Trays Only Package

Our House of Mouth Custom Fit Trays are our top-rated teeth whitening tray and includes all of the qualities we mentioned above. These trays are tailor-made for your unique teeth structure, ensuring a snug fit and even coverage of whitening gel across all teeth surfaces.

These trays are compatible with whitening gels up to 6% hydrogen peroxide or 18% carbamide peroxide. They offer effective gel coverage, but are not as precise as custom-fitted trays. Made from durable silicone, these trays also reduce gel leakage and protect the gums.

Including three trays per pack adds to their value, making them a practical choice for those seeking a balance between quality and cost-effectiveness.

Best Teeth Whitening Pens

The best teeth whitening pens offer convenience, portability, and ease of use. They typically contain effective whitening agents like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide in safe concentrations.

Best Teeth Whitening Toothpaste

The best teeth whitening toothpastes effectively remove surface stains while being gentle on enamel.

Key components like potassium nitrate reduce sensitivity, making them suitable for regular use, while fluoride aids in cavity prevention and overall dental health maintenance.

Let’s take a look at our top-rated whitening toothpaste.

Best Overall: Opalescence Teeth Whitening Toothpaste Sensitivity Relief 133g

Opalescence Teeth Whitening Toothpaste Sensitivity Relief is a standout choice for maintaining a bright, white smile while managing tooth sensitivity.

Best Teeth Whitening Strips

The best teeth whitening strips are effective due to their ability to adhere well to teeth, ensuring consistent contact with the whitening agent, typically hydrogen or carbamide peroxide.

They are designed for ease of use, comfortable wear, and minimal gum irritation. Quality strips provide noticeable whitening results within a practical timeframe and are safe for enamel.

Best Overall: Oral B 3DWhite Advance Seal Teeth Whitening Strips

Oral B’s whitening strips are an ideal choice for those seeking quick, noticeable results and a brighter smile, without a visit to the dentist.

Best Teeth Whitening Gum

The best teeth whitening gums are formulated with ingredients like xylitol and baking soda that help reduce stains and promote oral hygiene. They stimulate saliva production, which naturally cleanses the mouth, neutralising acids and preventing tooth decay.

These gums don’t contain sugar, preventing further staining, and often include mild abrasives to gently polish teeth.

Best Overall: Aftersmile Whitening Oral Care Chewing Gum

Aftersmile Oral Care Whitening Chewing Gum offers an easy and effective way to maintain dental hygiene and whiten teeth. Its formula, rich in xylitol, combats plaque, while micro granules tackle tough stains. Sodium Bicarbonate and Calcium Carbonate also work together to lessen discolouration.
