People / Jhett Thompson

From coffee and tea to curry and pasta sauce, many of our favorite foods (okay, sauces) and beverages can stain our teeth yellow, making them anything but pearly whites. And while some at-home teeth whitening kits can help lift away pesky surface stains, LED whitening kits utilize the power of technology to brighten and whiten more effectively.

“LED whitening kits help break down and remove stains that can buildup in between whitening treatments,” Dr. Michael Kosdon, DDS, tells PEOPLE. “These easy-to-use kits offer an inexpensive and effective way to maintain the whiteness of your smile in the comfort of your own home.” While LED whitening kits are more of an investment compared to other treatments, such as whitening strips, board-certified endodontist Dr. Alexa Martin says that they are worth the investment because “the light helps activate the bleaching ingredient that breaks down the pigmented molecules in your tooth, so everything works faster.”

With the benefits of LED teeth whitening devices on our minds, our PEOPLE Tested team set out to find the best options for sensitivity, stains, quick results, and more by conducting real-world testing of 19 top-rated kits. After weeks of testing, we narrowed it down to nine LED teeth whitening kits.

Our Ratings

  • Ease of Use 5/5
  • Comfort 5/5
  • Effectiveness 5/5
  • Convenience 5/5
  • Value 5/5

Pros

  • The LED light device is lightweight, and therefore never feels uncomfortable when holding it in your mouth
  • You can use the product up to four times daily for faster results
  • You can hardly feel the treatment on your teeth

Cons

  • At full price, it's a bit pricier compared to some other options we tested

Out of all the LED whitening kits we tested, the Crest Whitening Emulsion with LED Light impressed us the most. The Crest whitening kit might have a drugstore name, but the kit completely blew us away with how well it worked at whitening our teeth and how easy it was to use. Throughout the testing period, we were most impressed by how the teeth whitening product has a barely there feel that doesn't ever feel goopy and gross on the teeth. We also love how lightweight the LED device is; it never felt too heavy or uncomfortable during use. Although these are definitely perks, what sets the whitening kit apart from others is how often you can use it. According to Crest, the formula and LED light are safe enough to use up to four times per day for faster results, which we did notice when testing the product.

Our sole hangup with this product is its more expensive price tag (at full price) compared to some other options on our list, especially considering its a drugstore brand. However, we believe that the whitening kit is well worth the results — plus you can regularly find it on sale.

  2. Attach the syringe tip provided to the syringe. Apply a small line of Pola Day gel evenly along the inner front of the top and bottom of your Pola LED mouthpiece. TIP: Using the markings on the syringe as a guide, allow one sixth of the syringe (0.5g) per tooth whitening session for both top and bottom of the tray.
  3. Fit the Pola LED mouthpiece to your mouth and bite down, follow Activating Light Instructions Below
  4. After reaching your treatment duration, remove the mouthpiece and wipe away any excess gel/saliva with a dry tissue. Rinse the mouthpiece and wash it with lukewarm water. Do not submerge it in water.
  5. Rinse mouth or brush teeth once whitening session is complete.

Important

Storage

Store in a cool place, out of direct sunlight at temperatures between (2°-25°C / 35°-77°F).

How much whiter will my teeth be? Many teeth whitening manufacturers make claims of ‘5 shades’ whiter or similar. However, this can be misleading as it depends on the original shade of your teeth and the current staining on your teeth. Pola is formulated to remove the toughest stains from your teeth and return your teeth to their whitest natural color.

How long will my teeth stay white for? Your lifestyle is the greatest influence on your oral health. If you’re an avid drinker of coffee, wine or soft drinks, your teeth whitening will diminish quickly than someone who prefers water. Typically, your whitening will be at its best for the first 6 months, before slowly diminishing. Your Pola Luminate is a perfect instant touch up solution at anytime.

How much Pola Day gel do I apply? Only a small amount is required for each session. Do not overfill your mouthpiece, as gel may spill on to your gums and cause sensitivity. Using the markings on the syringe as a guide, allow one sixth of the syringe (0.5g) per tooth whitening session on both top and bottom of the tray.

Should I complete both treatments in one setting? For best results, we recommend completing the two applications one after the other.

Product Reviews

Have an auto-immune problem with my mouth which results in constant horrendous dry mouth, waking me at least 4-6 times during the night with no saliva, mouth like the desert. Bought first pack of XyliMelts Dry mouth melts - absolute life saver. Have been able to sleep through the night using them and am using them during the day as well. Brilliant product

I have been extremely happy with the excellent customer service from Daniel and Jasmyn. They helped me sort a postage issue simply and quickly and were very friendly, polite, and professional. They took lots of care with follow up emails too which I appreciated. The mint Xylimelt discs arrived quickly and were packaged really well. I will definitely keep dealing with House of Mouth from now on and highly recommend them.Thanks,Andrew :-)

So these guys are actually amazing to deal with. Super informative when you call up. I even did a click and collect order and they did a courtesy call to make sure I picked the right option to pick up instead of delivery. Absolutely no wonder they have a perfect 5-star rating.

I have ordered teeth whitening gel from here and their assistance was professional and extremely helpful. I then ordered new custom moulds of my teeth and the process was well explained and the service was prompt. I'm so pleased with House of Mouth, and will only order from them in the future. They're really that good!

My dentist did not provide a full amount of whitening gel to get through 30 days treatment. The cost of an extra gel from my dentist was high. I looked online and found THE HOUSE OF MOUTH. I ordered three extra gel syringes for the price of one from the dental surgery. Identical products 1/3 of the cost - WOW... THE HOUSE OF MOUTH has a great website and 5 STAR service. Thanks to all at THE HOUSE OF MOUTH.

I don't normally write reviews, but am making an exception for House of Mouth. The reason is that they provide a top notch service at a cost far less than you'd pay at the dentist. It costs a bundle to get a dentist to make those bleaching trays to whiten your pearlies. House of Mouth will do a perfect job for way less. And you don't have to go into an appointment - you can do it all by mail. Dan is lovely to deal with. And the whole process is easy.

Great products, fantastic prices and fabulous service from support staff, I had a issue on how to use a product that I had purchased and sent an email, I received a telephone call within a couple of hours and Daniel was so patient, I have spoken to a couple of telephone support staff and they are so nice,house of mouth is lucky to have such friendly and knowledgeable people.I would not purchase from anywhere else.You will go to house of mouth for their range and price but you will stay for their sales and support service.

My experience so far has been exceptional!I spoke with Daniel twice over the phone before ordering and he was patient and extremely informative in answering my wide array of questions. I received the whitening pack after just one day (express post) and I have already done my moulds and sent it back, let’s see what the results are from here!!

Do at home teeth whitening lights work?

LED teeth whitening kits can be an effective way to remove stains and keep your smile bright. However, every individual varies in how they respond to teeth whitening. Some people may experience tooth sensitivity or gum discomfort when using whitening products. This discomfort is usually temporary and not harmful.

Do home UV teeth whitening kits work?

Although home teeth whitening kits can be effective in whitening teeth, they can only really whiten teeth by a few shades. If you want a drastic change in teeth whiteness (i.e. you have severe teeth staining), home teeth whitening kits may not be enough. You may need multiple tries.

Do blue LED lights actually whiten teeth?

Blue light itself cannot whiten the teeth. Instead, blue light is used to activate a chemical reaction. You'll apply a specialized whitening gel to the patient's teeth containing either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide. The blue light activates the compounds in the gel and helps break it apart faster.

Are teeth whitening home kits any good?

Some home kits don't contain enough whitening product to be effective. Also, if a dental professional isn't doing the whitening, the mouthguard provided may not fit properly so some of the bleaching gel may leak out onto your gums and into your mouth, causing blistering and sensitivity.
