The difference between whitening products is basically whether they are using bleaching agents, that work on and deep into the *natural tooth enamel OR just at surface level using physical or chemical agents like sodium bicarbonate found in whitening tooth pastes.

*Note:  Natural tooth enamel, not dental work like veneers, bonding, dentures etc.

Bleaching solutions that dentists use, most commonly contain carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide based solution.  

In the past, the system would be basically as follows. Upon a dental visit a mold impression is made of your teeth, where it is then sent off to a dental lab.  The dental lab creates, what is called a tray, which is a closely fitting mouth tray custom to your teeth.  Upon several  subsequent visits (three-four depending on the strength of the bleaching solution), you would sit for 1-2 hours with your trays in your mouth.  Gradually, over the visits, your teeth whiten.

That "in office" teeth bleaching system has undergone some improvement.  

Now your dentist will custom fit your teeth with trays through the dental lab, but send you home with the tray and peroxide solution to wear in the comfort of your own home.  Most often during your sleep.  "Zoom! Weekender, Night White" is probably the most popular using the equivalent of 6%, 10%, and 22% strength carbamide peroxide with hydrogen peroxide in a patent pending gel formula that is said to whiten your teeth up to six shades in three nights.  All formulations and materials are dispensed by your dentist.

An "In Home" Alternative That Delivers Excellent Results

If price is a concern, and for many of us it is, an alternative to the high cost system via your dentist (said to be in the $ 500.00 range) is choosing one of the growing number of professional dental labs that now deal direct to the public. If your teeth are healthy and don't have extensive dental work, you are probably a good candidate.  In fact, you can duplicate the exact system of your dentist through teeth whitening systems like this one.  Professional Teeth Whitening- lab direct, at huge savings, with a money back guarantee, and professional results.

THE "In Office" Bleaching System That Is Better...

The greatest bleaching system available is performed "in  office" by your dentist and can not be replicated at home because it involves specialty dental expertise, materials and lighting.  It is referred to as laser teeth whitening.  Basically this process involves a very high concentration of peroxide based gel applied to your teeth and a special type of light, that is then directed on the teeth, activating the special  bleaching properties.  

One of the most popular systems getting a lot of attention is the " Zoom! In Office Whitening System " .  According to its makers, Discus Dental, in just over an hour teeth will be on average 6-10 shades whiter.  That's pretty impressive.  

A limitation to this procedure is, of course, the price.  Approximately $1000 - $1500. 

The best "bang for your buck" system available are those offered by dental labs using custom developed trays with high concentration carbamide peroxide (such as 21%).  If your teeth are healthy and don't have extensive dental work, you are probably a good candidate.  

Get whiter teeth within days... this lab offers a risk free money back guarantee, has excellent product information and rave reviews by their customers.
