Does laser teeth whitening really work that dramatically?

I've actually had it done once before forking over $500 but I did it a few months after I was whitening my teeth with Nite White ("professional stuff") which worked amazingly but was oh so sensitizing to my teeth, lol. Anywho, I noticed hardly any results after I got them laser whitened but remarkably when they sent me the before and after pics back my teeth were veneer white! ha Enchanced...mmmm yea (Photoshop pro here) My concern now is since Nite White worked wonders yet I don't want to deal with the major sensitivity issue day by day while using it, do you think I should try a different dentist or laser whitening?
--------------------
At-home whitening supervised by a dentist will give you less sensitivity but take a little bit longer. The dentist will make trays for you to fit your teeth, and then you put the bleaching solution in them. The good thing about them is that you can adjust the amount of time you wear the trays for if you have sensitivity. Usually they are worn overnight, but if that causes a problem for you you can wear them 2-6 hours a day and the sensitivity should lessen. Yes, it will take longer to whiten, a couple weeks at least, but your teeth will not hurt so much.
