Professional Teeth Whitening vs. Over-the-Counter Products
Buying products for teeth whitening from the store might seem like a tempting option, especially because they generally cost less. What some people do not know is that drugstore teeth whitening toothpastes, strips and mouthwashes have a few drawbacks. A few issues you may want to be aware of include:
- Increased tooth and gum sensitivity. Constant or improper use of certain tooth-whitening products can overexpose your teeth and gums to harsh chemicals. A professional tooth whitening service can keep your gums and teeth safe.
- Generalized treatment. Each patient has a slightly different oral structure. Our treatments are custom designed for your situation, but the supplies you buy over the counter are a one-size-fits-all style of treatment that might not work for you.
- Slower results. Although over-the-counter teeth whitening may lighten your teeth a shade or two, only professional whitening services give you the most brilliant results. Your teeth can be eight shades lighter with our professional teeth whitening service!
Before you purchase strips or other products from the store, talk to us about your professional teeth whitening options.
A Whiter Smile for Better Confidence
In our society, our smiles are one of the most important ways that we communicate. Yellowing or discolored teeth may hinder your smile, making you feel self-conscious. Our goal is to give you a brilliant new smile you will love to share.
Whether you are preparing for a job interview or a wedding, or you are just looking for a convenient, effective way to boost your confidence and feel great when you look in the mirror, teeth whitening may be the answer.
Why Are My Teeth Discolored?
Your teeth may change color for a number of reasons, including:
- Aging
- Darkly pigmented food and drink
- Poor brushing habits
- Certain diseases or medications
- Tobacco
- Genetics
- Damage or decay
Fortunately, your teeth do not have to stay yellow. Regardless of what stained your teeth in the first place, professional teeth whitening can brighten your smile and give you the confidence boost you need!
Can You Benefit From Teeth Whitening?
If your teeth are not obviously yellow or stained, you might not feel as though teeth whitening could do anything for you. Not true! Teeth whitening can significantly brighten any smile, even if your teeth are not noticeably in need of a whitening. You will be amazed at what a difference teeth whitening can make for even an ordinary smile.
Who Is a Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
If you are an adult with healthy permanent teeth, you are almost certainly a good candidate for teeth whitening. There are only a few circumstances where we might recommend waiting before whitening. Those include:
- Age. Teeth whitening is a procedure that is best saved for adults, so you or your loved one should be over age 18 before whitening.
- Health. Dental health takes priority over aesthetics, so if you are experiencing gum disease or any kind of dental health problem, it is important to address that first.
- Dental Work. If you have had extensive dental work done — such as dentures, multiple implants or crowns — teeth whitening might not be as effective.
- Preferences. We want our whitening process to meet your expectations. If you only have one discolored tooth, for example, a different treatment might fit your needs better.
No matter what your current dental health status is or what you would like your smile to look like, we are here to help! You deserve a smile you are proud of, and we want to help you get it.
