Why should I get my teeth professionally whitened?
A bright smile can boost your confidence, whether you’re preparing for a wedding, graduation, or simply want to feel your best. While store-bought whitening kits can help, professional teeth whitening offers safer, faster, and longer-lasting results.
The Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
Here are some reasons you should consider professional teeth whitening:
It’s effective. The bleaching agent dental offices use is stronger than at-home products and can also be tailored to your needs and the level of whiteness you desire.
It’s quicker. You can expect immediate results from a 30-minute to 1-hour appointment. Teeth can whiten around 8 shades in just one visit.
It’s thorough. Professional teeth whitening treatments remove both external and internal stains deep in the enamel.
It’s safer. Dentists who perform teeth whitening treatments are professionally trained, have the right tools, and can ensure you are in good oral health before beginning.
It lasts. In-office whitening can last around 3 years before it begins to fade, depending on your lifestyle habits, such as what you eat and drink, how well you clean your teeth, and if you smoke.
It can improve your confidence. Whiter teeth can boost your confidence in your smile and talking to other people, helping you to leave a great first impression.
The Downsides of At-Home Kits
Though at-home whitening treatments are convenient, they are not always the best option. For example:
They are one-size-fits-all and will not fit every person’s mouth.
They only remove surface stains.
Some ingredients are unsafe and can cause irritation or sensitivity.
It can take months for results to appear.
They only whiten teeth one or two shades in a matter of weeks or months.
