The Advantages of Teeth Whitening at the Dentist’s Office
We all want whiter teeth. After all, we understand that a
bright, photogenic smile is a tremendous advantage in our day-to-day lives, and
what does more for your smile than whiter teeth?
When considering teeth
whitening, you have a few different options. But your primary choice is a
simple one: should I get my teeth whitened by my dentist at his office or
should I opt for over-the-counter, at-home treatments?
Many people are intrigued by the apparent convenience of
at-home treatments, and this is understandable. However, the fact remains that
teeth whitening at your local cosmetic
dentist’s office is almost always a superior option.
Put simply, teeth whitening at your dentist’s office is more
effective than the at-home kits you can buy at your local drug store. Because
big companies have to mass produce their teeth whitening products with a mind
toward making them attractive for a large audience, they cannot customize their
treatments for your specific needs.
As a result, while you might get some superficial whitening
on the front of your teeth from at-home treatments, you won’t get the thorough
whitening experience you want.
By contrast, your dentist will be able to customize your
tooth whitening for your unique requirements. He or she can design whitening
trays that are built for the specific purpose of giving you a thorough whitening.
Further, your dentist has access to whitening technology
that is more advanced than what you get over the counter. And it’s safer to
rely on the skilled, experienced hands of your dentist for your whitening.
If you are interested in home
whitening, talk to your dentist before making any purchases. He or she will
be able to give you advice, and most dentists offer take-home kits as
supplements to an office whitening.
