Who Should Consider Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a suitable treatment for adults who have stained or yellowed teeth. Over time, it’s normal for teeth to lose their gleaming white appearance. This is due to eating or drinking staining foods and drinks, from age, and even from certain medications. White teeth aren’t just for celebrities, you can also have a picture perfect smile with help our simple procedure. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your smile, professional teeth whitening might be the right solution for you. Our only requirement for patients interested in teeth whitening is that they have healthy teeth in good condition. Whitening isn’t ideal for patients who have multiple restorations in their mouth because the restorations cannot whiten.
Why Not Use Over-The-Counter Whitening?
Many of our patients come in asking why we don’t recommend the whitening products that are sold in stores. There is a simple answer for that: they are not as effective. In-store whitening products are not given to you by your dentist, therefore they cannot contain as much bleaching concentration as the products we offer. This means that you will never be able to achieve the same results we can provide with over-the-counter whitening alone. Save yourself the time and money and opt for professional teeth whitening.
Not only will you not achieve as white of results, you might end up with uneven bleaching, damage to your enamel, or increased tooth sensitivity. It’s common for store whitening products to give you uneven whitening results because they are hard to apply evenly. Without custom-made trays or a dentist to administer the whitening solution, you can’t be sure you will end up with even results. In addition, without professional supervision, you can actually damage your enamel. This is possible when you don’t follow instructions correctly and leave the whitening solution on too long. Lastly, tooth sensitivity can significantly increase with over the counter products because the solution can get on your tooth roots or gums. This can be quite painful.
With over-the-counter whitening, you will also not be able to customize your whitening treatment. This means you will end up with whatever white shade the box will want to give you. When you opt for professional whitening, our dentists can customize your treatment to give you the results you want. Lastly, over-the-counter whitening products are not long-lasting. This can force you to pay for a new box of treatment every few months instead of every few years like you would in our office.
