Whitening toothpastes, strips, gels, trays, and mouthwashes fill oral hygiene aisles of many stores. Most promise to provide incredible results in just a few uses. Unfortunately, these products don’t usually live up to expectations, and even though some people will experience a small difference in the color of their teeth, the cost, effort, and time it took to get there isn’t always worth it.

Fortunately, there’s another option! Professional teeth whitening is a quick, non-invasive, and extremely effective way to brighten almost any smile. As dental professionals, we know what it takes to make a dull, yellow smile, bright and vibrant.

Want to know more? Here are five reasons to consider professional teeth whitening:  

1.    Immediate, incredible results

Store-bought teeth whitening kits often take weeks or months to provide the slightest results. With professional teeth whitening, patients experience same-day transformations!

Dental professionals are trained to use products that are much more potent (but still safe) so that patients can gain a smile that’s up to eight shades brighter in about 60 minutes. No at-home whitening products can offer that kind of outcome!

2.    Customized treatment

Who better to help you gain a picture-perfect smile than someone who specializes in teeth? Dentists don’t treat every patient the same when it comes to teeth whitening, because every smile is unique. You can expect to have a discussion with your dentist about the shade you desire.

During treatment, the dentist will know the precise amount of whitening gel to put on your teeth and how many times to get you to the color previously discussed.

3.    Safer than over-the-counter options

All professional whitening gels are approved by the American Dental Association. Store-bought whitening treatments are less potent than professional materials, but that doesn’t equal a safer product.

Using a product too frequently or using too much of it can lead to soft tissue and enamel damage. This type of damage can inhibit a person’s ability to receive professional treatments in the future and may lead to dental sensitivity.

4.    Convenience

After a long, hard day of work and other responsibilities, the last thing you want is to add one more thing to your list. At-home whitening treatments can take a lot of time and effort that you may not have in the evenings.

When you visit the dentist for whitening treatment, you can achieve even better results in a one-time appointment. Most people schedule teeth whitening appointments every year or every two years, depending on how long the results last. Think about how much time and effort you can save by simply going to the dentist’s office!

5.    Boost of confidence

One of the greatest benefits of professional whitening is the immediate confidence boost. If you find yourself shying away from the camera, covering your mouth while laughing, or just feeling insecure because of the color of your teeth, professional whitening treatments are just what you need.

Imagine how feeling confident enough to speak up in a work meeting, go on a blind date, or enjoying family photo sessions will change your life.
