Did you recently notice that your pearly whites aren’t quite living up to their name? If so, you have two options: store-bought products or professional whitening treatments. If you haven’t made up your mind yet, but you’re leaning toward the latter, here’s why you won’t regret it!
Reason #1: Boosted Confidence
Of course, one of the biggest perks of professional teeth whitening treatments is that they are reliable, safe, and effective. In fact, your dentist can lighten your teeth by eight shades in a single visit! They will also share what to do (as well as a few things to avoid) to preserve your beautiful results. That way, you look and feel your best no matter what the occasion is.
Reason #2: Better Oral Health
You might be surprised to hear this, but it’s true! The stain-lifting process starts with a comprehensive oral exam to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy. If they aren’t, that’s okay – your dentist can provide the restorative care necessary, potentially saving you from a dental emergency in the process.
It’s also worth mentioning that, if you have a smile you love, you’re more likely to care for it. Consistently brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash to prevent stubborn stains from resurfacing will also help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other common dental problems.
Reason #3: Custom Care
To put it simply, over-the-counter kits use one-size-fits-all applicators and diluted whitening gels, which is why they consistently underdeliver. Professional treatments, on the other hand, are created with your unique dental needs and smile goals in mind, including whether or not you have existing dental work and how subtle or dramatic you want the final result to be.
Reason #4: Quick Results
With store-bought products, it can take 4+ weeks of consistent use to achieve minimal improvements. That’s not the case with professional treatments! While take-home kits can lift stubborn stains in just two weeks, in-office treatments can give you the gorgeous results you desire in a single visit.
