The Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening vs. Over-the-Counter Products
Do you find yourself constantly trying over-the-counter teeth whitening products, only to be disappointed by the lack of results? It’s time to consider professional teeth whitening at Valley Dental Care. Not only does professional teeth whitening offer better results, but it has several other benefits compared to over-the-counter (OTC) products that are worth considering.
What is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Zoom! Professional teeth whitening is a treatment that is carried out by a licensed dentist in their office. Although there are different types of professional teeth whitening, the most common method is using a high-concentration bleaching agent that is applied to the teeth. This solution breaks down the stains and discoloration on the enamel, giving you a brighter and whiter smile in just one session.
Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening Products
OTC teeth whitening products have become more popular over time and come in different forms such as toothpaste, gels, strips, and trays. The active ingredient in most of these products is hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide – bleaching agents that when used correctly, can brighten teeth by breaking down surface-level stains. While it may be tempting and convenient to go for OTC whitening products, they have some limitations and drawbacks when used without professional guidance.
Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening vs. OTC Products
1. Customized Treatment
Each patient’s teeth whitening needs are different; some forms of teeth stains are more challenging to treat than others. An experienced dentist will customize the treatment to your needs and recommend professional-grade products with higher concentrations of the bleaching agent to guarantee better, long-lasting results compared to off-the-shelf products.
2. Safety
One of the primary concerns of DIY teeth whitening products is that if used improperly, they could cause problems, such as irritation to the gums and tooth sensitivity. In contrast, professional teeth whitening is carried out by a licensed dentist who takes all the necessary precautions to ensure that the treatment is performed safely and that any side effects are addressed promptly.
3. Better Results
Professional teeth whitening delivers faster and noticeably better results compared to OTC alternatives. Because dentists use higher-quality products and cutting-edge equipment, they can remove the toughest stains on both the surface and below the enamel, leaving your teeth gleaming bright white that lasts longer.
4. Enhanced Oral Health
Teeth whitening itself enhances oral hygiene – this is because regular teeth whitening visits with a dentist will keep your teeth sparkling clean by removing stubborn stains and minimizing the amount of plaque built up on your teeth.
