At-home teeth whitening kits have become increasingly popular. After all, they are convenient and affordable. However, the effectiveness of these do-it-yourself treatments cannot compare to in-office professional teeth whitening when it comes to the results. If you’re considering whitening at home or are doing so and not seeing the results you’d like, consider these benefits of professional teeth whitening.
Faster Results
At-home whitening kits can take up to a month before you even see the slightest result. On the other hand, a professional teeth whitening offers immediate results without the wait, in as little as just one hour.
Better Results
The purpose of using a teeth whitener is obviously to achieve a whiter smile. At-home kits simply don’t produce teeth that are as white as a professional whitening session can offer. Our specialists are trained to utilize products that are stronger and more effective than store-bought kits.
Safer Application
Despite the fact that home whitening kits are sold over the counter, there are still some risks involved in their use, especially if they are used improperly. Having your teeth professionally whitened eliminates the majority of user error that can occur from doing it yourself. Pain and discomfort, along with unsatisfactory results, often occur through user error.
Easier on Sensitive Teeth
Many people experience sensitivity to cold, hot, or different kinds of substances that cause tooth irritation. The ingredients in DIY whitening kits can cause pain or discomfort by irritating the teeth or gums. Going to see a professional is a far safer and less painful option for anyone with sensitive teeth and gums.
Individualized Treatment
At-home do-it-yourself kits are mass produced. They’re made to fit the needs of most people in a cost-efficient manner. That means they aren’t meant to treat individual issues, such as deep, set-in stains. The results are bound to be less than stellar when the design is meant to be as broad as possible. In fact, you’re likely to end up with uneven results, with some teeth being white while others appear untouched. Our treatment providers can take the time to address each tooth with the proper product, paying special attention to your unique and personalized needs.
