Your smile is one of the first things that people notice when you meet for the first time. When our teeth look fantastic, that first impression will most assuredly be a good one! Unfortunately our teeth will slowly stain over years of constant exposure to various types of food and drinks, giving them a dull yellow appearance. Luckily there are various types of teeth whitening options available, but is it worth getting them done professionally or would an over the counter whitening kit suffice? Today we’ll go over the benefits of professional teeth whitening.
Faster Results
If you are looking for a quick fix, dentists have access to more powerful whitening tools that will give you faster results. You may be getting ready for a wedding, have an important meeting coming up, or maybe you’re simply tired of stained teeth, professional whitening is guaranteed to work quickly.
More Effective
Over the counter teeth whitening kits will be a lower dosage of active ingredients because they have to be approved for home use. Dentists have special training to utilize more powerful whitening treatments that aren’t available to the public over the counter. This is another reason at-home treatments are slower than professional treatments.
