Advantages of Professional Teeth Whitening Services

teeth whitening

At-home teeth whitening kits have become very popular in recent years, but these products are not the best way to brighten your smile. In many cases, home kits use powerful chemicals that can damage your enamel and the underlying dentin. Professional teeth whitening treatments are a safe and effective alternative that can brighten your teeth without the discomfort.

The Truth Behind Tooth Discoloration

There is no doubt that impeccable oral hygiene habits are the first line of defense against tooth discoloration, but you could be fighting an uphill battle. Many of the foods and beverages you consume every day may penetrate the outer layers of your teeth and cause yellow or brown stains. Berries, coffee, tea, wine, curry and candy are some of the worst offenders, and they may cause discoloration when consumed regularly. Other daily habits such as smoking or using smokeless tobacco products may stain your teeth as well.

What Takes Place During a Professional Teeth Whitening Appointment?

These teeth whitening treatments can usually be finished in under an hour. We begin by inspecting the patient’s mouth to make sure there are no oral health issues that will affect the treatment. One of our team members will then apply an advanced whitening gel to your teeth. The final stage in this process is to activate the gel with a unique light. By using a light, we can cut down on your treatment time while still producing world-class results.

Avoiding Long-Term Damage

One of the most compelling reasons to choose professional teeth whitening treatments instead of a home whitening kit is the reduced risk to your health. Even if you carefully follow the instructions that come with your whitening kit, there is no guarantee that your teeth will remain undamaged. Leaving strips on for too long or allowing them to come in contact with your gums will not only be uncomfortable, but you might also experience inflammation and bleeding. Those who accidentally damage their enamel often have to deal with issues such as severe tooth sensitivity for the rest of their life.

Long-Lasting Results

Our teeth whitening treatments at Doctor’s Approach are designed to be as effective as possible without harming your teeth or gums. With our specialized activation light, the whitening gel can penetrate deep into the enamel in order to lift troublesome stains. Quite a few variables determine how long the results last, and results vary from person to person; however, many patients enjoy their bright, new smile for six to twelve months.
