Are you considering whitening your teeth? You’re not alone. Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures in the world. In fact, a recent study found that nearly 90% of people think that having whiter teeth is attractive. There are many ways to achieve brighter teeth, but the two most common are professional teeth whitening and at-home teeth whitening kits. So, is one better than the other?
Well, they both have their pros and cons. The rise in popularity of at-home teeth whitening kits has many people whitening their teeth themselves. After all, these kits are inexpensive, easy to use, and can be ordered online and delivered right to your home. In fact, why not browse our at-home teeth-whitening kits? They’re a great way to start on your teeth whitening journey.
With all these benefits, why bother going into an office to have your teeth whitened? Well, there are many benefits to professional teeth whitening also. Teeth whitening with a dental professional often leads to better results than at-home kits, and you are more likely to avoid any side effects due to the experience and expertise of the dental professional undertaking the procedure.
The House of Mouth is now proud to offer a range of professional and affordable in-chair teeth whitening services on the Gold Coast at our relaxed boutique Burleigh Heads studio.
Now, let’s look at everything you need to know about at-home teeth whitening vs professional treatment, including how they compare, the pros and cons of each, and answers to many frequently asked questions surrounding teeth whitening.
At-Home Teeth Whitening vs. In-Chair Teeth Whitening
There are certain cases where in-chair teeth whitening will be superior to at-home teeth whitening for some people. First, professional teeth whitening is generally more effective due to the bleaching agents being much stronger than those found in over-the-counter products. This means that you will see faster results from a professional in-chair treatment.
Second, professional teeth whitening is generally safer. When you have your teeth professionally whitened, the dental professional undertaking the procedure will take measures to protect your gums and other tissues in your mouth from the bleaching agents. With at-home kits, you may not be using the products correctly, which could lead to irritation or even damage to your gums. That being said, at-home teeth whitening kits are rigorously tested and are themselves very safe, so long as you are careful.
Finally, at-home kits can be somewhat messy and time-consuming, while professional teeth whitening is quick and easy. Plus, you don’t have to worry about making a mistake that could damage your teeth or gums – you can just relax in a nice comfy chair!
Overall, professional teeth whitening is more effective and safer than at-home teeth whitening kits, but at-home teeth whitening kits are more convenient and usually cheaper.
Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to achieve noticeably whiter teeth in just one or two visits. The first step is to find a qualified dental professional who has experience performing in-chair teeth whitening procedures.
The results of professional teeth whitening are very fast and can last for several years with proper care. It is important to avoid foods and beverages that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, and red wine, and to brush and floss regularly to maintain your results. You should also schedule regular checkups to ensure that your teeth and gums remain healthy.
A whiter, brighter smile can make a lasting impression on those around you. If you are looking for an effective way to achieve noticeably whiter teeth, professional teeth whitening performed by a registered dental professional is the most effective option available.
Does Professional Teeth Whitening Damage Enamel?
Fortunately, professional teeth whitening has been shown to be completely safe and should not damage your enamel at all. In nearly all cases, professional teeth whitening is considered safe and effective and has significant benefits. Most professional whitening gels contain ingredients that actually help to strengthen the teeth and enamel whilst they whiten. In some cases, professional teeth whitening can lead to an increase in tooth sensitivity, however, this is usually only a short-term effect.
If you are considering professional teeth whitening, be sure to book a complimentary consult with one of our team members to determine the best treatment option for you.
Is Professional Teeth Whitening Safe?
Professional teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to achieve brighter, whiter teeth. With proper care and when administered by a dental professional, professional teeth whitening can give you a beautiful, bright smile through a risk-free and simple process.
Can I Brush My Teeth After Professional Teeth Whitening?
You should avoid brushing your teeth for at least a few hours after professional teeth whitening. Brushing too soon after whitening can cause the bleaching agents to become less effective, as well as increase sensitivity. If you must brush your teeth before this waiting period, be sure to use a very soft-bristled toothbrush, gentle strokes, and leave at least 2 hours between having your teeth whitened and brushing them
You should also avoid eating or drinking anything that could stain your teeth during this time – in fact, we’ve already covered the dos and don’ts after teeth whitening. By following these simple guidelines, you can help ensure that your results last as long as possible.
