Professional Bleaching Delivers Superior Results
To achieve a brilliantly white and beautiful smile, it's essential to use a powerful whitening solution. Professional teeth whitening uses a stronger peroxide-based solution than those found in store-bought products. This professional-grade solution penetrates deeper into the enamel to eliminate both surface and deeper stains, delivering more dramatic results. In contrast, over-the-counter products often only lighten surface stains, leaving teeth looking only slightly whiter. For faster, more effective whitening in the Canton area, schedule your appointment with us.
Is At-Home Teeth Whitening a Good Option?
When deciding between home teeth whitening and professional treatments, consider your goals and the condition of your teeth. For minor yellowing, over-the-counter products might offer some improvement. However, for noticeable stains or a dramatic whitening effect, a professional treatment is usually the better choice.
- Duration of Application: Effective whitening requires the solution to remain on your teeth for a sufficient period. Whitening pens and toothpastes often wash off too quickly to make a significant difference. Store-bought strips can also be ineffective due to slipping and reduced contact time.
- Depth of Penetration: To truly remove stains, the whitening solution must penetrate beneath the enamel. Professional treatments ensure this deep penetration, whereas most over-the-counter products only address surface stains.
- Custom Fit: For at-home whitening, you can still achieve professional results by using custom whitening trays made by your dentist. These trays fit perfectly, preventing leaks and ensuring that the whitening solution stays in place, unlike generic store-bought trays.
If you're in the Canton area, we recommend scheduling an appointment with us to explore the advantages of professional teeth whitening over at-home solutions.
Key Points About Natural Teeth Whitening Solutions
Many people assume that natural remedies are always safe and effective. However, natural teeth whitening solutions can potentially harm your teeth. These methods often use acidic ingredients, such as lemon or lime, to remove stains. While these acids may make your teeth appear whiter, they can also erode enamel, leading to increased sensitivity and long-term damage.
Warning!
At-home teeth whitening can cause permanent damage. Your teeth are protected by enamel, which, once lost, cannot be replaced. Beneath the enamel is dentin, which contains nerve endings. When enamel erodes, dentin becomes exposed, leading to increased sensitivity and discomfort while eating and drinking.
Overexposure to whitening solutions can erode enamel, causing lasting damage. Applying the solution for too long or whitening too frequently can exacerbate this risk. Professional teeth whitening at Canton-Plymouth Family Dentistry ensures that the process is safe and effective. We use the correct amount of solution and remove it before causing irritation. While at-home whitening may seem cost-effective, the risk of damage can lead to more significant expenses for corrective treatments later. For a safe and effective whitening experience, contact us at (734) 999-3344 to schedule a professional treatment.
