While fashion trends come and go, there’s something that’s always in style: a stunningly bright smile. Given the array of toothpastes, whitening strips and other methods on the market, it may be tempting to opt for the DIY approach at home. At-home whitening with an OTC method may yield some results, but visiting the dentist for this cosmetic service has distinct advantages:
Effectiveness: Professional teeth whitening performed by a dentist is more effective in achieving significant and long-lasting results compared to over-the-counter products.
Customisation: Dentists can adjust the strength of brightening agents and provide personalised treatment plans for optimal results.
Safety: While OTC products can be generally safe when used as directed, professional teeth whitening under the supervision of a dentist ensures higher safety. Dentists can evaluate oral health conditions and recommend the most suitable whitening approach, minimising the risk of potential complications.
Efficiency: Getting this cosmetic service done at the dentist usually yields faster and more noticeable results compared to over-the-counter products. In-office treatments often involve stronger whitening agents and advanced technologies, allowing for quicker results.
Longevity: Professional teeth brightening provides longer-lasting results compared to over-the-counter products. Dentists can provide guidance on post-treatment care and maintenance to help prolong the effects of the in-office process.
