Is Professional Teeth Whitening Better?

July 29, 2021 4:42 pm | Published by Vista Ridge Family Dentistry

So you know you want to whiten your teeth and now you’re just trying to decide how exactly to go about it. On the one hand, you can go to a dentist to get a professional treatment, and on the other hand, you can handle things yourself with store-bought products or DIY remedies. Which is actually better? Let’s discuss!

What You Get with Professional Teeth Whitening

Getting your teeth whitened professionally comes with a number of benefits. For starters, you’ll have a trained team that customizes your treatment and watches over every step to ensure its efficacy and safety. That also decreases your chance of experiencing tooth sensitivity during the procedure. In addition, they’ll be using professional-strength materials, which means more dramatic and noticeable results.

Since professional teeth whitening can be offered as a take-home treatment as well as an in-office treatment, you can continue to have that extra convenience that comes with self-done whitening.

The Realities of DIY Teeth Whitening

The fact is, whitening your teeth on your own with whatever products you find at the store or with a remedy you make at home won’t be as effective or as safe as what you get from a dentist’s office. Worst case scenario, using the wrong technique may even end up damaging your tooth enamel in the long run. If you’re going to invest in improving your smile, you want to make sure that you get worthwhile results and that’s something you can guarantee when you leave things in the hands of a professional.

If you’re interested in getting your teeth professionally whitened, come down to Vista Ridge Family Dentistry in Cedar Park for a one-on-one consultation. We offer both one-visit whitening as well as take-home whitening as part of our cosmetic dental services. Our experienced team is happy to help you determine which is best for your smile needs and lifestyle. Just call or email us today to book your appointment!
