A bright, white and attractive smile is often thought of as being a hallmark of health, happiness, and success in life. If your teeth aren’t naturally all that white – don’t panic. This is very normal. Fortunately, it is now easier than ever to improve the color of your teeth thanks to teeth whitening products and procedures. Although there are countless products that state that they can remove stains and discoloration from your teeth, and lighten their overall color, the results of many of these treatments are mediocre and very temporary. Studies have found that the very best way to see a long-term and significant improvement in the color of your smile is to undergo professional teeth whitening. This is where the procedure is carried out in the comfort of your dentist’s offices, by trained and experienced professionals.

So, what makes professional teeth whitening superior? Is it worth the extra cost? Absolutely! Here’s what you need to know about the benefits that you can expect from getting your teeth whitened by a professional.

 

Safe treatment with less irritation, soreness, and sensitivity

One of the main benefits of getting your teeth whitened by a professional is feeling reassured that your treatment will be safe and carried out with the highest safety standards in mind. Whitening agents can irritate the skin and soft tissues of the mouth if they come into contact with them. Applying a whitening agent yourself is tricky at best, and inevitably this leads to some getting onto these sensitive areas, causing soreness and sensitivity. However, when you have your teeth whitening carried out by a professional, you will have special equipment used to protect the gums and soft tissue. Your experienced cosmetic dentist can also apply the whitening agent more carefully, reducing the risk of it coming into contact with areas that it shouldn’t.

 

Superior results

Only professionals have access to the strongest whitening agents. These chemicals can lighten and whiten your teeth much more quickly and effectively than those which are available in over-the-counter and at-home kits. Stronger bleaches also produce that lasts longer than inferior alternatives.

 

Consistent whiteness

As we already know, applying a bleaching agent to your own teeth can be tricky. If any areas are missed or not covered fully, it can lead to patchy results. However, when you have a professional apply the chemical for you, you can be certain to achieve greater consistency in the color of your smile.

 

Personalized treatment

Products that you buy over-the-counter are sold as one-size-fits-all. This means that they are very unlikely to fit your teeth perfectly, and this will affect the result that they provide. Not only that, but they can be downright uncomfortable to use and result in teeth sensitivity. When you choose professional teeth whitening, you can relax knowing that your treatment is personalized to you, your teeth, your mouth and your final color goal.

 

A great smile that radiates confidence

Your smile says a great deal about you as a person and can affect how other people perceive you and treat you. A bright, confident smile will make people notice you more and will give you the boost you need to put yourself forward to embrace new opportunities that come your way. Put simply, a new smile could open doors that you never expected and enable you to change your life for the better!
