Teeth whitening is one of the most popular and non-invasive cosmetic dentistry treatments in the world. The most popular options are at-home DIY whitening kits, which are available at most drug and grocery stores, or professional treatments like Phillips Zoom or laser technology. While there are pros and cons to both, if you are looking for more dramatic and long-term results, professional teeth whitening is the way to go.
Should I Whiten My Teeth at Home or Use a Dentist?
If you take the DIY approach, you can purchase a whitening kit from your dentist or grocery store. There are several options available ranging from trays and strips to lights and brushes. Most whitening products contain peroxide, which lightens tooth enamel and, in turn, brightens up your tooth color and smile. If you opt for trays, you will receive a one-size-fits-all mouthpiece; when using trays, it is important that you follow directions carefully to avoid irritating your gums and teeth.
Professional whitening takes place in an office with much stronger whitening solutions that deliver more noticeable and long-lasting results. Since dentists use higher levels of peroxide in their whitening solutions, they can produce a much lighter shade. While some patients prefer the convenience of whitening their teeth at home, in-office whitening is very simple and only takes about an hour. We provide in-house financing and insurance plans so that everyone can afford the smile of their dreams.
Schedule a Teeth Whitening Appointment
While at-home kits are a cheaper alternative to in-office whitening, you get what you pay for and the results are not as dramatic. If you are self-conscious or not satisfied with the color of your smile, schedule a teeth whitening consultation at our Plantation dentist or Tamarac dentist office.
