ProFessional DENTAL WHITENING
You may wonder why you should whiten your teeth at the dentist when you can buy whitening products at your local pharmacy. The truth is that professional tooth whitening differs from products sold over the counter in several important ways, including their effectiveness, safety, and application process.
Dentists use stronger bleaching agents than those available over-the-counter, which typically leads to faster and more noticeable results, often within a single session. We customize treatments for each patient as needed using proper application techniques tailored to your teeth and sensitivity levels. In some cases we’ll use custom trays molded to your specific anatomy. All of this ensures even whitening and minimizes the risk of gum irritation. Results will last longer than with over-the-counter products, and we’ll give you tips to prolong that newly brightened smile!
As with any healthcare treatment, there are some risks involved. Temporary tooth sensitivity and gum irritation can occur. In some cases, the whitening process won’t work similarly on all of your teeth, especially with teeth stained due to trauma or medication. If you’ve ever had an allergic reaction to the materials used in the whitening process, you may not be a candidate for the procedure. It’s important that you tell your dentist about any reactions you’ve had in the past and, as well as any current illnesses or medications you may be taking. At Archetype Dental, your health and wellbeing are our top priority. Visit us for a consultation, and we’ll craft a treatment plan that will help you obtain your best smile!
