As summer comes to a close, school begins, and signs of fall pop up everywhere, it’s natural to want to take as much of the sunshine with you as possible. Some people choose to make that happen with a professional teeth whitening treatment. When your smile is bright, no matter how chilly, gloomy, and wintery it gets to be, every time you reveal your smile you’ll look like sunshine.
Reasons to See Your Red Bank Dentist for Teeth Whitening
Why bother going to the dentist when you can just go to the local pharmacy and pick up some affordable whitening products in the oral health aisle? We’ll tell you why:
- Ingredients: No over-the-counter teeth whitening products have the formulation or strength of professional-grade whitening treatments.
- Results: You may get your teeth a little whiter with drugstore products, but it will only be temporary because those products only address the surface of your teeth, not the stains within your tooth enamel.
- Cost: You may feel like you’re getting a deal buying your whitening products at the pharmacy, but over time that expense adds up because you must do the work repeatedly to maintain results. A one-time treatment at your dentist is far more affordable and lasts for years.
- Sensitivity: There is no way for you to make sure your teeth and gums don’t suffer sensitivity from over-the-counter products. Professional whitening is carefully customized so you’re comfortable.
- Accuracy: There is plenty of room for error with OTC whitening products. You may not get a tooth fully whitened. Teeth with crowns or other restorations will not whiten. And so on. Whether you opt for take-home trays or in-office whitening, the treatment will be personalized to your unique mouth.
Yes, Even You Can Get Whiter Teeth
Many people are saddled with tooth discoloration that seems like it’s never going to go anywhere unless they cover it up with porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns. While these cosmetic dentistry procedures are always options, and you will discuss them with your Red Bank dentist, if your heart is set on a less-invasive, more-affordable option like teeth whitening, you might still be a good candidate.
KöR deep bleaching is one of the most powerful and effective teeth whitening systems available. Not only is it available as a cost-effective solution that you administer in the comfort of your own home, it makes teeth whitening a possibility for patients who have tetracycline staining, grey teeth, tooth sensitivity, and other limitations.
Customized whitening trays are created by a dental lab, checked for fit, and the patient is sent home with the trays and whitening agents to wear for two weeks while sleeping. This effort is topped off by an in-office bleaching treatment. KöR is an investment in your smile – and it pays off immediately.
