Professional teeth whitening is more effective because it uses stronger whitening agents that safely deliver faster, more noticeable results. Dentists can whiten teeth several shades lighter in just one visit.
It’s safer than using at-home kits since a dental professional carefully protects your gums and enamel during treatment. Over-the-counter products can cause irritation.
Professional whitening provides even results. Your dentist tailors the treatment to your specific tooth desired colour and takes your tooth sensitivity into consideration.
In-office whitening lasts longer because it penetrates deeper into the enamel to remove stubborn stains. You will need some touch-ups and a solid oral hygiene routine to keep it going for months or years.
