Professional Teeth Whitening

While a good oral hygiene routine is vital to prevent teeth discolouration, factors such as aging and general wear and tear are inevitable and contribute to staining or yellowing of the teeth. When brushing, flossing or cleaning your teeth thoroughly is not enough to achieve pearly whites, teeth whitening might be the perfect solution.

Professional teeth whitening has grown in popularity over recent years thanks to the development of safer and more advanced techniques. It is the quickest way to transform dull, stained teeth and leave you with a bright smile that looks brand new.

Teeth Whitening:
Professional vs OTC Options

Teeth whitening can be done at home or by a dental professional. However, if you don’t have the know-how to experiment with over-the-counter whitening treatments or want to go two shades lighter at a minimum, an in-office treatment is going to give you the most effective results.

Teeth whitening kits for at-home use are not as safe as when the procedure is monitored, supervised, and performed by a dentist. Over the counter teeth whitening treatments carry a higher level of risk, with damage to the gums from harsh chemicals being a primary concern.

Additionally, some cases of tooth discolouration are caused by underlying conditions that require dental therapy, so you should always consult your dentist before performing any at-home treatments or deciding on a treatment option.
