We're often asked, "How safe is teeth whitening?" The answer is that it's very safe for your smile, especially when you whiten your teeth under the supervision of your dentist. The bleaching products that your Vallejo dentist has access to are strong, effective, and safe for your smile. They're also designed to minimize the tooth sensitivity that sometimes accompanies teeth whitening.
How Professional Teeth Whitening Works
Your dentist uses professional-grade bleaching gel that uses hydrogen or carbamide peroxide to break down stains on your teeth's surfaces, leaving them whiter and brighter. The effects of teeth whitening typically last for a while, especially if you take steps like consistent home care and professional teeth cleanings to keep your smile bright. The good news is that a take-home teeth whitening kit from our dental office allows you to brighten your smile in the future whenever you notice your teeth appearing more yellowed or dull-looking.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Is it really better to whiten your teeth with your dentist when there are so many convenient over-the-counter (OTC) products to choose from? The answer is yes, and here's why:
- Customized — Your dentist customizes your whitening treatment for safety and better results. OTC products are one-size-fits-all, which may not be as effective.
- Safety — Bleaching your teeth with your dentist is safer for your smile if you encounter problems like tooth sensitivity.
- Effectiveness — Because your dentist has access to stronger whitening gels and products, it generally delivers better results quicker.
