3 FAQs About Professional In-Office Teeth Whitening

Choosing to undergo teeth whitening treatment is something many people are doing nowadays. Even though it is easier than ever to buy over-the-counter whitening options, these options are not custom-made. This makes it a good idea for those in need of whitening services to choose a dental professional, as this allows for personalized teeth whitening services.

Teeth whitening treatment from a professional

Understanding that not all teeth whitening treatment options are the same is the first thing one needs to do when considering whitening their teeth. While the main benefit that comes with undergoing an in-office whitening procedure is the ability to be under the supervision of a dental professional, a second close benefit is that patients can expect optimal whitening results in a very short amount of time. In-office whitening results also last much longer when compared to generic over-the-counter options.

3 FAQs about in-office teeth whitening

The list below includes some of the more frequently asked questions people have about professional in-office teeth whitening treatments.

1. Are in-office teeth whitening treatments worth it?

Yes. Many people believe that it is worth both the minimal amount of time spent in the dental chair, as well as any costs associated with undergoing professional whitening treatments. The ability to be under the supervision of a dental professional allows patients peace of mind, as otherwise, they would be left guessing as to which over-the-counter whitening product is going to work for them.

2. Do in-office teeth whitening treatments offer long-lasting results?

Yes. In fact, in-office whitening procedures typically offer the longest-lasting results for patients. Since every patient is different, in order for someone to understand how long their whitening results will last, they will first need to undergo a dental examination. The results will also depend on whether or not the patient is following aftercare instructions, such as avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks. Generally speaking, in-office whitening results last anywhere between six months and two years.

3. How popular are in-office teeth whitening treatments?

While there are many cosmetic dental procedures for one to choose from in order to improve the way they look when they smile, in-office teeth whitening treatment is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures people are choosing. While it is possible for one to ask a dental professional for a whitening kit they can take home to whiten their teeth, more people are choosing in-office whitening treatments nowadays due to all of the many benefits that come with choosing an in-office procedure.

Undergoing whitening treatment

Ready to undergo a professional in-office teeth whitening procedure? The answers to the above frequently asked questions allow those who are in need of whitening procedures to understand more about the importance of having a dental professional perform the procedure.
