Teeth Whitening Options, Which Is Best For You?

If you want whiter teeth, you've got multiple teeth whitening options to choose from. They work to remove your teeth stains using hydrogen peroxide. Popular teeth whitening treatment options include:

Over-The-Counter Teeth Whitening

Over-the-counter teeth whitening products such as special toothpaste, kits, strips, and pens, let you brighten your teeth without having to step outside your home. However, you won't be getting dramatic teeth whitening results with these teeth whitening products. That's because they don't contain high concentrations of peroxide. Another problem with DIY teeth whitening products is that they can be abrasive. Hence, they can wear down your enamel over time and are dangerous if misused.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

If you truly want the comfort of whitening your teeth at home yourself, you can speak to your dentist about take-home teeth whitening. Your dentist can give you special teeth whitening gel and trays to whiten your teeth at home. You'll need to use the kit multiple times to get your desired results, but it's much safer than over-the-counter teeth whitening options.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

At your dentist's office, you can get your teeth several shades brighter in only an hour. The results are instantaneous, and you'll be leaving your dentist's office with your teeth several shades brighter than when you came in. Your dentist will apply the teeth whitening gel and use special light for your treatment. During your teeth whitening procedure in Mansfield, OH, your dentist will shield your cheeks, gums, and lips from possible damage by the teeth whitening gel.

Not all types of teeth stains will benefit from these teeth whitening procedures. Hence, a dental consultation is crucial for getting brighter teeth. If your dentist determines that your teeth won't benefit from these procedures, they may suggest getting dental restorations. Veneers and dental crowns can cover up the teeth stains to make your smile whiter.
