5 Reasons to Choose Professional Teeth Whitening

Home whitening products are widely available and diverse. It’s easy to run to the store and pick up a pack of whitening strips, rinses, or toothpastes to reduce yellow tones on your teeth. 

However, despite being easy to use, widely available, and somewhat effective, professional teeth whitening is your best bet for a truly radiant smile. 

Our expert dentists at Hendricks Dental Specialists in Brentwood, Tennessee, provide the most advanced whitening treatments. From custom dental trays with professional-grade whitening gel to in-office whitening treatments, our professional whitening options alleviate staining from aging, smoking, or dietary factors. 

According to the American Association of Orthodontists, nearly 90% of dental patients request teeth whitening services. Here’s why professional whitening is your best bet. 

1. More dramatic results

Compared to home whitening products available at the store, professional whitening gives you a more dramatic result. This is because professional whitening products have higher concentrations of bleaching substances. 

2. Longer-lasting results

Although no teeth whitening treatment can offer permanent results, professional whitening results last for months or years. You can prolong your results by avoiding foods, beverages,  and behaviors that stain teeth, including:

• Smoking
• Red wine
• Coffee
• Berries
• Cola

Maintain a diligent oral hygiene routine, including daily brushing and flossing, as well as twice-yearly professional dental cleanings. 

3. Faster results

The higher concentrations of bleach in professional whitening treatments brighten teeth quickly. If you opt for in-office whitening, our team might use an LED light to activate the whitening gel and accelerate the process. 

Typically, an in-office whitening service takes between 30 and 60 minutes, and you can see a difference in the color of your teeth right away. 

4. A safe, supervised procedure

Professional whitening products are stronger because professional dentists facilitate and supervise their use. We safely perform your whitening procedure to ensure the product doesn’t damage your gums or other oral tissues. 

Since professional whitening happens under our care, you’re less likely to experience issues like increased tooth sensitivity or gum injuries from improper or excessive whitening product use. 

5. Customizable treatment

Professional whitening treatments are customizable according to the level of tooth staining and the degree of whitening you’d like to achieve. 

Your whitening journey starts with a consultation at Hendricks Dental Specialists to discuss your desired results. Our team tells you if you need any treatments before teeth whitening after examining your mouth and taking digital X-rays. 

Our team helps you choose the best whitening treatment according to your needs. We’ll tell you how many sessions you’ll need to reach your desired level of whitening. In addition to your personal goals, we also consider factors like your budget and timeframe.
