Dentist in Providence Utah area - Is At Home Teeth Whitening as Good as Professional?

Tooth whitening is in fashion these days. The benefits are clear. Who doesn’t want a cleaner, happier, whiter looking smile to impress others and make you feel better about yourself?

This highly marketed commodity is raking in over a billion dollars each year. $1.4 billion was spent on over-the-counter teeth whitening products last year alone. Many consumers have spent hundreds of dollars on over the counter teeth whitening products, only to turn around and opt for a more professional whitening result from a dentist. Over the counter products can work, but they have some disadvantages, which include:

• Teeth whitening strips only whiten front teeth, they do not whiten back teeth. • The bleach on many these whitening strips is not as strong or effective as that provided professionally. • Chemicals and abrasives used in some over the counter teeth whitening products can cause damage to tooth enamel, sensitivity to teeth and gums, or, if accidently swallowed could make a person sick. • Because the cost is low with over the counter teeth whitening, if results are not evident right away, it’s easy to purchase many repeat applications. This expense can quickly add up over time, and without realizing it, a person can find him or herself spending as much or more than the cost to have had it done professionally in the first place.

Although there are some dangers in whitening teeth, it is still a safe dental procedure when done properly and according to directions.

Professional teeth bleaching by a dentist provides the advantage of having a trained professional responsible for the whole procedure. If problems occur during the whitening process, like teeth sensitivity, the dentist will easily be able to treat these issues as they arise.

Your dentist will provide you with a custom tray that is formed to fit your teeth and will guide you on how to properly use it for best results.

Millions of people have their teeth whitened every year, and very few suffer negative side effects or experience problems in their teeth whitening treatment.

While over the counter teeth whitening kits are generally less expensive, you may be surprised to discover that many dentists offer discounts and incentives for professional teeth whitening. Logan Utah dentist Doug Smith offers a free Opalescence teeth whitening application free with new patient exam, cleaning and x-ray.
