Professional teeth whitening remove years of dental stains and the process is safe. The dentists at Atlantic Dentistry in Kitty Hawk and Manteo, North Carolina offer teeth whitening treatments to their patients. Here are 5 reasons to consider professional teeth whitening.

1. You will have a bright smile.

Tooth discoloration can ruin a nice smile. A professional teeth whitening treatment will whiten your smile and make you feel better about yourself. Take-home teeth whitening involves custom dental trays filled with a bleaching gel that you can use at home. For in-office whitening, your dentist will combine bleaching gel with a dental light to intensify and speed up the process.

2. You will get better results.

You will achieve extraordinary results in less time if you have your teeth professionally whitened by your dental provider. Many over-the-counter teeth whitening products are available including mouth rinses, whitening pens, toothpastes, strips, and gels. Most people will not see good results with drugstore products. The bleaching gels dentists use are stronger than over-the-counter teeth whitening kits.

3. You will see results quickly.

You can brighten your smile in a flash with a professional in-office whitening treatment. In-office whitening can make your teeth eight shades lighter in less than one hour. You will be able to see the results after treatment. A professional take-home teeth whitening treatment also provides fantastic results in one or two weeks.

4. It doesn’t damage your teeth.

Professional teeth whitening is completely safe when done correctly. It doesn't carry any serious side effects, but some patients may experience tooth sensitivity or irritated gums after treatment. Patients with dental cavities or gum disease should not have their teeth whitened until these conditions are treated.

5. It will give you long-lasting results.

Unlike over-the-counter teeth whitening products, professional whitening treatments provide results that last a long time. After a professional whitening treatment, you may need a touch-up after a year or two. Some patients who have had their teeth professionally whitened are still satisfied with the color of their teeth several years later.
