As we age, our teeth lose that crisp, bright white look we had in our youth. Even the young can be plagued with a natural darker tooth color that detracts from their wide smiles. There are over-the- counter products that whiten teeth, but the results take a long time, and the whitening effects are not always even.
You can reclaim your smile with teeth whitening. Livonia dentists are the experts you want to restore that youthful and healthy glow that only a smile can give you.
In-Office Whitening Benefits
* Stronger Whitening Agent
* Protective Care
Your Dentist not only applies a medical quality whitening agent to your teeth, but your dentist has special laser equipment that brings dramatic results with just the first treatment. Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth, and create a mouthpiece tray that fits precisely over your teeth. The mouthpiece not only insures even whitening but protects your gums by preventing irritation. The entire process takes only about 60 minutes, and the whitening effect lasts longer than over-the-counter products.
Supervision and Costs
* Prescribed Home Treatment Plan
* Preventive Gum Health
* Lower Long-term Expense
A Dentist prescribes an at-home treatment plan combined with in-office visits to maintain your new smile. Over the counter products, don’t address problem stains, but your dentist does, and he or she treats your teeth according to your individual needs. The tender tissue of your gums is monitored with your regular dental visits, and the teeth whitening experience becomes part of your regular dental hygiene routine.
Over the counter products offer none of the safety and oral health care that your Dentist provides. The in-office results are even, natural looking and easy to maintain. Your teeth stay whiter longer with in-office care, and supervised treatment eliminates the cost of repeated buying of expensive over the counter whitening agents. While the initial cost is a bit higher, the long-term expense is less than having to buy the unprescribed whiteners.
Overall the end results of incorporating a whitening routine into regular dental visits bring about striking results at a lower risk and lower cost option.
