Teeth whitening/bleaching is often done for the removal of stains and to restore the natural color of teeth. Most people choose this treatment procedure for cosmetic reasons.
The process will not cause any damage to your teeth if it’s conducted under correct supervision and following best hygiene practices. The tooth whitening procedure will probably need repeat sessions before you see a significant effect on results.
Cost-effectiveness depends if you compare in-office treatments with over-the-counter methods like those that are found at pharmacies or online sites, or even those offered by professional dentists who practice their method based on your needs and preferences.
First, there are two options for patients that they may choose from for tooth whitening:
1. Professional Tooth Whitening-
The first option for patients that want to whiten their teeth is to visit the dentist’s office for a professional tooth whitening treatment. This option offers the most desirable results for those who are seeking complete tooth whitening. Professional dental offices have equipment and procedures in place that are designed specifically to give you the perfect smile without damaging your teeth.
Professional treatments can be very costly, so some people may choose to try over-the-counter methods instead. One of these options includes taking harsher medications as well as using special toothpaste and mouthwash products regularly. In addition, it may involve wearing trays or undergoing other invasive procedures for several months at a time until you see noticeable results.
2. ‘At-Home’ method of tooth bleaching-
An easy and affordable way to whiten your teeth is by at-home tooth bleaching. There are many products on the market today that whitens teeth naturally and quickly. The products may include toothpaste, mouthwash, or even gels. It’s important to use these products correctly in order for them to be effective. Most people discontinue the use of these products after a while when they see no difference in their teeth, so it’s best not to give up too soon.
Benefits of ‘in-office tooth whitening procedure
The benefits of the ‘In-Office’ tooth whitening procedure are that it is quick and affordable. The process only takes a few minutes, and the dentist uses state-of-the-art technology to give you a smile that will be beautiful and natural.
Here are few more benefits
1. A trained dentist performs the ‘In-Office’ type of tooth bleaching. Tooth whitening can be contraindicated in some clinical situations that may include:
a) In patients who have been suffering from gum infection or other oral diseases,
b) In patients with dry mouth syndrome, and/or
c) There is no sign to perform a cosmetic procedure on teeth.
2. The over-the-counter bleaching products from the dentist are more expensive than ones you buy at a drugstore. The dentist can make custom trays. You will have to monitor the placement of trays inside your mouth for proper whitening results.
3. The concentration of the bleaching agents like carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide is greater in the bleaching products used in the chair-side method. The reason this is important is that it means that there are more active ingredients in the products that are used in this process, which means you’ll see quicker and more noticeable teeth whitening results.
The chair-side method of laser therapy or heat application is an effective way to get immediate results.
Is whitening your teeth at the dentist’s office economical?
I think that the chair-side tooth whitening procedure is more convenient and economical in comparison with the at-home method. The dentist performs the procedure, which means there are fewer chances for procedural error, and it gives quick results for patients. The chairside process is also beneficial because it’s safe and easy to use.
