Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that can get your teeth between four and eight shades whiter in an hour, depending on the whitening system your dentist uses. Professional whitening is the safest because dentists are trained to use the higher concentrations of active whitening ingredients.
Dentists offices also provide at-home whitening kits so you can maintain your brighter smile between visits. These kits are typically more effective than what you buy in stores. With proper maintenance, a professional teeth whitening session can last two to three years.
One of the advantages of going to a dental professional for teeth whitening is you know what the results will be. You will get noticeably whiter teeth. That isn’t always the case with at-home kits you buy retail. The other advantage is you know a professional is trained so there won’t be damage or side effects. Some using at-home kits use them wrongly or too much, causing damage to their teeth enamel.
Around 10% of Canadians have their teeth whitened by an in-office professional regularly. Nine percent state they had a professional whitening treatment at least once.
