The Real Reason Professional Teeth Whitening Works Better Than Store-Bought Kits
The Power of a Professional Teeth Whitening Treatment
Are you self conscious about how dull your smile has become? There are many people who are looking to brighten up their smile by whitening their teeth and give themselves a boost of confidence. Some people try over-the-counter teeth-whitening kits that can be bought at your neighborhood grocery store or pharmacy. However, those tooth whitening kits might not achieve the whiteness and brightness you are looking for.
At Monroe Family Dentistry in Greenville, South Carolina, we offer a professional Pro-Sys tooth-whitening system that is dentist approved and will give you better results than over-the-counter options. Read on to learn more about the Pro-Sys whitening system and why it works better than over-the-counter whitening systems that can be bought at the store.
Stronger Whitening Power
One of the major differences between a teeth whitening kit you can buy over the counter at a local store and a professional whitening system you can get from Monroe Family Dentistry is that the professional whitening kit has stronger whitening power. This extra strength enables you to have whiter teeth for a longer duration. Some patients of Monroe Family Dentistry see their professional whitening results last up to a year.
A professional-grade tooth whitening kit, like the Pro-Sys whitening system, contains a higher concentration of whitening agents. That means you can achieve more noticeable results after just one use of a professional whitening system. Often, the whitening agents in a professional tooth-whitening kit are able to safely lift stains that have penetrated the surface of the tooth, which is where most of the stains hide.
At-home whitening kits usually just whiten the surface of teeth, and never get to the deep stains that cause tooth discoloration. Since the at-home whitening systems are often just whitening strips, they only target the area of the tooth the strip covers, which means you could see uneven results.
Custom-Fit Trays for Even Coverage
A problem you might have with an over-the-counter tooth-whitening kit is that the trays are one-size-fits-all, or even worse, they are just strips that don’t cover your teeth properly. If your teeth aren’t covered evenly, as we mentioned, there is no way you can achieve an even whitening.
The Pro-Sys system offered by Greenville’s Monroe Family Dentistry uses custom-fitted trays that hold the whitening solution. We take a mold of each patient’s teeth, which allows for a custom-fitted tray to be created. This ensures the whitening solution evenly coats your teeth, without causing any damage to your gums.
Safer for Enamel and Gums
While the Pro-Sys whitening system is a professional whitening solution, it is powerful enough to be used without causing sensitivity to your teeth. The professional system is designed, with dentist supervision, to whiten your teeth to a desired level without causing any damage to your teeth, or putting your teeth at risk of sensitivity.
The professional whitening formula is designed to penetrate the enamel of the tooth to break up stains that are below the surface, without causing damage to the tooth’s enamel. If you are looking for a whitening solution to brighten your smile, it is important to have a consultation with your dentist about your oral health so your dentist can choose the best whitening option for you to achieve your desired whitening results.
Lasting Results You Can Maintain
Professional whitening solutions, like Pro-Sys, are designed to break down stains that sit below the surface of the enamel, with results that last about a year. Most over-the-counter whitening systems are designed to just whiten the surface of the tooth, and never penetrate the surface for long-lasting results. That is why the brightening results from over-the-counter kits don’t last very long, and many users don’t see the desired results they are hoping for.
Because a professional whitening treatment can last for months at a time, there is no need to whiten your teeth constantly. If you are seeing your whiteness start to dim, you can always schedule a touch-up at Monroe Family Dentistry.
