Frequently asked questions about at-home teeth whitening treatment.
Calgary, Alberta, area patients seeking solutions to stained and discolored teeth will want to speak to a professional about at-home teeth whitening kits. Custom whitening trays paired with professional-strength gels are the most effective way to quickly brighten the smile in the privacy of one’s home. Let’s review some frequently asked questions about at-home teeth whitening available at Calgary Dental Centers!
Why should I consider professional-grade at-home whitening kits?
While your local Calgary, Alberta drug store offers take-home whitening kits at a fraction of the price, they do not compare to professional-grade options. Professional-grade whitening kits use higher concentrations of whitening ingredients, making them more effective and providing faster results.
What is the difference between at-home teeth whitening treatment and in-office treatments?
At-home teeth whitening typically involves using a custom-made tray filled with a bleaching gel that you wear for a predetermined amount each day. In-office treatments involve a dental professional applying a stronger bleaching agent to your teeth. While both methods can produce great results, in-office treatments are often more expensive and require multiple sessions.
Is at-home teeth whitening safe?
Professional-grade at-home teeth whitening kits are readily available at Calgary Dental Centers, allowing patients access to stronger concentrations of whitening ingredients. However, as with any dental treatment, patients are encouraged to follow instructions carefully and consult their dental provider if they experience any adverse effects.
