Even if their teeth are healthy, many people want a smile they can feel confident showing off to their friends, family, and others they’re meeting for the first time. Having a whiter smile can boost your confidence and encourage you to smile more often, which in turn improves your mood and self-esteem. It’s precisely why teeth whitening has become so popular today.
With teeth whitening in Lincoln, you can have a professional whitening done in a single appointment or at home. Take a moment to learn about these options before your next visit!
Is Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening Worth It?
You’ve probably seen products at your local drugstore that tout their teeth whitening abilities. However, many of these products don’t use the same whitening materials that you would get from a dentist. Therefore, results make take longer or multiple applications. Even then, it’s not likely you’ll get your teeth as white as you could with professional-grade whitening.
Additionally, since over-the-counter whitening kits are mass-produced, there’s a higher chance of experiencing tooth sensitivity. This is because the trays that come with store-bought whitening kits are not designed to fit every mouth exactly. This also reduces the effectiveness of the bleaching agents in the trays.
Keep in mind, you don’t need to sacrifice quality for convenience when whitening your teeth.
How Take-Home Whitening Compares
When you choose teeth whitening in Lincoln, you’re getting a much better value when it comes to results. Since the take-home whitening trays your dentist uses are custom-made to fit your teeth, you’re getting the maximum potential for whitening, all in the privacy of your home. By using custom-made trays, the bleaching agents will stay in the tray and make consistent contact with the surface of your teeth.
Additionally, the unique formulation of whitening agents your dentist uses allows them to reduce sensitivity typically associated with teeth whitening. These formulations are also customized to provide a more comfortable experience, both in the office and when you use take-home whitening trays.
Take Advantage of Quick In-Office Whitening!
Lincoln teeth whitening has never been faster or easier thanks to the in-office whitening setup provided to patients. While take-home whitening is ideal for those trying to improve their smile on their own time, some people just don’t have the time or only need a quick boost of whitening. In-office whitening is ideal for those who have an important upcoming event or don’t want to wait to have their teeth whitened.
In-office whitening can make your teeth up to 8 shades whiter in a single visit, so you can have a whiter smile just in time for your upcoming office party or other social event.
