This whitening agent effectively lifts unsightly stains that detract from your beautiful smile. While at-home teeth-whitening products can include as little as 10% of this peroxide solution, professional treatments have up to 40%! Therefore, even take-home brightening options from your dentist are a much stronger solution to fight yellow-looking teeth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">At-Home vs. Professional: Which Is Best?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Although similar ingredients are found in both the store-bought and professional treatment options, the approach used to brighten your smile is very different. While sometimes effective, the at-home whitening strips rely on a flexible material to lighten your teeth. However, your dentist\u2019s office has more powerful tools on hand. During a professional teeth-whitening treatment, the combination of the customized trays and professional-grade light can effectively remove even the most stubborn stains. So, patients often need help from their dentist to achieve the results they desire.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Option Is the Most Cost-Effective?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Initially, opting for over-the-counter teeth-whitening solutions may seem like the most cost-effective option. While professional treatments have a higher price-tag on the front end, the store-bought alternatives require more purchases in the long run. Therefore, patients can end up saving money by bypassing the lower-grade options and going straight for the licensed ones!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Your smile says a lot about you, so make sure it sends the right message. Fortunately, your dentist has professional teeth-whitening options you can use from the comfort of your own home or at their practice. That way, you can get the bright, white smile you\u2019ve always wanted!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Backed by their friendly team, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.windermeredentist.com\/matthew-mckissock-dmd-fagd.html\">Dr. Matthew McKissock<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.windermeredentist.com\/rupal-thakkar-dmd.html\">Dr. Rupal Thakkar<\/a> use their extensive experience and passion for dentistry to create a patient-centered approach to treatment that is second to none.
