Transcript of Dentist in Richmond Virginia Home Whitening vs In Office Treatment - Which is Better
One of the dilemmas most people face when they want to achieve a whiter smile is choosing between a do-it-yourself home whitening plan or a
professional in-office treatment at the dentist’s.

They often wonder which one is better so let’s look at the facts behind each
option.

* Home Whitening Treatments have an average of 3% peroxide levels so they require continual use over 2-4 weeks
to achieve a whiter smile.

Because of this, home treatments usually work best on mildly stained
yellow teeth.

* Dentists have access to professional strength teeth whiteners with 15-43% peroxide levels meaning that you can
have your teeth whiter in about 1 hour.

In addition, dentist can use additional laser and light treatments that will zap out the worst of dark brown and grey
stains.

* Most home bleaching kits have a generic mouth piece as part of the
whitening tray.

* Unfortunately this one size may not fit you very well since everyone has a
different dental structure.

This means that some of the bleaching agent could land on your gums and
cause irritation.

* Your dentist can create a customized mouth piece just for you by taking an
exact mold of your teeth.

This provides a better fit and improves bleaching results.

* Home kits don’t usually come with protective products or tools so your gums and oral cavity is exposed to
bleaching agents.

* With an in-office treatment, your dentist will apply a protective gel or
install a rubber shield to protect your gums and oral cavity so that they don’t
get affected by the bleaching agents
http://www.DrMohanty.com
* Home whitening kits are much more affordable, putting you back by no
more than $50-60.
http://www.DrMohanty.com
They are definitely best for a gentle whitening plan but will not work for
badly stained teeth.
http://www.DrMohanty.com
* In-office treatments are more expensive with sessions costing $400-
500.

However they are the better option if you have very badly stained teeth that
a home kit cannot get rid of.
