At Valley Dental Health, we know how important it is to feel confident about your smile. Over time, the foods and drinks we enjoy can leave stains on our teeth that make them look yellow or dull. While store-bought whitening products might seem tempting, professional teeth whitening gives you better results that last much longer. Here’s why investing in professional whitening is worth every penny.
The Problem With Store-Bought Whitening Products
Those whitening strips and kits you see at the drugstore might be cheap and easy to buy, but they come with some big problems. First, they’re made to fit “average” teeth, which means if your teeth aren’t perfectly straight or uniform in size, you could end up with uneven whitening. Some parts of your teeth might get super white while other areas stay yellow. This can leave you with a blotchy and unnatural look.
Another issue is sensitivity. Many patients find that store-bought whitening products make their teeth painfully sensitive to hot and cold. That’s because these products use harsh chemicals that can damage your enamel if you don’t use them properly. We’ve had many patients come to us disappointed with the results and sometimes even dealing with tooth pain after trying drugstore whiteners.
Why Professional Whitening Works Better
At Valley Dental Health, we offer two professional whitening options that actually work:
- In-Office Whitening: Get dramatic results in just one visit! We can make your teeth several shades whiter while you relax in our comfortable office in about an hour. We use special lights and professional-strength whitening gel that’s much more effective than anything you can buy at the store.
- Custom Take-Home Kits: Prefer to whiten on your own schedule? We’ll make custom trays that fit your teeth perfectly, so the whitening gel touches every part of your teeth evenly. These kits use professional-grade whitening gel that’s strong enough to work but gentle on your teeth.
Both options are supervised by our dentists, Dr. Izadi and Dr. Rafat, so you know you’re getting safe and effective treatment. We’ll make sure you get the exact results you want without any of the problems that come with store-bought products.
The Benefits You Can’t Get Anywhere Else
When you choose professional whitening, you get advantages that over-the-counter products just can’t match:
- Customized Treatment: Your whitening plan is designed specifically for your teeth and your goals
- Even Results: No blotchy or uneven whitening
- Less Sensitivity: Our professional formulas minimize discomfort
- Long-Lasting Whitening: With proper care, your results can last for years
- Expert Supervision: Real dentists make sure your teeth stay healthy throughout the process
