Even though you can pick up whitening strips at your local grocery store, we definitely recommend professional teeth whitening. Here are five major benefits of getting your teeth professionally whitened:   • Effectiveness There’s no arguing that professional teeth whitening services are more effective than over-the-counter at-home whitening. Advanced technology allows for stronger, longer-lasting results.   • Speed Laser treatments produce beautiful results after just one treatment whereas at home results can take months. The second you leave our offices, you will be a different, happier you!   • Safety Tooth sensitivity is a very real and important factor to consider. Seeing a medical professional will make sure that you don’t permanently damage your tooth enamel. This can also prevent damage to the gum tissue and gum line.   • Aesthetic appearance Whitening at home is almost trial and error based. Letting them sit for too long can cause your teeth to become way too white. On the other hand, leaving the treatment on for too little will make it difficult to see any results at all. Going to a professional will give you the natural-looking beauty you want.   • Heightened confidence Confidence starts with a great smile! Professional teeth whitening can help you gain confidence and realize how truly gorgeous you are.   Visit Great Smiles Family Dentistry to learn more. Call us today.
