Professional Teeth Whitening vs. DIY Methods: Which is Better?

If you've considered enhancing your smile with teeth whitening, you've probably thought about doing it yourself with products you buy at the grocery store or instructions for DIY on TikTok. While these options may seem less expensive and easier than going to your dentist, are they really effective and the best decision for your smile?

Here's what you should know about professional teeth whitening in Saint Paul, MN.

Why Professional Teeth Whitening Beats DIY Methods

Stronger Bleaching Gel

Your dentist uses higher-strength products than what you can buy at the store. This means that you won't have to spend as much time bleaching your teeth to achieve your desired results as you would with over-the-counter methods. 

With a custom take-home teeth whitening kit from Highgrove Dental Care, you can brighten your smile with professional-strength products in the comfort of your home. 

Customized Whitening Trays

We'll create customized plastic teeth whitening trays with impressions we take of your teeth. This ensures a snug fit that delivers better results and protects your gums and soft tissue from any bleaching gel that could escape and irritate them. 

Custom bleaching trays are much more reliable than generic products from the grocery store that could be ill-fitting.

Safety You Can Rely On

When you bleach your teeth with your dentist, you can rely on them to help with problems like gum irritation or tooth sensitivity. They'll have suggestions and remedies should you encounter any problems. 

If you choose store-bought products or TikTok methods, you're on your own, and you may not achieve the results you were hoping for.
