With professional teeth whitening, whether you opt for in-office or take-home treatment, you can trust that you\u2019ll receive impressive results. In many cases, patients can enjoy fast and reliable results, but in how much time and after how many sessions? Read on to learn how professional teeth whitening works below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Professional Teeth Whitening Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cosmetic dentists often offer multiple different types of teeth whitening treatment options that you\u2019ll be able to choose from. In-office treatment lets you avoid the hassle of applying the whitening gel yourself, and because the ingredients used are applied by a professional, they\u2019re clinical-grade and work faster. On the other hand, take-home teeth whitening kits will also be available. These kits use ingredients that aren\u2019t as concentrated, but they\u2019re still much more effective than anything you can purchase in the store, and they can brighten your smile within two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Take-Home or In-Office Teeth Whitening Better?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What type of teeth whitening treatment you decide to invest in depends on the depth of your dental staining. If you have surface level stains from drinking coffee or red wine and aren\u2019t looking for a dramatic refresh, then take-home teeth whitening should do the trick. However, if you want more dramatic results and feel that your teeth are severely stained, then in-office K\u00f6R or Zoom! teeth whitening will be the better options for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Many Teeth Whitening Sessions Do You Need?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose take-home teeth whitening, you\u2019ll need to re-apply the whitening gel at home each day for two weeks to achieve the best possible results, meaning you\u2019ll need 14 sessions total. For in-office teeth whitening, you should achieve noticeable results within a single hour-long visit. If you want even more dramatic results, you can check in with your cosmetic dentist to see the soonest you could come back in for a touch-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The great thing about investing in professional teeth whitening is that, no matter what method you receive, your smile will brighten by up to eight shades at the end of your treatment. That\u2019s typically not the case with store-bought products. You can truly trust that your money is going to the best with teeth whitening from your cosmetic dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Clinton Township Family Dental, our two cosmetic dentists, Dr. Rabban and Dr. Ghanim, are passionate about helping patients feel confident in their smiles.
