Head to the nearest grocery store or drug store in Guelph and you will find an overwhelming wall of boxes promising a brilliant white smile in just a few days. Between the gels, strips, rinses, and pastes, there are endless options right at your fingertips.
But is a store-bought kit the best option for whitening your smile?
In truth, application is as critical as the strength of the product. To see powerful, safe results, you need a custom approach to your whitening treatment in Guelph.
Flat Whitening Strips vs Curved Teeth
Teeth have a natural curve to them, which store-bought strips struggle to replicate. Since the strips are flat, they cannot fit into the curves, crevices, and textures of real teeth. Therefore, the whitening product will not be evenly applied, and results are often uneven.
Professional whitening treatments are applied with a custom-crafted tray that fits the curvature of your smile perfectly. This results in better application and far superior results.
Avoiding Chemical Gum Irritation
Since over-the-counter strips and trays lack a tight seal, product easily seeps out and onto your gumline. The whitening product can chemically burn gum tissue, leading to pain, irritation, and white spots. Custom whitening trays from the dentist provide a tight seal that protects your gums.
Reducing Post-Whitening Sensitivity
One of the biggest complaints about store-bought whitening is the sensitivity after. Many people report sharp flashes of pain when drinking or eating something cold or hot. The sensitivity is often highest soon after treatment, but with continued use of over-the-counter kits, it can become a permanent issue. Generic gels rarely include the desensitizing agents (like fluoride and potassium nitrate) that professional treatments offer. Our high-end materials ensure powerful results while also protecting enamel.
