Teeth whitening procedures represent one of the most commonly requested cosmetic dentistry procedures across the nation, and it is no different here in Alpharetta. While we are not surprised to learn that the OTC teeth whitening industry is also booming, we are concerned about the myth that over-the-counter tooth whitening is more affordable. It is true that at first glance, the tooth whitening offered by your dentist in Alpharetta appears more expensive. But is it really?
The Science of Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is not a matter of simply adding more product and letting it bleach your teeth. In fact, there is a very specific amount of peroxide needed to whiten teeth, and the amount changes depending on why your teeth are stained, and what other oral health issues you may have. Cosmetic dentistry professionals can help you achieve a perfect smile based on your specific needs, not based on a generic formula designed for anyone but you. This means that when you visit your dentist in Alpharetta, your money is being spent on a process that will work for you, not a gamble.
The Cost of Teeth Whitening
When you realize that not only are you likely buying something that does not contain the right amount of ingredients, but you are also going to have to buy the OTC teeth whitening kit again and again to get the same effect, it becomes clearer just how cost effective teeth whitening is at your dentist’s office. Even professional tooth whitening is not permanent, but you can reduce the number of repeat buys to once every year or 18 months, rather than once a month or more!
