Custom vs. Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening in Waco, TX
Why choose the Lake Shore Dental professionals instead of OTC kits? The kits in stores are inexpensive but also largely ineffective.
The generic trays never fit correctly, so keeping the whitening gel in the correct position is challenging. In addition, the gel has limited efficacy as it doesn’t have enough whitening agents to make much of a difference.
By visiting Lake Shore Dental, you can whiten your teeth up to eight shades within a few days. Under the care of Dr. Waggener or Dr. Kucera, you can safely brighten your smile. With professional monitoring, you face a lower risk of tooth sensitivity and gum injury.
In-Office Whitening Treatments
Visit Lake Shore Dental to learn more about how to whiten your teeth professionally. An in-office whitening procedure will lift the color within one or two visits lasting up to two hours.
The procedure is simple: Dr. Waggener or Dr. Kucera apply the gel and then activate it with light and heat. They then rinse your mouth and check whether you need another treatment.
You may also opt for in-house bleaching, which takes about half an hour to an hour. You may need several of these appointments.
Such treatments are among the more expensive that Lake Shore Dental offers, but they also give the fastest and longer-lasting results. They are the most convenient and entail the least amount of effort on your part.
At-Home Whitening Options
For those on a tighter budget, an at-home system offers excellent results with a little more effort on your part. Lake Shore Dental provides a series of custom whitening trays that you will wear at home for a set period daily.
Dr. Waggener or Dr. Kucera will create a bleaching tray that fits your bite, ensuring that the whitening gel makes maximum contact with your teeth while better protecting your gums.
You will typically apply these for a few weeks or until you achieve the desired effects.
They may also prescribe whitening strips or whitening toothpaste to improve the results.
The difference between these Lake Shore Dental products and those you buy over the counter is the level of active ingredients. You cannot access these high-strength bleaching agents without the supervision of a professional.
