Smile Makeovers: At Home vs. at the Dental Office

Do you want to rejuvenate your pearly whites? Do you want whiter or perfectly aligned teeth? There are many ways to achieve that, and with the trends and modern dental practices today, you can choose to whiten or straighten your teeth at home.

For teeth whitening, there are many products you can buy without prescriptions from a dentist. They come in the form of strips, gels, or even over-the-counter mouth trays that you will fill with a solution to soak your teeth in. More recently, some companies give you the option of getting straighter teeth without seeing the dentist for braces. You can get dental impression kits sent to you via mail, so you can take impressions of your teeth. This will be used to get aligners measured then sent back to you, so you can wear them.

These at-home solutions, however, can be problematic because of the higher chances of treatment inefficiency and some dental health risks associated with them. You could spend money on those products and end up with unsatisfactory results because they weren’t appropriate for your condition (the aligners in particular aren’t ideal for severe misalignment).

This is why visiting a leading cosmetic dentist is still the best option. You get to have a knowledgeable practitioner assessing your dental issue(s) and recommending the ideal treatments or solutions. There’s no need for hit-and-miss fixes when you can get it right the first time with the help of a skilled dentist.
