Having whiter, brighter teeth can help you achieve a more beautiful smile. Many patients would agree that a smile is one of the first things other people notice about you. Keeping your smile in great condition should be important to every patient. However, there are a number of factors that can influence the color and overall appearance of your teeth. Stained and discolored teeth are some of the most common cosmetic dental concerns. If stained or discolored teeth are affecting the appearance of your smile or confidence, you may want to inquire about teeth whitening treatment.

Teeth whitening is a quick, effective way to brighten your smile. In just one visit to our Herndon, VA dentist office, Dr. Mark Jefferies can help you achieve a whiter, brighter smile. Our team will work with you to determine if professional teeth whitening is right for you.

Professional Teeth Whitening Vs. Over The Counter Teeth Whitening

When searching for a solution to whiten your teeth, it is easy to choose over the counter teeth whitening options because they are easily available. However, over the counter teeth whitening often provide inconsistent, hardly noticeable results. In the end, patients end up wasting time and money trying to achieve a brighter smile.

Professional teeth whitening offer several advantages over the counter whitening. Professional teeth whitening is performed by a highly trained cosmetic dentist who has the skill set and knowledge needs to transform your smile.

When applicable, we recommend professional teeth whitening because it offers these key benefits:

  • Faster Results: In-office teeth whitening can brighten your teeth up to 10 shades during one office visit. With over the counter teeth whitening, it will take longer to achieve your desired results.
  • Reduces Tooth Sensitivity: We take every precaution to ensure you are comfortable during your teeth whitening treatments. The lips, gums, and surrounding areas are covered with a protected covering to limit any irritation.
  • High-Quality Bleaching Agents: Our professional grade bleaching agents are designed to penetrate the tooth enamel and brighten the teeth multiple shades.
