If your morning coffee or evening bottle of wine routine has taken a toll on your smile over the years, and you’re looking for a way to turn back the clock, a simple teeth whitening may do just the trick. It’s unfortunate that our teeth tend to age just like we do, and some of our favorite vices only speed up the process. Coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco are some of the worst offenders. But before we go and do anything drastic, like tell you to quit, we’d like to offer an alternative solution (step away from the ledge).

At Complete Dental Health, we offer several options for safe, effective, professional strength teeth whitening that fits your needs. If you prefer to get it over with as quickly as possible, we offer in-office whitening treatments that can remove years of stains in a single office visit. If you prefer to whiten on your own time from the comfort of your couch while binge-watching your favorite show on Netflix, we also have take-home kits available for your convenience.

When it comes to over the counter versus professional whitening treatments, it’s the same principle that applies to any professional service. Yes, they sell boxed hair dye at the store, but anyone who cares about their hair will spend the money to have it done professionally. Yes, there are hundreds of teeth whitening products you can pick up along with your groceries (how convenient). While they may be mildly effective at removing surface stains, only a professional whitening treatment can remove those deep, intrinsic stains that give teeth their color.
