A whiter smile can make you look younger and feel more confident.

From heavy coffee consumption to undergoing the natural aging process, there are many factors that can play a role in the vibrancy of your smile. Fortunately, there are also a few ways to achieve a whiter smile, and depending on the results you are looking for, you may want to turn to our Monroe, MI, dentist, Dr. Jeanette Murphy, for professional teeth whitening. Read on to learn more!

Over-the-Counter Whitening Options

When going the drugstore route for your teeth whitening, you are given two options: toothpastes and whitening strips. Both of these products contain peroxide, a material that breaks up staining molecules in order to gradually whiten smiles. Unfortunately, these OTC products deliver results slowly and often in an uneven fashion.

For a better outcome, you can turn to the following choices:

In-Office Whitening

If you want to achieve visibly whiter results in a short period of time, the best approach is in-office teeth whitening. During this treatment, our Monroe, MI, cosmetic dentist can brighten teeth by several shades in about one hour. Not only will in-office whitening be able to tackle darker and deeper stains, but it can also be adjusted and tailored to your specific needs.

At-Home Professional Whitening Trays

If you'd prefer to whiten on your own schedule, you can still achieve professional results. Available from our Monroe office, this at-home whitening system utilizes custom-made whitening trays and stronger whitening gels than OTC products, thus producing amazing results in as little as one week!
