The truth is, there are many differences between receiving care at home or at our office. Over-the-counter methods are popping up everywhere for people to take advantage of, the only problem is results may not be as great with regular brand treatment. Bright, white teeth can grab anyone\u2019s attention, but if you\u2019re not using the correct treatment, it\u2019s a waste. When you come to our office in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentalgroupwest.com\/contact-us.html\">Toledo, OH<\/a>, we can provide you with excellent in-office whitening treatment that can make your smile brighter and whiter than ever before. Perrysburg residents are in for a treat when they choose to see us for whitening treatment.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Over the Counter vs. In-Office Treatment<\/h3>\n<p>You can go to any grocery store and find over-the-counter whitening treatment. You\u2019ve most likely seen commercials or heard radio advertisements for these supposed \u201cgreat\u201d whitening products. Safety becomes a major issue when discussing these whitening treatments. Unlike professional teeth whitening where the dentist is well aware of the chemicals and whitening agents that compose in-office whitening, nobody really knows what\u2019s inside of over-the-counter treatment. The results aren\u2019t that great either. Tooth sensitivity and oral sores are most commonly experienced by patients that use them.<\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, we have in-office treatment. The first benefit right-off-the-bat is the fact that the procedure is overseen by a licensed dental professional. Our in-office treatment can get your teeth looking up to several shades brighter and can be completed in just one office visit. You can\u2019t get those type of results with over-the-counter brands. Not only do they not work fast enough, but the results are mixed and most often not even worth it in the end. There\u2019s simply no better way to get your teeth white than coming to our office and having our dental team get to work on making your smile look amazing.<\/p>\n<h3>Schedule a Whitening Appointment Today<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s so much to learn about whitening treatment that we can\u2019t fit it all in this blog post. You can, however, speak with our staff and make an appointment. Don\u2019t\u2019 bother with over-the-counter brands with questionable chemicals. In-office treatment is great for all patients and, most importantly, is safe. We welcome all residents scattered throughout the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentalgroupwest.com\/contact-us.html\">Toledo, OH<\/a> area to visit us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting your teeth white shouldn\u2019t have to be a hassle, but it can sometimes turn into one, especially when it comes to what type of treatment you\u2019re receiving \u2013 in-office or at home.
