Is Laser Teeth Whitening Worth It? Here’s How It Beats Drugstore Options Every Time

Teeth staining is common, regardless of how well you brush and floss. The good news is that in-office laser teeth whitening can quickly brighten your smile —much faster and safer than the drugstore alternatives. 

See Dr. Zaffer at his private practice (John T. Zaffer, DDS) in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, to take advantage of in-office laser teeth whitening to achieve vibrant brightening results that significantly elevate your smile. 

Benefits of laser teeth whitening

Laser teeth whitening with Dr. Zaffer provides the following benefits and more:

  • Brighter and whiter smile
  • Fast results
  • Low risk of complications
  • Beautiful, long-lasting results

You can achieve the white smile of your dreams in less than an hour when choosing laser teeth whitening treatment at the office of John T. Zaffer, DDS.

Laser teeth whitening vs. over-the-counter options

Choosing laser teeth whitening instead of over-the-counter (OTC) whitening products offers numerous benefits for the appearance and health of your smile. In-office whitening can make your teeth multiple shades whiter, quickly and painlessly.

Drugstore options include whitening strips, whitening mouth rinses, and whitening toothpastes. However, they don’t penetrate below the surface of your teeth and fail to brighten your teeth to the same extent as in-office laser teeth whitening.

Furthermore, over-the-counter products can cause soft tissue irritation, tooth sensitivity, uneven whitening, and a need for multiple treatments to achieve the same whitening result as in-office laser teeth whitening. 

Other teeth whitening solutions

If you desire at-home whitening options with similar outcomes as in-office laser teeth whitening, consider take-home whitening kits available with Dr. Zaffer. 

This option allows you to experience the convenience of drugstore whitening agents — but with stronger, faster, and safer whitening results. Dr. Zaffer creates custom professional take-home kits tailored to your mouth shape, teeth alignment, bite, preferences, and long-term goals. 

Reduce teeth staining

Teeth staining is a common complaint, but you can reduce the risk of tooth discoloration by avoiding (or brushing your teeth immediately after) consuming:

  • Coffee
  • Tea
  • Red wine
  • Colas
  • Dark sauces
  • Dark juices
  • Popsicles
  • Colored frostings

Avoid smoking, brush your teeth after meals, floss daily, and see Dr. Zaffer and our team for routine dental exams and professional teeth cleanings. Periodically brighten your teeth using laser teeth whitening to maintain a pearly white smile.
