When OTC products don’t live up to the hype … 4 reasons why professional teeth whitening is “worth it”
If you are tired of wasting money on whitening products that don’t live up to the hype, let our “family” in Byron Center, Michigan, help you! Our team at VanderLaan Family Dentistry can make even the most stubborn stains disappear. For our patients, professional dental whitening services have been well worth the minimal investment of time and money – and here are four reasons why.
No. 1: It works.
Products you buy at the store or online tend to disappoint because they often don’t contain the “right” ingredients or the right amount of the active “whitener.” Dr. Matthew uses concentrated peroxide-based whitening gels, which have been scientifically proven to remove stains and lighten teeth. Our gels are also strong enough to get noticeable results.
No. 2: We get results without the risk.
Your safety is our priority. Dr. Matthew tailors’ treatment to your specific needs and goals. For instance, he recommends the right product and concentration of the whitening gel to minimize sensitivity and support your safety. Since treatment is customized and overseen by a qualified and experienced dentist, your irritation and tissue damage risk is also minimized. For example, Dr. Matthew isolates and protects the gums before applying the gel during in-office treatment. Likewise, our whitening trays are designed to fit your mouth. They won’t slip around and cause discomfort and potential complications associated with the one-size-fits-all trays.
No. 3: We keep your smile looking its brightest (and healthiest).
We can advise on ways to help you keep your teeth looking great and in good shape. Our guidance is not cookie-cutter. Specific oral care products may be ideal for your unique needs. Or, we can advise on nutrition and other risk factors to prevent future staining and prolong treatment results. Since we are your family’s one-stop for dental care, we can get you into a healthy routine of regular checkups. During these checkups, one of our talented hygienists will remove any surface stains to prevent them from building up. This is one of the best things you can do for the appearance of your smile and the health of your teeth and gums.

No. 4: It’s a smart investment.
We know you want to get the most out of your investment of time and money. With professional teeth whitening, you get more bang for your buck. It is amazing how much better our patients’ smiles look after just one “power” whitening treatment. Or, for those who want (or maybe better candidates for) gradual whitening, results can be revealed in days – pop in the trays as instructed and watch your teeth get lighter, little by little, until you reach your goal shade. You don’t have to keep wasting money on ineffective OTC pastes, gels, kits, and other products. VanderLaan Family Dentistry also offers medical-grade whitening strips that get the job done and products you can’t buy at the store, like MI Paste® by GC America (for chalky white spots and other types of discoloration).
We’re confident professional teeth whitening will be worth it for you. To find out more, schedule a consultation at our office in Byron Center, MI, by calling (616) 288-2554 today.
