If you’re considering teeth whitening, you might wonder which option is best: an in-chair session at the dentist’s office or a take-home kit. Both have their advantages, so understanding the key differences helps you make the best choice for your lifestyle, budget, and dental goals.
Why Choose the In-Chair Option
In-chair whitening is a quick and proven option for those looking to achieve dramatic results in a single visit. Using a professional-grade gel, this procedure can lighten teeth by several shades in just one appointment. At Smile Dental Studios Tarneit, we offer the Philips Zoom! system, designed to brighten teeth by up to eight shades in about an hour. This method is ideal if you’re preparing for a special event, such as a wedding or important business meeting, and want to see fast results.
Your in-chair procedure is performed under the supervision of a dental professional. This controlled environment ensures your gums and surrounding tissue are protected throughout the procedure, minimising potential sensitivity. The entire procedure is worry-free and offers long-lasting results that many find worth the investment.
The Benefits of Take-Home Kits
Take-home kits offer a convenient solution for those who prefer the flexibility of whitening at their own pace. These kits from Philips Zoom include custom trays and professional-grade gel, allowing you to whiten at home. Over about a week, you’ll begin to see noticeable results. Take-home kits are especially useful for those with busy schedules, allowing you to whiten when it’s most convenient.
Additionally, these kits are ideal for maintaining your in-chair results. After achieving your desired shade, you can use your take-home kit for occasional touch-ups, helping your smile stay bright for longer.
Which Option Is Right for You?
Ultimately, the best choice depends on your goals. In-chair service may be ideal for immediate results and a more intensive experience. But a take-home kit can be a great alternative if you prefer the convenience of doing it on your own time.
