Smile and the world smiles with you. A boost that'll give your teeth a white dazzle can give you more confidence and help you to look younger.

Our faces play a vital role in creating that first impression. It takes just the blink of an eye to work out if someone's attractive or not . It's therefore really important that our smile, and that includes our teeth, looks its best.

We've drawn up a list of the top ten benefits of professional teeth whitening. It's a fast and safe solution for a brighter, whiter smile.

1. Professional Teeth Whitening Is Fast

You can have whiter teeth after just one visit. Imagine being able to book a whitening session during your lunch break and walk out with whiter teeth. Well, you can.

This is great for patients who have a big event coming up and who need to have fast results.

The speed of results is faster than that offered by products you can buy online or over the counter at your pharmacy. You may need to use these for weeks, or even months, to see any noticeable results.

2. It's the Safest Option

A professional whitening treatment is going to be much safer . This is because you have an experienced expert carrying out the procedure. They'll be able to monitor your progress every step of the way.

A professional can jump in immediately if you have issues with extreme sensitivity or any other type of discomfort.

Some discoloration will not respond to whitening treatment. An expert can talk you through this. That could save you wasting time and money for results that are simply not possible. Excessive whitening could also even cause dental damage.

3. Strong and Thorough Whitening

The whitening gels available to dentists come in a professional strength . They contain a peroxide intensity many times greater than those available at the pharmacy.

This means a professional treatment will remove stubborn stains that an in-store kit wouldn't be able to shift.

Professional treatments are thorough. This means gaps between treatments range from one to a few years. That's going to save you money in the long term.

4. A Complete Whitening

All our mouths are different. The whitening kits available in pharmacies tend to be a one size fits all.

The strength of the gel can't usually be adjusted either. So the results may be good for one person but not for another. The consequence may well be unbalanced, with some teeth looking perfectly white, and others still showing stains.

A professional whitening session is going to give you better, whiter and more even results.

5. Comfortable Sessions

Your dentist will ensure no bleaching agent gets on the gums. Leaving gel on teeth for too long could also damage the enamel. That could happen if you're using a DIY kit at home.

Gel on the gums can cause tooth sensitivity. If you often suffer from sensitive teeth then your dentist will be able to adjust how long the bleaching product is left on. They may even offer a product that's more appropriate to your needs.

Your dentist will also be able to give you advice on how to look after your teeth and reduce their sensitivity.

6. Bespoke Treatments

Trays that fit the mouth badly are the biggest cause of uneven whitening and sensitivity in the teeth and gums.

For professional treatments, custom-made trays can be made that'll fit your mouth like a glove. These can then be taken away for 'top-up' treatments at home. They'll protect the lips and gums from coming in contact with the gel.

Professional whitening will give you the exact amount of whiteness that you want and in the areas that most need it.

7. You're in Control

Your smile is your own so it's up to you how white you would like to go. With a treatment purchased at a store, you have no control over how much whiter your teeth can become.

You will be able to discuss with your dentist the kind of result you're looking for. They'll, in turn, be able to let you know what is and what isn't possible.

So, whether you just want to go a couple of shades lighter or are looking for something more extreme, you'll be firmly in the driving seat.

8. Talk to the Experts

Whitening your teeth is a simple procedure that can have dramatic results. It's quite normal to have a lot of questions about how the process works. Your dentist will be able to talk you through all the ins and outs.

It may well be worth having your teeth professionally cleaned before you receive the whitening treatment, for example.

Your dentist will also be able to examine your teeth. They'll be able to point out any significant issues that may have an impact on the teeth whitening procedure. Sometimes darker teeth can signify tooth decay or root canal issues.

9. Results That Will Last

Professional whitening treatments will have longer lasting results. With a kit bought over the counter, you may have to undergo several treatments. After that, the results still may not be as good as you'd like.

Your dentist may offer you the chance to take home a maintenance kit. This will allow you to maintain the color of your teeth so that they're always your desired shade.

10. Smile with Confidence

Once your teeth have been professionally whitened, you'll immediately feel increased confidence. This can help in all sorts of situations, from attending a wedding to going for a job interview.

Whiter teeth also give you an increased sense of pride in your appearance. This encourages you to keep yourself well dressed and well groomed.

Your teeth will have an even white color that looks natural.
