Teeth Whitening
Does Dentist-Directed Whitening Really Make a Difference?
In short, absolutely! Many of our patients who have tried over-the-counter whitening products in the past have been disappointed in the results. However, dentist-directed whitening treatments work differently than whitening strips or whitening toothpaste.
That's because professional-grade whitening solutions are more concentrated than whitening toothpastes and other over-the-counter whitening products. They can also take less time, especially if you opt for in-office treatment.
Additionally, visiting our dentist means you can benefit from a custom approach to whitening. Dr. Measells will account for individual factors like the specific color of your teeth, your goal shade, and whether you experience tooth sensitivity.
Choosing professional teeth whitening means you can receive customized treatment with quicker results.
A More Precise Approach To Teeth Whitening
Dentist-directed at-home teeth whitening treatments use whitening gel and custom whitening trays tailored to your smile. This treatment option can provide more precise results than whitening toothpastes or strips. Contact our Vicksburg, MS, team to learn about how we carefully conduct our teeth whitening treatments.

Which Choice Is Best for Me At-Home or In-Office Whitening?
Our Vicksburg office features both at-home and in-office whitening. We'll explain the advantages of both options below.
The Benefits Of At-Home Whitening
Comfortable Formula
At-home whitening is often best for patients with tooth sensitivity. This form of whitening uses a diluted solution, which is more comfortable for sensitive teeth.
Easier Schedules
Life can get hectic. If you don't have time to visit our dentist for in-office teeth whitening, you can still brighten your smile on your own schedule with a take-home whitening kit.
Convenient Location
If you feel nervous at the dentist's office, it may help to conduct your treatment at home in a convenient and comforting location.
The Benefits Of In-Office Whitening
Stronger Formulas
In-office treatments can have more concentrated formulas, since there is a dentist present to supervise the process. This can produce more immediately apparent results.
Peace of Mind
Some patients with dental anxiety feel more at ease if they have a dentist right by their side. Dr. Measells and our friendly team are here to help keep you calm during your care.
Faster Results
In-office whitening takes less time than at-home whitening. You can complete your treatment in just one visit, as opposed to in a couple of weeks.
For How Long Can I Enjoy My Results?
/
After professional whitening, you can typically expect to have a brighter smile for six months to three years. Your results will ultimately depend on the degree and color of your staining, as well as the treatment method. You can also maintain your results for longer with a bit of care.
