Professional vs. Store-Bought Teeth Whitening Products: What’s Best For Your Smile?

Cosmetic Dentistry, Parker & Pennington Dentistry

When it comes to brightening your smile, the options can feel overwhelming. Drugstore shelves are stocked with whitening strips, trays, and pens, while your dentist offers professional in-office treatments that promise dramatic results. Both approaches have their pros and cons, and the right choice depends on your goals, budget, and lifestyle. Let’s take a closer look at professional teeth whitening treatments versus over-the-counter whitening products so you can make the best decision for your smile.

Restoring Your Smile With Crowns & Fillings

Parker & Pennington Dentistry, Restorative Dentistry

A tooth with decay or other damage requires repair, or the damage will spread, eventually compromising the tooth irreparably. Thankfully, we have fillings and crowns to get the job done. A filling or a crown not only saves a tooth but also restores its strength, structure, and appearance. But when does a tooth need a filling, and when does it need a crown? To answer that question, it’s important to understand what each treatment does.
