One of the first things people notice about you is your smile. Straight, white teeth are no longer the preserve of superstars. Over the last several years, advances in cosmetic dentistry have made teeth whitening safer and more inexpensive for practically everyone who wants a whiter smile. But why is a white, bright smile so important?
According to a nationwide poll conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, 96% of respondents believe that a beautiful smile makes a person more desirable to the opposite gender, while 74% say that an unpleasant smile might harm a person’s prospects of job success. Having a clean, straight grin that you are proud of improves your social and professional changes!
Types of Teeth Whitening
At Lakeshore Family Dental Care, we provide a variety of teeth whitening solutions. There is an option of a take-home whitening kit that consists of a personalized tray fitted to your mouth and filled with whitening gel…all in the comfort of your own home! Additionally, we provide in-office teeth whitening using Boost, which is my personal favorite. We begin in-office whitening by applying the whitening material to the front surfaces of the teeth, and then we send you home with a touch-up kit. Both methods are quick, easy, and cheap, and they provide outstanding results.
Benefits of Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening has become a popular cosmetic treatment in the lives of many people. Whiter teeth may be found everywhere, from social media to periodicals to mall banners.
Maybe you’re on the fence about getting your teeth whitened. Teeth whitening is a safe, life-enhancing procedure that may improve your physical look as well as your psychological health. Here are a few benefits of teeth whitening:
- Teeth whitening improves your self-esteem:
With teeth whitening, your self-confidence will rise. A grin with bright, dazzling teeth is hard to miss, whether you’re at work, on a date, making a presentation, or simply walking down the street! Whiter teeth also show others that you care about your appearance and take care of yourself. Those who are close to you will notice!
- Whitening your teeth improves your look:
You may have the healthiest teeth and a straight smile, but you are not necessarily immune to the harm caused by regular food and drink. Foods, coffee, tea, and soda discolor our teeth with time. You’ll see the change immediately after the correct whitening technique, without having to ‘filter’ and/or alter your images. Teeth whitening will aid in the removal of stains caused by common foods and beverages.
- Teeth whitening reduces the appearance of wrinkles:
If you’re self-conscious about wrinkles, teeth whitening might be an excellent alternative for you! People are more likely to notice your brilliant white grin than your wrinkles. This will shift the attention away from the look of nearby wrinkles, acne scars, and frown lines.
- Teeth whitening is not expensive:
Teeth whitening is less expensive than plastic surgery! After in-office treatment, a touch-up kit will be enough to extend the impact of your teeth whitening. Combining teeth whitening with an at-home booster is a low-cost approach that provides significant results.
