Brighten Your Smile This Summer

No matter how well you care for your teeth, sometimes the shade of your smile can be less than ideal. Discolored teeth can greatly affect the way we feel about ourselves. There is one popular cosmetic dentistry treatment that can quickly change the appearance of your smile — teeth whitening. With the start of the summer around the corner, there is no better time to whiten your smile, especially if you have an upcoming event such as a prom, wedding, graduation, or class reunion. Teeth whitening is a fast and easy treatment that can make big changes to your smile.

Benefits of Teeth Whitening

If you are looking to upgrade your smile, there is not always a need for an involved cosmetic dental treatment. Teeth whitening treatment not only whitens your smile, but it can also improve your confidence and self-esteem. It can even give you a more youthful appearance. Teeth whitening can improve staining caused by smoking, medications, aging, coffee, tea, wine, and dark soft drinks. If you are preparing to have a more extensive treatment, such as veneers, teeth whitening can be completed prior to treatment so your teeth match the new veneers. Whitening treatments can also be used to complete Invisalign® treatment.

Why Choose Professional Whitening

When taking a stroll though most local stores, you can find endless teeth whitening products, from toothpaste, whitening strips, mouthwash, whitening pens and even whitening gum. Every product makes the claim to provide beautiful results. Unfortunately, most products provide little to no improvement. Over-the-counter whitening products can also cause tooth sensitivity and issues with tooth enamel, especially if directions are not followed. Although over-the-counter whitening products are inexpensive and readily available, they should remain on the shelves. Over-the-counter products offer a one-size-fits-all approach, whereas professional whitening products are customized to fit the needs of each patient. During an oral evaluation, your dental team can help you choose the correct color for your smile. Professional products, whether applied in the office or in the comfort of your own home, are safe and designed to provide beautiful results.
