Are your pearly whites seeming less and less white? The consumption of dark foods and beverages, tobacco use, and simply getting older can all contribute to discoloration. Over-the-counter teeth whitening treatments are available, but they often don’t provide the dramatic results that are desired. Fortunately, professional teeth whitening can offer beautiful results in a fraction of the time! Continue reading to learn some reasons why professional teeth whitening may be for you!
Boost Your Confidence
The greatest benefit of professionally whitening your teeth is the sense of confidence you achieve afterward. When you are happy with how your smile looks, you are more likely to show it off instead of hiding it. The more you smile, the more you are signaling to the brain that you are experiencing positive emotions, making you feel them in real time! Confidence can benefit your life in many ways, making you appear more attractive, competent, and attractive to others.
Look More Youthful
Over the years, teeth become discolored due to a variety of different factors. Ultimately, having a whiter smile means having a more youthful smile. By removing the stubborn stains on your teeth, you can take years off your appearance, leaving you with a youthful glow!
Quick Results
Over-the-counter whitening kits can take months for you to see results – if you even see any at all. On the other hand, with professional whitening, you can achieve a smile that is up to 8 shades brighter in just an hour-long appointment. This is ideal if you have an event rapidly approaching. If you’d rather whiten your smile in the comfort of your own home, take-home professional whitening kits are also available. These help you see results in about two weeks.
Safe, Comfortable Treatment
When you go to a dentist for teeth whitening, they will examine your smile beforehand. This way, if you have any cavities or other dental issues that could be aggravated by teeth whitening, they can be detected and addressed. Your dentist will also make sure that the whitening agent is applied evenly and in all of the right places. This means protecting your gums and other soft tissues that could be irritated by the solution.
Everyone wants to show off a beautiful, white smile! If you are considering teeth whitening, talk to your dentist. By opting for a professional option, you can safely achieve beautiful results in a short period of time.
