If you feel more confident with whiter teeth and a brighter smile, then you should consider teeth whitening as a way to improve your smile. Teeth whitening is an in-office procedure that is safe and produces quick results that can last for a year or more.
There are many benefits to teeth whitening from a general dentist. In addition to brighter teeth and an improved smile, many patients see improved confidence and are more motivated to care for their oral health after a professional in-office teeth whitening procedure. The following is a closer look at each benefit.
Perhaps the main reason patients choose professional teeth whitening is to brighten their teeth. For most, this gives them a more attractive smile that gives them confidence. A brighter smile can help in both your personal and professional life by giving you more confidence, an improved appearance and a more professional look when in a work setting (job interview, conference, etc.). During in-office teeth whitening, the dentist determines the shade of the patient’s teeth before and after treatment so they can see the improvements that are made.
As mentioned, most patients who receive teeth whitening feel an increase in their confidence level. This gives many the motivation to do the things they love in life and enjoy moments more without worrying about their smile. No one should have to feel insecure about their smile, and everyone who does not have the confidence level they desire due to a non-ideal color shade should consider professional teeth whitening from a general dentist.
For many, the better their smile looks the more willing they are to practice their oral hygiene routine consistently and limit foods that may harm their teeth. Therefore, in addition to the immediate oral health benefits the treatment process offers, many patients see their long-term oral health improve after professional teeth whitening. Certain foods and drinks increase the risk of early stains, whereas good oral hygiene and a proper diet can make the results of professional teeth whitening last for a year or more.
When you schedule a teeth whitening consultation with a general dentist, the visit also serves as a regular dental check-up. This means the dentist conducts an oral examination to see if there are any oral health or cosmetic issues the patient may have not been familiar with. If there are, the issues can also be addressed, in addition to brightening the patient’s smile with in-office teeth whitening. In some instances, the patient may need procedures to address oral health concerns such as cavities and weakened enamel before teeth whitening.
