With professional teeth whitening your smile can get rave reviews around Hendersonville and beyond

Cosmetic dentistry is an interesting field. Though the intent of treatments such as teeth whitening are intended to enhance the beauty of the smile, we now have evidence that making cosmetic dental improvements has far reaching benefits. When our smiles are bright, they communicate warmth, health, confidence, and sincerity. A brighter smile minimizes the appearance of facial wrinkles and livens up the entire face with youthful exuberance. Sharing a smile with others influences their perception of you, as well as their treatment of you.

Image is an important characteristic in today’s society. We know through research that people viewed as attractive experience certain advantages than individuals whose appearances are deemed less attractive. In a 2007 study by Kelton Research, it was discovered that a bright smile improves one’s chances of receiving job offers, as well as promotions and increases in pay. This same study also determined that attractive smiles give an air of intelligence, trustworthiness, and professionalism.

With an understanding of the value of an attractive smile, we are emotionally affected when we are dissatisfied with the appearance of our teeth. Self-consciousness is a result of an unsatisfying smile, leading to inhibition in the act of smiling. The less we smile the less chance we have of making a positive impact on others at work and in social settings. The lack of a bright, open smile may be viewed as uncaring, unhealthy, hostile, or arrogant.

Teeth whitening reviews from the experts are important

We encourage our patients from Hendersonville and surrounding areas to have their teeth whitened professionally. A study by Loma Linda University reported that teeth whitening, when performed correctly by a trained professional, is one of the safest of all dental procedures. This process, in the hands of your dentist, will not weaken the hard enamel surface of teeth. The same benefits of professional whitening cannot be found in commercial products, however.

There are several benefits of professional teeth bleaching over home whitening kits. Dentists achieve results using stronger whitening solutions. The procedure is faster and more effective. Additionally, there is a higher degree of safety surrounding professional treatment, which takes into account the necessity to protect delicate gum tissue from peroxide solutions.

If you have thought professional teeth whitening is too expensive when compared to commercial products, you may be surprised at just how affordable this procedure is. In the end, professional whitening requires less time, less product, and provides better results. Once you have received your whitening trays from your dentist, as well, these trays can be re-used for periodic touch-ups, adding further value to your initial investment into teeth whitening.
