What are the benefits of smile whitening?

At Thayer Dental Care, we can help you brighten up your smile by using our smile whitening service. The most obvious benefit is that your teeth will be whiter and brighter, which will improve your overall smile. When you are happy and content with how your teeth look, it can boost your self-confidence and self-esteem. 

However, there are other benefits to smile whitening. When you have your teeth whitened by a professional, it helps remove any built-up plaque and it can also help kill any germs that are often found hiding between your teeth. By removing the plaque and germs from your teeth, this can reduce the risk of developing a serious health condition that bad oral health can often cause, such as tooth decay or gum disease. 

Whitening your teeth is not only one of the most effective ways to improve and perfect your smile, but it’s also one of the least expensive cosmetic dentistry procedures available. The great thing about this smile whitening treatment is that you will likely see significant results in around four to six weeks. 

What is the process behind smile whitening?

The products we use are safe and aim to produce faster results to get your teeth looking brighter and whiter. If you have decided that smile whitening is the right dental procedure for you, we will take molds of your teeth to create plastic whitening trays. You will also be given a special whitening gel which you need to place in each tray. 

In order to see results, you need to wear the trays in your mouth for up to several hours per day. It’s recommended that you wear the trays in your mouth once you have finished dinner and before you go to bed to allow the treatment to take effect. 

If you are looking to improve the appearance of your teeth and are hoping for a dazzling white smile to help boost your confidence, then smile whitening will help you achieve this. While you will see results of smile whitening within a few weeks and notice the change in the color of your teeth, it’s important to remember that you need to brush and floss your teeth daily to ensure your dental hygiene is the best it can be. 

If you are already satisfied with the alignment of your teeth but are still looking for a way to boost your self esteem with your smile, then teeth whitening is your best option. It is the fastest and least expensive working treatment we offer here at Thayer Dental Care. We are dedicated to helping each of our patients feel better about their smile.
