Whiten Your Smile And Help A Child

Whitening Your Teeth Helps Children's CharitiesStraight, white teeth are no longer just for celebrities. Advancements in cosmetic dentistry over the last several years have made teeth whitening safer and more affordable for almost anyone wanting a brighter smile. Why is having a white smile important? According to a national survey by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, 96% of adults believe an attractive smile makes a person more appealing to the opposite gender, and 74% of adults feel an unattractive smile can hurt a person’s chances for career success. Having a clean, straight smile that you feel confident about enhances your social and career opportunities.

While teeth whitening has become more affordable, use caution when choosing a teeth whitening system. When it comes to treating your teeth, the quality and safety of the treatment can be the deciding factor between damaging your teeth or enhancing their look. Several do-it-yourself remedies are available, but the safest teeth whitening treatments are overseen by your Smiles For Life dentist.

Our Smiles For Life dentists offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening systems to effectively brighten your smile. The in-office Boost whitening system can whiten your teeth several shades in just one visit. Take-home whitening trays usually take a little longer, but also brighten your teeth to your desired shade.

To find out how you can brighten your smile with teeth whitening while also helping donate to children’s charities, contact your participating Smiles For Life dentist today!

Whiten Your Teeth and Help A ChildAre you interested in improving your smile with cosmetic dentistry, but don’t want to try anything too invasive? If you would like to enhance your smile, one of the most cost-effective and least invasive dental procedures is teeth whitening.

Patients who try teeth whitening are very pleased with how easy the procedure is and how stunning the results are. With a variety of whitening options, there’s never been a better time to try professional tooth whitening.

When you undergo teeth whitening, it’s important to remember to talk to your Smiles For Life dentist first. If you have existing dental work, such as dental crowns or porcelain veneers, they will respond differently to whitening than your natural teeth. Your dentist will give you the best advice about how to whiten all of your teeth consistently.

Some patients enjoy the flexibility of take home tooth whitening while others prefer to do in-office whitening. At home teeth whitening trays are available for patients to do teeth whitening on their own time with a schedule that works best for them. This option is often less expensive, but takes longer to see results. Opalescence Boost is an in-office whitening system where a dentist will coat your teeth with special whitening gel. This process usually takes about an hour and the results are instant.

All cosmetic dental patients have different needs for their smiles. Be sure to talk to your dentist to see which whitening option would work best for you. To find a Smiles For Life dentist in your area, use our ‘Find A Smiles For Life Dentist’ tool in the top right corner of this page.
