By | Smiles For Life campaign, Tooth Whitening

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.

Choose A Teeth Whitening System That's Best For YouAre you unhappy with your teeth? Do you do your best ‘Mona Lisa Smile’ whenever a camera is around? There are a wide variety of cosmetic dental treatments available to you but one of the easiest and most affordable options is tooth whitening.

If you have tried teeth whitening strips or whitening toothpastes but are unhappy with the results, don’t get discouraged. The professional in-office and take-home teeth whitening formulas used by your cosmetic dentist are a higher concentration and can be much more effective while taking less time than over the counter solutions. In fact, it’s important to consult with your dentist any time you want to try a tooth whitening solution. Remember that existing dental restorations will not lighten the same way that natural tooth structure will. If you have crowns, veneers or fillings, ask your dentist the best way to whiten your smile.

Many dental practices use Boost whitening to professionally whiten patients’ smiles. This process involves painting the teeth with a bleaching gel and then curing the gel with a special light. The whole process takes about an hour and you can leave your dentist’s office with a new red carpet ready smile that is up to eight shades whiter.

If you would like a new whiter smile that can help you feel more confident when smiling and talking to others, talk to your Smiles For Life dentist today about professional teeth whitening. You can whiten your smile while helping make a real difference in a child’s life.
