Teeth Whitening Brightens Smile, Builds Self-Esteem

Millions of people have dental discoloration in varying degrees. Even if they brush and floss, the natural radiance of their teeth can fade due to our diet, the environment, and the passage of time.

Fortunately, there are many whitening options that are affordable and deliver dramatic results. Whitening your teeth is an incredibly effective way to brighten your smile, and dentist-supervised treatment is the safest, most dependable way to a favorable outcome.

Most likely a good candidate for treatment because the procedure is low-risk with minimal side effects. You should still check with your dentist first because there are certain factors—porcelain veneers, crowns, dental bonding, or worn enamel, among others—that preclude treatment.

When you visit your dentist, be sure to find out if she performs teeth whitening on a regular basis. Ask about the different methods available, including laser whitening like Zoom, and customized whitening trays.

Where to Begin
A consultation with your dentist should inform you about:
  • your candidacy for teeth whitening
  • which whitening option is best for you
  • whether an in-office or at-home solution is right for you

Cost
The cost of whitening depends on the type of treatment. When making a choice, remember that the lower priced/over-the-counter forms of whitening are often the least effective.
  • Take-home treatments cost $276 at Pickart Dental, including the cost of whitening trays and gel.
  • In-office whitening can cost $400 to $500, depending on the number of sessions needed. Pickart Dental Zoom is $468.
The best way to document your whitening process is to have the dentist match the color of your teeth to a shade guide both before and after treatment. This visual guide not only shows you the transformation, but also creates a record for any future touch-ups that might be needed.

If you follow a professional whitening regimen, your smile should dramatically improve along with a huge boost in self-esteem. Just be sure to heed the advice of your dentist and keep your expectations realistic.

Thank you for informing me that there are actually many teeth whitening options and that your dentist can help you pick the best options for you. About a week ago, I realized that my teeth are yellow! I bet that it is because I have been drinking more coffee because I haven't been sleeping well. Anyways, I want to feel confident when I talk and smile and eat. I will have to follow your tips and look into teeth whitening options.
