During the month of September, there is a huge emphasis on healthy aging. Along with a nutritious diet, exercise program, preventative care and social stimulation, dental care is very often overlooked as a valuable aspect of keeping us healthy.
Of course, dental hygiene and keeping regular oral checkups up to date are critical for dental health, but what about the aging of your teeth and the way that they look? Does your smile need a lift? Do you feel insecure about the color of your teeth?
Before you answer that question, we’re not referring to you getting a costly major cosmetic overhaul with veneers, crowns, bridges, or implants. We’re talking about a simple professional procedure that will make your smile look better, brighter, whiter, and give you a lift in less than 30 minutes.
So, why does it matter what your teeth look like? Well, most people don’t like having a dull, yellow, or a grayish smile. In fact, many people are unaware of the fact that whitening your teeth is simple, easy, long lasting and safe. If they knew that the confidence boosting procedure was so quick and effective, more people would take advantage of the Premier Smiles Studio in Naples, Fl. Increasing your confidence with a whiter smile is an instant mood lifter, which is essential to healthy aging.
All whitening is not the same
Any over-the-counter toothpaste, whitening strips, or gel typically has a far less percentage of carbamide peroxide (which is the bleaching agent) than professional tooth whitening gels. Professional whitening usually has between 30-44 percent carbamide peroxide. The peroxide creates a porous surface and allows the agent to penetrate into the teeth. This infiltration allows for the intrinsic stains to be lightened. No over the counter toothpaste or gel can get your teeth as white as professional methods.
The process takes just a few minutes; your gums and soft tissue will be protected, as only your teeth will be exposed. The gel will be applied, and an FDA approved LED light will help to make the process quick and more effective than any over-the-counter application systems.
What to expect
Your teeth will be remarkably lighter, but not fake white, as teeth will only lighten to a natural tooth color. Although the results are long lasting, many clients choose to purchase whitening toothpastes, pens and maintenance gels to use at home. Typically individuals will see a brighter smile for 6 to 12 months, depending on your diet and dental hygiene.
Whitening your teeth is an excellent way to boost your confidence and make you feel like you’ve had a little lift to your appearance. Whiter teeth are perceived as healthy; knowing that you take pride in your appearance will have a positive impact on you, and those around you.
