As we start a new year, you’re busy making your New Year’s resolutions. As you commit to paying off debt or exercising regularly, is investing in your confidence at the top of your list? Believe it or not, the appearance of your teeth is directly linked to your self-esteem. If you’ve been feeling insecure about your dark, discolored smile, you can start the new year looking and feeling your best with the help of your cosmetic dentist. You can get a bright, white smile in 2020 with professional teeth whitening.
Why are My Teeth Discolored?
Tooth discoloration is a problem you can’t avoid because it’s a natural part of the aging process. Your enamel naturally thins because of daily wear and tear. This makes more of your yellowish dentin show through your enamel, making your smile look darker. Besides age, the foods and drinks you consume can also lead to stains. If you don’t have the best oral hygiene habits, you may also notice your teeth darkening as the years pass.
Why Should I Professionally Whiten My Teeth?
You’ve likely tried a few over-the-counter whitening products to turn back the hands of time, but you didn’t achieve the results you wanted. That’s because they don’t contain professional-grade whitening agents. The only way to achieve real results is with the help of your dentist.
Your dentist uses highly concentrated whitening products to get your teeth several shades whiter. Not only will you notice a change in the appearance of your teeth but also your quality of life. A bright smile is proven to change your outlook on life for the better because you’ll feel more confident about the way you look.
What are My Options for Teeth Whitening?
Now, you have a couple of options for teeth whitening in Pasadena. Your dentist will help you determine which method is right for you.
In-Office
Your teeth can become as much as 8 shades whiter after just one appointment. A protective barrier is applied to your lips and gums to reduce any irritation to your soft tissues. After placing the whitening agent on your teeth, a special dental light is used for three 15-minute intervals to activate the gel to significantly reduce the visibility of stains and discoloration.
At-Home
You can achieve in-office results from the comfort of your own home. You’re given custom-fit trays and the whitening gel to use at home for about 2 weeks. As each day passes, you’ll see your smile become noticeably whiter.
