Teeth Whitening: Key To Success?

Woman with White Teeth Smiling

Universally valued by men and women, teeth whitening treatments remain the most requested cosmetic dental service. Perhaps this is because whitening treatments are non-invasive and designed to match any budget and time frame. Even so, in a recent article sponsored by CBS12 News, when individuals want to experience success in work and in love, one thing they can do is whiten their smile.

The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry adds that nearly 48% of people believe that one’s smile is the most memorable feature after meeting someone. Most dental professionals agree, as a smile is what shapes the perception of others. In fact, those with brighter smiles are assumed to be more friendly, outgoing and healthy. Moreover, individuals that have received teeth whitening note a newfound confidence to approach situations, both in their personal and professional lives.

Who Is A Candidate For Teeth Whitening?

As with most cosmetic dental treatments, patients best suited for teeth whitening have relatively healthy teeth and gums, and are committed to regular dental checkups. More specifically, however, those with sensitive teeth and allergies to peroxide are not the best candidates. Similarly, those with gum disease, worn enamel, dental cavities or receding gums are usually discouraged from teeth whitening treatments.

To better understand, whitening solution penetrates into the inner areas of teeth. Thus, if decay is present, the process of teeth whitening may cause teeth to become extremely sensitive. On the other hand, if a patient has exposed roots, this section of the tooth will not whiten, because it does not have the outer layer of tooth enamel. The same is true for dental restorations such as crowns, veneers, bonding and bridges.

With this in mind, the good news concerning teeth whitening is that dental professionals are well equipped to help patients obtain the smile that they want and deserve. For some, this may involve whitening their teeth and replacing old fillings or dental bonding to provide the best color match. For others, it may require a new commitment to dental care that preserves the quality of their smile.
