A stop on the dental products aisle of your supermarket or pharmacy will reveal a vast selection of whitening options: toothpastes, mouth rinses, strips, gels, brushes, and more. But all of these products are not as powerful as the Opalescence in-office and home teeth whitening systems Dr. Abbey Lee offers at Smiles 4 Grant Park.

Dentist-prescribed Opalescence contains a more potent strength of whitening than over-the-counter options. If you want instant whitening, our in-office treatment takes about an hour and yields results of up to 10 shades whiter enamel. The take-home kit is equally as potent, but results appear over the course of a few weeks.

In today’s blog, we’ll look at three reasons to opt for professional teeth whitening from Dr. Lee. 

• To brighten tooth enamel before having dental work
• To brighten your smile for a special event
• To look more youthful and attractive–because you deserve it

Brighten Enamel Before Restorations

If you’ll soon be getting bonding or a filling, crown, bridge, partial, or implant, you should consider professional teeth whitening prior to having your restoration or prosthetic made. Restorations and prosthetics won’t respond to teeth whitening systems, so it’s wise to whiten your teeth to their brightest shade so that we can make your dental work match. 

Then, you can whiten your teeth any time they begin to discolor and the dental work will blend seamlessly in your smile. If you don’t opt to whiten prior to dental work, and you use a teeth whitening product later, your natural tooth enamel may become brighter than your dental work. This contrast will make the dental work stand out, so it won’t look natural. 

Teeth Whitening for a Special Event

One of the best ways to look unforgettable at a wedding, class or family reunion, or for vacation or photographs is to undergo professional teeth whitening a few days prior to the event. Because whitening is affordable, it’s a great way to turn back the clock on your appearance, without having drastic plastic surgery.

Whiter Smile for a Youthful Appearance

If you don’t like the color of your teeth, you’ll be less likely to share your smile with abandon. Smiling is a natural response to positive stimuli. A bold smile makes a great first impression, and research tells us that people who undergo teeth whitening before a job interview are more likely to land both the job and a higher salary than those who didn’t whiten.

One of the main benefits of teeth whitening is that it makes a person look younger. The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry posted a poll that says people look not only younger but also more intelligent, friendly, and successful when they have a beautiful smile.

If brightening your smile with professional teeth whitening will make you smile more often, then do it! You should feel great about your smile and your appearance, so you can savor life to the fullest!
