Making Your Pearlie Whites Sparkle


These days, visiting the dentist does not just mean getting your teeth cleaned, having a filling or extracting a tooth. More people are visiting the dentist because they want to improve their appearance and elevate their confidence level.

One of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures today is teeth whitening which brightens discoloured or stained teeth. An initial consultation and examination with the dentist will be done to ensure that you are a good candidate for teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening is a quick method to improve the appearance of your smile. The best part is that it can be completed in about one hour! A take-home whitening kit is usually provided after treatment to enhance the results of treatment and for future touch-ups.  

Before you rush to make your whitening appointment however, here are some factors to consider:
     
•  Those with a cracked tooth, open cavities, leaking fillings, sensitive teeth, ulcers or receding gums are likely to experience sensitivity during the whitening process
•  The results vary, depending on the type of tooth discoloration, so it is important to have realistic expectations.
•  Lifestyle issues such as consumption of coffee, tea, red wine and smoking, will have an impact on how long the results of the whitening treatment will last.
