If you’re afraid or embarrassed to smile, you’re not alone. Whether it’s dull and yellow teeth from wear-and-tear, or other cosmetic issues like cracks, gaps, or fractures, many American adults are unhappy with how their teeth look and even go so far as to cover their mouth while out in public. Teeth whitening is a great way to give your smile an instant boost and makeover without investing in more invasive and expensive work.
Our prosthodontist, Dr. Ramin Mahallati, and our team at the Center for Implant & Esthetic Dentistry offer a range of cosmetic and restorative dentistry services at our Beverly Hills, California, office.
Although many people wait until the start of the new year to invest in a new diet, lifestyle change, or workout routine, the beginning of the holiday season is the perfect time to address oral health problems or make cosmetic improvements to your smile.
As one of the busiest and most social times of the year, getting through the holidays can be stressful when you feel self-conscious or uncomfortable with how your teeth look.
When it comes to teeth whitening, professional treatments deliver fast and noticeable results that you can’t achieve with over-the-counter treatments like whitening strips, toothpaste, and gels. While they can help maintain your smile over time, they won’t deliver the same results as professional treatments.
Some products also contain abrasive ingredients that can harm tooth enamel and increase the risk of staining and damage in the future.
Depending on your circumstances, a single in-office treatment might be sufficient for your holiday professional teeth whitening treatment.
Improved confidence and self-esteem can make your holidays much less stressful and more enjoyable. You can relax and enjoy your time with friends, colleagues, and loved ones without having to hide your teeth or worry about being judged.
Good oral health is always the basis for a beautiful smile. If you haven’t been to the dentist for an exam and cleaning lately, the holiday season is also a great time to treat any oral health issues, like cavities or gingivitis.
Starting the holiday season with optimal dental health and a professional teeth whitening treatment can be a great incentive to enjoy your favorite snacks and treats in moderation to protect your new, bright smile.
