Teeth Whitening in Raleigh, NC
Your teeth can be healthy, straight and perfectly aligned, but if they’re yellowed or stained you’re still not putting your best smile forward. Learn the basics about teeth whitening, including the process of having your teeth professionally brightened by a dentist. Dr. Ashley Lloyd offers this commonly requested cosmetic treatment at her Raleigh, NC office.
Why Do Patients Desire Whiter Teeth?
Your teeth are the first thing that people notice when you talk or smile. That’s why patients spend over $11 billion each year on whitening solutions. Surveys have found that the vast majority people believe that an attractive, white smile makes you more successful socially, professionally and romantically. Senior patients often desire whiter teeth because it makes them look younger, vibrant and healthy.
Teeth Whitening Options
There are a number of possible options for patients to explore when they want whiter teeth. Some people choose to go for over the counter products which include whitening strips, trays and mouthwashes. The problem with these solutions is that they’re often difficult to use and usually take a long time to produce results. For instance, OTC whitening trays take weeks to work and are messy to deal with on a daily basis. Patients who want reliable and immediate whitening results opt for treatment at a dentist’s office.
