When you smile, the first thing people notice is the color of your teeth. If your teeth are a bit stained, you may have thought about whitening them to improve their appearance. It is important to consider the pros and cons of teeth whitening before making a final decision.
Teeth whitening can make your smile look healthier and may improve your overall confidence. Many people who have sparkling teeth tend to smile more often than someone who is self-conscious about the color of his or her teeth. A white smile can help to draw attention away from other imperfections on your face and help you look younger. The process does not take very long and will give you instant results.
There are some disadvantages to teeth whitening that you must consider though. There are many procedures available to you, but the most common form of teeth whitening used is bleaching. Teeth bleaching can cause increased sensitivity in the teeth, which typically is countered with toothpaste for sensitive teeth. The procedure does not take long to do, but it is not a permanent solution to your teeth discoloration. You will have to get your teeth bleached in the future, if you want to keep the sparkling smile you see after you have had your teeth whitened.
If you do not want to deal with bleaching your teeth, you may want to consider getting veneers or crowns instead of bleaching. The veneers and crowns are a bit more expensive than teeth bleaching, however they will allow you to have a beautiful smile without dealing with the chemicals and process that comes with chemical teeth whitening. It is important to talk to your cosmetic dentist about all options available to you before choosing any teeth whitening procedure. At CADH we do not offer veneers or crowns but wea��re always happy to refer you to a dentist who can take care of this for you.
