Teeth Whitening

The Power of a Stunningly White Smile  

Have you ever met someone with an unforgettably white smile? Then you know that a remarkable smile creates a powerful and long-lasting impression.

What you may not know is that you can be that person with a stunningly white smile – and your dentist at The Legacy Dental Group can help with professional teeth whitening treatments.

A White Smile is More Powerful than You Might Realize

According to a study by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, almost all Americans say that a great smile is an important social asset and almost three-quarters say that an unattractive smile can hurt someone’s professional success.

When the researchers asked the participants what they noticed first about someone’s smile, whiteness and color of teeth were among the most common responses. When asked what things made a smile unattractive, discolored, yellowed, or stained teeth were the most common answers.

A white, bright smile can also make you feel more confident, which is always a powerful benefit.

Benefits of a Whiter Smile

Improved appearance and attraction

Brighter, whiter teeth enhance your overall cosmetic appeal. In fact, 37% of respondents to a Match.com poll say that they judge a first date by their smile and teeth.

A more youthful appearance

If you are like most people, you want to look and feel younger, but don’t want to undergo plastic surgery or spend a fortune in skin products. You’ll be glad to know that professional teeth whitening is one of the quickest and most affordable ways to turn back time.

Over the years, your tooth enamel is exposed to stain-causing foods and beverages. These stains and discolorations can make you look older than you are. Removing these stains through teeth whitening can make you look five years younger.

Confidence boost

Do you cover your mouth when you talk? Do you close your mouth when you smile? You aren’t alone – almost everyone with stains or discolorations try to hide their teeth.

Hiding your smile may give the wrong impression about you, though. Those who don’t know you well may think you have low self-esteem, for example. Teeth whitening can give you the confidence you need to reveal your true self.

Get a professional edge

Whitened teeth can lead to more professional opportunities. In a study by Kelton Research that involved simulated job interviews, more than half of participants with whitened teeth were more likely to be hired, 65% were thought to be more professional, and 53% received job offers for more money than those without whitened teeth.

Professional Whitening Makes the Difference

While white teeth are important, achieving and maintain beautifully white teeth is challenging. Even if you brush every day, your bright smile is vulnerable to certain foods and stain-causing liquids, such as coffee, tea, and soda. As your smile loses its brightness, it also loses its charm. Professional whitening treatment will help make your smile stunning once again.

When it comes to teeth whitening, you have a number of options. You can wade through the sea of generic over-the-counter whitening treatments from your local big box store, for example, and spend a lifetime deciding between whitening toothpastes, gels, strips, and more. While the labels promise easy use and quick results, these generic products lack the professional-grad materials and personalized treatment guidance that provides the best possible results.

Over-the-counter tooth whitening products can also provide unexpected and sometimes unwanted results. They can cause tooth sensitivity, for example, which can prevent you from eating, drinking, and brushing comfortably. They can also cause uneven results, as they do not change the color of dental work.

Professional whitening creates a starting point

Do you know how many shades whiter your teeth may become? Do you know what shade they are right now?

Your dentist does!

Professional whitening starts with an analysis of the current shade of your teeth, thereby creating a starting point.

Predictable results

Over-the-counter products are often big on promises, but short on results. Cosmetic dentists have the training and experience needed to tell you the truth about what you can expect from teeth whitening. We can help you discover any oral health conditions or stains that may not respond to teeth whitening, and help you avoid spotty, uneven results. We also have the experience to know how much whiter your teeth will be.

Customized treatment plans

Over-the-counter teeth whitening offers a one-size-fits-all solution, which would be fine if everyone on earth had the same teeth whitening needs. The problem is that everyone is different – what works for one person may not work for you. We design personalized whitening solutions that make your teeth as white as they can be while protecting your gums and overall oral health.

Effective solutions

Over-the-counter whitening products cannot use the professional-grade materials available to dentists.

Ongoing professional guidance

We’ll monitor the shade of your teeth and look for stains during your regular cleanings and checkups. If we spot any problems, we may recommend dietary options and oral hygiene habits to maintain whiteness.
