Advantages of Tooth Bleaching

Teeth whitening is generally considered a mere cosmetic treatment. During a tooth bleaching treatment, a topical bleaching solution is applied to the teeth by our cosmetic dentist in Northridge. As the peroxide penetrates through the dental enamel, it breaks up the stains inside the enamel and dentin. Teeth are left looking brighter and more attractive. However, the benefits of whitening go far beyond a whiter smile. Here is what you can expect after your next teeth whitening treatment.

1.    A more youthful appearance
Discolored teeth are often associated with age not just because older teeth have had more time to accumulate stains but are also more likely to be worn. Bleaching can take years off your smile and your looks.

2.    Increased self-confidence
A bright smile is generally considered more attractive, which can leave you feeling better about yourself.

3.    Greater social, professional, or personal success
Studies have shown that a smile can play a big role in relationships and can make a big difference in your success.

4.    Better dental health
A pretty smile alone may not affect your dental health, but keeping your smile looking its best will require good dental hygiene. Many people find that they are more committed to healthy dental habits once their teeth have been whitened.
