Get Your Smile Holiday-Ready: The Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

The bright, white smile: it’s an attention-getter and first-impression maker like no other. What better way to tour the parties and events this holiday season than with a kilowatt smile?
At Redmond Smiles Family & Implant Dentistry, we’re about more than simply oral health. We want your smile to glow, so we offer chairside teeth whitening so that your teeth can be brighter than they’ve ever been, brighter even than your natural tooth color.
Ahead of the holidays this year, consider a professional teeth whitening treatment with us, in Redmond or Bellevue, Washington. Here are some of the benefits you can expect.
The reasons your teeth dull down
To start with, your teeth were probably never pure white. Natural tooth enamel is generally ivory, with varying amounts of gray or yellow. On top of that, foods you eat can stain, things like blueberries, cherries, tomatoes, tea, coffee, and wine. Even some medications can discolor your teeth.
Dental cleanings and regular brushing can help, but they can’t keep your teeth ahead of the stain game. Teeth whitening is the way to go, so let’s look at why professional treatments rule the pack.
Consumer whitening products
Teeth whitening is a significant market in the United States, estimated to be in the billions of dollars annually. It’s a clear sign of the popularity of bright smiles. Yet, over-the-counter products simply don’t deliver what you can get in a dentist’s chair.
The difference comes down simply to safety and strength. Bleaching tough tooth enamel requires powerful formulas that can easily harm delicate tissue like your gums. That means that, for across-the-board safety, consumer whitening products have a fraction of the power of the bleaches used by dental professionals trained in their use.
If you only need a tiny bit of brightness, whitening products at department stores and pharmacies may be sufficient. If you’re looking to make a splash over the holidays, go for professional whitening to dial up the dramatic effects.
The benefits of professional teeth whitening
If you still need convincing, consider the benefits of dental office whitening treatments.
Single-session results
Powerful professional whiteners, applied in multiple applications in a single appointment, are the fastest way to make the biggest difference. Your teeth can be between three and eight shades brighter when you walk out the door.
Personalized results
Worried about a smile that’s “too white”? We can dial in the brightness you want, providing the best results to optimize your confidence.
Long-lasting
Your teeth remain susceptible to stains even after whitening, but professional whitening penetrates deeper, assuring the longest-lasting results.
It’s motivating!
A bright smile can be a springboard to improving your oral health routine to make the whitening session last its longest. Smile brightening may be part of a wider aesthetic plan that includes skincare and other treatments to improve your appearance.
It comes down to confidence. Contact Redmond Smiles Family & Implant Dentistry at the nearest of our two locations to learn more about improving your smile for the holidays. Call or click today.
