6 Ways Teeth Whitening Can Change Your Life

6 Ways Teeth Whitening Can Change Your Life

Here at Tower Dental in Balwyn, we offer various teeth whitening options. We offer a take-home whitening kit, which uses a custom tray fitted to your mouth filled with a whitening gel…all within the comfort of your own home! We also offer Zoom in-office teeth whitening. With in-office whitening, we begin by applying the whitening material on the front surfaces of the teeth, then we send you home with a touch-up kit. Both techniques are quick, easy, affordable, and give you great results.

Teeth whitening has become a popular cosmetic treatment in many people’s lifestyle. Everywhere you look, from social media to magazines to posters in malls, whiter teeth are everywhere!

Perhaps you are on the fence about teeth whitening. Teeth whitening is a safe, life-enhancing process that can have positive effect on both your physical appearance and psychological health. Here are 6 benefits of teeth whitening:

1. A Great First Impression

First impressions are everything, especially in the modern world where people make snap decisions based on a quick meeting or a profile photo. With whiter teeth, you'll be more inclined to smile more, which helps create a great first impression. And, showing off your pearly whites will make people perceive you as more successful, smarter, and more romantically desirable. 29% of Australians say the first thing they notice about someone is their teeth. As such, a whiter smile will help you build better social, romantic and professional relationships thanks to the great first impression you give.

2. Teeth whitening enhances your appearance

You might have the healthiest teeth and straightest smile but you're not immune to the damage that everyone faces from everyday food and drink. Foods, coffee, tea, and soda stain our teeth over time. After the proper whitening procedure, you'll instantly notice the difference without having to 'filter' and/or edit your photos. Teeth whitening will help combat stains from your everyday food and drink.

3. Teeth whitening minimizes the look of wrinkles

If you’re self-conscious about wrinkles, teeth whitening may be a great option for you! Instead of focusing on wrinkles, people are more likely to focus on your bright white smile. This will draw attention away from appearance of surrounding wrinkles, acne scars, and frown lines.

4. Teeth whitening doesn’t break the bank

Teeth whitening in Kew doesn’t cost as much as a plastic surgery! A touch-up kit after an in-office treatment will be enough to prolong the effect of your teeth whitening. The combination of teeth whitening plus an at-home enhancer is a small price tag that produces big results.

5. A Friendlier Appearance

Smiling is seen across cultures as a symbol of positive emotional content . So, while confident people can sometimes come across as arrogant, combining confidence and a beaming smile ensures that people perceive you as warm and friendly.

The boost in your self-confidence will also help you feel less guarded in social situations. In fact, smiling releases endorphins which help to ease your nerves, so your smile will actually help to relax you too. As a result, you'll appear, and become, more open and easier to get on with.

6. A More Youthful Appearance

As well as being more attractive, we subconsciously associate whiter teeth with youth and good health. As we age, our teeth can become discolored through stains and environmental factors. Whether you opt for a home whitening kit or professional tooth whitening, a whiter smile makes you appear younger in an instant.
