Teeth Whitening

Humans find a bright white smile incredibly appealing. In various market research studies, the smile has been identified as an important asset, affecting every area of life. Whether you are a student or a professional or simply want to make a good impression wherever you go, your smile will help you achieve a great many things.

A bright smile says a number of things, such as "I'm friendly" or "I'm energetic!" On the other hand, a smile that has become dull or discolored can make a person seem unhealthy, unprofessional, and even lazy, according to surveys. Additionally, people with bright, attractive smiles have been shown to feel generally better about their appearance as a whole and to take better care of their teeth.

Why does one need teeth whitening?

Tooth enamel is one of the hardest substances in the human body. This may give the impression that enamel is a solid material. In fact, there are thousands of tiny pores in enamel, just as we see on the skin. Day after day, microscopic debris from foods and beverages seeps into these pores, settling deep inside. The more debris that accumulates in enamel, the less light can be reflected and, as a result, the teeth begin to look dull and then yellow.

The fact that discoloration occurs due to the settlement of debris inside pores may make it seem as though dullness is permanent; on the contrary, a century of trial and error has led to the professional whitening treatments we know today.

Dr. Valerie Fuller offers her patients two forms of teeth whitening treatment. Many adults in the Marietta area find home whitening an ideal solution to a discolored smile. Whitening treatment that is conducted at home was the original form of treatment provided decades ago. Today, though other whitening options exist, the home whitening kit supplied by dentists remains one of the most convenient, effective ways to transform the smile.

Home whitening is simple and safe. We begin by assessing teeth and gums to confirm good oral health. Trays are then designed from impressions taken in our office. These trays will fit very well against teeth and keep our professional strength whitening solution where it belongs, preventing irritation to delicate gum tissue. Applied daily, this whitening solution will enter pores and break up the microscopic particles that have caused discoloration. Many people begin to see the color of their smile lightening after their very first treatment. Full results, however, are typically achieved in about two weeks of daily use.
