TEETH WHITENING
Of all the cosmetic techniques in dentistry teeth whitening is the most commonly sought after as it is
inherently painless and does not typically require reconstruction or surgery, yet produces in most cases
startling transformation of the patient’s smile. It will also in still confidence and an increased desire to mix
socially. As a result the cosmetic dentistry practitioners are spending more time, capital and effort in
improving the techniques that result in a bright white clean smile.
However it is not quite as simple as it may seem. For example many people blessed by good teeth that are
the foundation of a radiant smile may only need a daily brush to keep their teeth gleaming. Others
unfortunately are stuck with off-white or dark-white teeth that require much further treatment. For them all
the brushing in the world would not change the structure of their teeth enamel – they still would have a
yellow smile. As frustrating as it can be in decades gone past they just had to live with this infliction. Indeed
often if that was the case they typically required radical solutions such as crowns to replace these
unattractive but healthy teeth. This is where the techniques for teeth whitening have evolved to prevent the
loss of healthy and often strong teeth just for the sake of a winning smile.
