According to the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), over one-third of Americans find serious fault in their smiles. And yet, you can easily expect that specific feature to be the focus of the holidays. As friends and loved ones whip out their smartphones throughout the season, chances are you’ll be the highlight of countless images for weeks to come. And yet 50% of young Americans opt to untag themselves due to poor confidence issues. Why bother running from the camera for another minute when cosmetic dentistry can save the day? In fact, professional teeth whitening can be the best gift you can give yourself this season. But what are the real benefits of such a simple and popular procedure?
Increase Your Confidence
Based on findings via the National Institute of Teeth Whitening, 63.8% of home users see a slight difference in over-the-counter box kits; whereas 82% of dental patients recognize significant changes in professional teeth whitening applications. It all comes down to the solution content: around 35% carbamide peroxide for pro treatments compared to less than 10% peroxide for most store-bought kits. That potentially results in a ten-shade difference for a professional smile makeover which, in turn, leads to instant confidence from the moment you leave the office.
Make an Amazing First Impression
Did you know almost 50% of Americans recognize a smile as the most memorable feature after an initial meeting. So in essence, your smile or lack thereof can make or break that first impression. Chances are you’ll make plenty of those from potential new friends during shopping treks, to your new significant other’s close family members. So why let a dull smile damper what could otherwise be the start of a beautiful new connection?
Improve Your Relationship and Career Chances
Lack or loss of income and romance are seasonal downers. And when they go hand-in-hand, the holidays can seem lonely and hopeless. But what if a simple cosmetic dentistry procedure could improve your chances on both fronts? While life success comes down to more than an attractive smile, 75% of adults admit they believe an attractive smile paves the way to career success. While 50% of adults admit to avoiding a second date with someone who has an unattractive smile, 90% of adults admit that a pleasant smile is an especially sexy and attractive quality. So why continue hiding when professional teeth whitening can drastically improve your life?
Professional Teeth Whitening Is Painless, Efficient, and Long Lasting
A common issue with store-bought box whitening kits is that they’re known for causing unexpected post-use sensitivity. Since multiple follow-up uses are often needed, enamel weakness can occur as well. Professional teeth whitening agents are customized and carefully measured out and expertly applied to each tooth to give you the results you want and deserve. The process can be completed during your lunch hour and results can last several months at a time. So why wait another minute to schedule your holiday smile makeover?
