Tooth Whitening Makes Your Smile Sparkle! Statistics reveal that Americans place
a high value on their smile. According to an American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry® national
survey:
92% of Americans believe an attractive smile is an important social asset. 85%
of Americans believe an unattractive smile makes a person less appealing to the
opposite sex. 74% of Americans believe an unattractive smile can hurt a person's
chances for career success. 50% of Americans are not satisfied with the appearance
of their own smile.
If you are not happy with your smile, tooth whitening
may provide the solution. Tooth Whitening procedures
can help lighten coffee-stained teeth, remove cigarette
and tobacco discolorations and correct yellowing
in teeth due to aging. In general, bleaching works
for most people. Tooth bleaching is most effective
if your teeth are darkened from age, coffee, tea
or smoking. Teeth darkened with the color of yellow,
brown or orange respond better to lightening. Other
types of gray stains caused by fluorosis, smoking
or tetracycline can be lightened, but with less-than-satisfactory
results.
As in any dental procedure, it is recommended that
you consult with your Dr. Krause to find out which
tooth whitening procedure is best for you.
