If you’re among those that feel like summer just goes by too fast, you’re not alone. Despite the fact that the calendar shows there is still quite a bit of time left until fall officially arrives, like many people, the beginning of school or the arrival of labor day is a signal that summer has drawn to a close and fall is here.
Why do we like summer so much? For one, we think of the brightness of the days, the warmth of the summer sun, and the many things that keep us content as the days grow longer and our lives get to be just a bit more carefree. Our wardrobes are typically brighter and so are our smiles. One way to keep the brightness of a summer smile going long after summer draws to a close is by actually brightening your smile. And one super easy way to do so is with a laser teeth whitening treatment.
Laser teeth whitening is a simple, quick and painless way to get the smile you desire all year long. In fact, all it takes is a quick trip to the dentist’s office and within an hour (or less!) you’ve got a bright and beautiful smile!
To enjoy the brightness of summer all year round in the form of a brighter and whiter smile, you have a number of tooth whitening options. Laser tooth whitening, although among the most expensive of the choices, is also the most effective, the least time consuming, the longest lasting and the simplest. No other method of whitening teeth has been proven to be more effective than the process of using a laser to enhance the brightness of a smile.
Laser tooth whitening can be completed in just a single office visit. During this visit, your teeth are first thoroughly cleaned to remove any existing plaque or surface stains. Then, a solution of carbamide peroxide is applied to the exterior tooth surfaces. A plastic guard is placed over the gums and any adjacent soft tissue in the mouth prior to applying the whitening agent in order to protect them from the effects of the solution. Once the carbamide peroxide has been applied, a laser light is held over the teeth to activate the whitening agent, increasing its whitening effectiveness.
That’s all it takes to get brighter, whiter teeth! This procedure can be done by a cosmetic dentist or any general dentist that is trained in the process of laser tooth whitening. It provides dramatic effects and lasts. Of course, going back to your teeth-staining ways, like smoking, drinking red wine or indulging in your daily coffee will thwart the whitening effects over time, but unlike over the counter whitening products, laser teeth whitening procedures will withstand the culprits that dull and yellow teeth for a longer period of time.
So, if you are looking for a way to capture the brightness of summer and take it with you as you head into Fall – and you would like to enjoy the benefits of a whiter smile in the process – consider ending your summer with a laser teeth whitening procedure.
