Tooth Whitening


Smiling people look like happy people, simple!

It is sad to know that many people hide their smiles because they don’t like their teeth. A smile is one of the most influential aspects of visual communication, and if your teeth aren’t as white as they can be, it can impact self-confidence and the way you communicate.

Your smile simple, straightforward, and most important, sincere can attract more than admiring looks. A smiling face tells people that you are an outgoing and intelligent person worth getting to know. If you want to succeed in business, fill up your social calendar, and get more romance into your life? The secret may be in your smile.

Over the long term, smiling can benefit your health, perception at work, social life, and romantic status. With that much at stake, it's worthwhile to discover what your smile is saying about you -- and how to interpret the smiles flashed your way.

Many people achieve the look they’ve been dreaming of with the simple tooth whitening procedures that Building Smiles Dental Clinic offers.

What is tooth whitening?

Professional tooth whitening or dental bleaching can be used to correct discolored teeth.

Stains from coffee, teas and similar foods, age, or chemical damage to teeth cause teeth to discolor. Using the latest in bleaching technology, we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful, brilliant smile. In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, crowns or veneers may be the only choice, but because of the low cost of bleaching treatments, bleaching is nearly always worth the try.

After taking measurements of your mouth, custom bleach splints or trays are made for you, along with a special bleaching agent that you put into the clear splints. The material is used each night for about 3-4 hours for a week or two, and at the end of this time, significant whitening will occur. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. When your teeth reach the desired brightness, you may only require occasional follow-up treatment to maintain your new smile.
