Reasons to Consider Teeth Whitening

Reasons to Consider Teeth Whitening

Are you thinking about easy ways to revive your appearance? With the start of a New Year, many people are thinking about ways to improve their smiles. But transforming your smile doesn’t need to be invasive, time-consuming or break the bank. Find out one easy way your Lincoln Park and Lakeview Chicago cosmetic dentist Dr. Eric Schoening, DDS can make your smile pop!

Say Goodbye to Stains

Coffee, berries and wine are just some of the foods and drinks that can leave some pretty nasty stains on teeth. And if your brushing habits aren’t up to par you may find yourself dealing with some long-term discolorations that are hard to remove. If this is the case then it may be time to consider in-office whitening, which can get some smiles up to eight shades whiter in just one hour.

Increase Your Confidence

It goes without saying that any improvement to your appearance is going to go a long way to boosting your self-esteem. Think about how much a brighter smile will make you more confident. And as we all know smiling offers a lot of wonderful benefits including reducing stress, increasing endorphins and promoting lower blood pressure (to name a few!).

Be Special Occasion-Ready

Whether you have an important job interview or your wedding is coming up, professional teeth whitening is the fastest and most effective way to get your smile ready for the big day. Many patients in Lincoln Park and Lakeview, Chicago can get the radiant smile they want in just one whitening session. Or opt for our customized at-home whitening system so you can brighten your smile at home in only a few weeks.

Hide Your Age

It’s pretty normal for teeth to yellow as we age, which can certainly give those around us a peek into how old we really are. But with teeth whitening your smile won’t give away your age (unless, of course, you tell people!).

Boost Oral Hygiene

Once you finally get a whiter smile chances are good that you’re going to take the steps you need to maintain that smile, which will probably equate to better oral hygiene. Whether that means timing yourself to make sure you’re brushing for at least two minutes twice a day or holding yourself accountable for flossing each day, those who opt for cosmetic dentistry like teeth whitening often amp up their at-home oral routine to keep up their beautiful results.

Teeth whitening is a great option for many people looking to brighten their smiles quickly. If you want to find out if professional teeth whitening is right for your smile then it’s time to turn to your Lincoln Park and Lakeview Chicago, IL cosmetic dentist:  Eric Schoening, DDS.
