How Teeth Whitening Can Help You

While there are many at-home tooth whitening products available without a prescription or a specialists’ supervision, a visit to Dr. Scott Stone’s office at Smiles by Stone in Lansing, MI, can be the most effective way to get a whiter smile.

LED Light Brightening

Some dentists use a LED light or heat to activate the (usually hydrogen peroxide-based) solution applied to your teeth. After your procedure, your dentist can also offer some whitening products to use at home when you leave.

A Brighter Smile Over Time

It is key to keep in mind that those of us that use prosthetics like veneers and crowns may not see the same kind of improvement due to the nature of veneers and crowns. Some people may feel that their smile is bright enough already, but most people who whiten get their teeth 5-8 shades whiter than the color where they started. That’s quite an improvement!

Benefits of Whitening Your Teeth

  • Reverse the effects of aging -- teeth look darker with age
  • To clean up your teeth of residues from habits like tobacco use, drinking alcohol, dark tea and coffee, and other highly pigmented consumables
  • Some individuals are genetically predisposed to having darker teeth
  • Mask the effects of mineral shortages in the body due to things like illness and pregnancy

A Stainless Smile Flatters

Whitening your teeth increases confidence, makes the smile look more uniform -- a brighter smile helps to improve the appearance of your complexion and make your face look very pleasant. These effects assist in creating a long-lasting, good first impression on others.
