Patients in Antioch and surrounding areas benefit from a visit to the dentist for teeth whitening

One of the first things that others notice about you is your smile. For a quick and convenient lift, teeth whitening, under the care of your dentist is the way to go. Even with the emergence of over-the-counter whitening products, professional teeth whitening remains one of the most requested cosmetic procedures, for good reason.

Your smile is one of your best assets, affecting various important areas of your life. An attractive smile begins with healthy teeth and gums. When teeth are dull and discolored, your tendency to smile will likely be inhibited. We believe that our patients from Brentwood, Antioch, and other areas deserve to feel great about their smiles. The benefits of working with your dentist for teeth whitening may be somewhat surprising. They include:

• Having white teeth allows you to smile freely. This physical act of smiling releases endorphins, those feel-good peptides that give the mood a boost. Smile more and feel better!


• A brighter smile often leads to better oral health. Following teeth whitening, we find that many people have the tendency to practice a higher level of oral hygiene to sustain the results achieved through treatment. These practices, maintained over time, promote oral health and improve general health.


• Dull teeth have long been associated with age. The older enamel gets, the more it will look dull and discolored. Thus, brightening the smile with professional teeth whitening will give you a rejuvenated, youthful smile. Just one teeth whitening process can take years off of your face.


• According to a survey by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, white teeth are a sign of health and vitality, and give the perception of reliability, friendliness, intelligence, and even responsibility. These results demonstrate the immense value of a dazzling smile in both social and professional situations.

Teeth whitening is a treatment that was designed by dental care professionals, should be attained under the care of your dentist. Commercial products are limited in their ability to provide outstanding results. This is due to both design and makeup. Commercial whitening strips are straight-cut at all edges, where our teeth and gums do not lie flat. Having curves at the top of each tooth leaves room for error, with many people experiencing a line where their strip ended. The other scenario that occurs with this straight design is that the strip contacts gum tissue to cover teeth, causing irritation.

At Brentwood Family Dental, you can choose the teeth whitening treatment that is most suitable to your budget, schedule, and oral needs.
