Having teeth that are yellowing or off-color can not only have a huge impact on self-esteem, but can be extremely detrimental to one’s confidence. Dental teeth whitening in Modesto can not only help to radically improve your oral health and look, but can also offer several services that help to restore confidence.
Being self-conscious about your teeth can cause you to be socially awkward and give a negative impression to other people when you fail to smile, or cover your smile. Others may think you are unhappy or sour. This can have negative consequences not only in the social sphere but in other areas of life, as well. Teeth whitening is a simple procedure that can immediately correct a stained, yellowed smile.
“My job had me meeting new clients and trying to secure new projects, which I came to dread,” says Charles Baxter. “Those first impressions are everything. I felt like potential clients would notice my teeth, and judge my character more on that basis than anything they saw in my portfolio.”
Baxter went to a dentist to have teeth whitening in Modesto. The dentist employed a cutting-edge bleaching method to whiten his teeth and restore his smile. “It really improved my self-confidence,” Baxter says. “Not long after, I was promoted – not because I have a great smile, but because of how being able to smile without worry made me feel, and feeling good about my appearance had an impact on my personality and performance.”
One of the more popular methods that you may want to ask your Modesto dentist with regard to teeth whitening is a process called Zoom Dental technology. This method combines using special gel that is applied by the dentist with “laser” acceleration through the use of lighting that activates the gel. (The use of actual laser technology may be used, but most dentists use other methods of light activation. Lasers were used exclusively in the past, but the technology has advanced.)
Teeth whitening in Modesto by a dentist often only takes an hour or so. Whether or not you consider the process to be painful or not depends on your own personal threshold, but most people rate it as only marginally painful. The process generally involves three steps:
1. Gel is applied to your gums in order to protect the tissue inside your mouth.
2. A gelatinous agent that is activated by our special lighting equipment is applied to your teeth, followed by its activation.
3. Impressions of your teeth are taken of your teeth so that you will have trays you can wear at home for touch-ups.
The result is a natural, beautiful white, bright smile.
