According to Salt Lake City teeth whitening expert Rodney S. Gleave, D.M.D., teeth whitening is one of the easiest ways to improve our overall appearance. Like it or not, we are often judged by our smiles. If you have a dull, stained smile, people are likely to think you just don't care about anything. But if you have whiter teeth, you are more likely to have good self- esteem and confidence. And that makes you flash a welcoming smile more often.
Years of drinking tooth staining beverages like coffee, tea, cola, red wine, juices, and for some, tobacco eventually takes a toll. And you end up with dull, yellowish, no-longer-pearly, pearly whites. Or, some teeth bear stains from taking medications while young. Whatever the reason, Salt Lake City teeth whitening expert Dr. Gleave offers several cosmetic dentistry procedures to whiten your teeth. Depending on the bleaching gel used, results can be seen within an hour, overnight or within three to four days. Complete results can be achieved in as little as a week or as much as several months out, depending on the sources of the stains and the ability of the teeth -- or tooth -- to be bleached. The teeth whitening procedure may last up to three years -- or even longer in some cases, depending on personal habits. Be sure and visit the teeth whitening page on our website for more information.
