Now that fall is here, you’re probably thinking about the holidays, family getaways, and other seasonal events. However, with so much social activity on the horizon, many people are also paying closer attention to their teeth. A brighter smile can make a subtle but noticeable difference in photos and conversations during these festive months.
At Willow Glen Dental Center in San Jose, California, our experienced team regularly recommends professional teeth whitening. Here are three reasons that fall is the best time to invest in this cosmetic procedure.
Autumn kicks off the holiday season with Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Christmas all happening back-to-back. These events are often spent with family and friends, which typically include group photos, candid snapshots, and toasts. In addition, many businesses and community organizations host end-of-year celebrations where colleagues and peers come together to celebrate.
Scheduling professional teeth whitening now is an easy way to eliminate stains and tooth discoloration. A brighter smile can help you feel more confident, so you’re more likely to join in photos, laugh freely at parties, and enjoy social moments without feeling self-conscious.
Summer foods and drinks, such as berries, barbecue sauces, iced tea, and sodas, are staples at many gatherings, but they can have unintended consequences. For example, berries and sauces can stain your teeth, while soda and other carbonated beverages may damage your tooth enamel and dull your smile.
Fall presents an opportunity to “reset” your smile. While certain holiday foods can have similar effects, professional teeth whitening can restore brightness and make it easier to maintain your results. Think of it as a way to erase summer discoloration before it has a chance to set in and become a lasting issue.
The results of professional teeth whitening typically last between three and six months. Scheduling a session now means your smile will stay bright throughout the winter and into the new year.
Since New Year's is often linked to self-improvement, why not add a bright smile to your list of resolutions? It’s effective, affordable, and can be done safely in the office. At the same time, starting the year with a bright smile can complement other resolutions, like focusing on health or confidence.
If you’re one of the many Americans who feel self-conscious about stained or discolored teeth, consider the benefits of professional teeth whitening. A quick, in-office procedure can brighten your smile and boost your confidence for the holiday season and beyond. To see if you’re a candidate, contact Willow Glen Dental Center today.
