SAY CHEESE: Bright White Smiles

We saw a gap in the market 8 years ago and realised there was a real demand for this type of cosmetic dentistry.

Marketing was my biggest challenge as I was not from a marketing background and it was a learning curve along the way with changes in the industry and social media.

Yes we do recommend to have them whitened yearly or every 6 months if your a big fan of coffee, tea and red wine. It’s completely safe to whiten your teeth twice a year with a professional dentist.

5. Are there any pro’s/cons to having your teeth whitened? 

Helps improve your smile and your appearance – Having your teeth whitened will greatly improve your smile, and will make it seem brighter. Since it also helps remove any stains on your teeth, it will also make your teeth have an even color.

• Boosts a person’s self esteem – Along with the improvement of your smile, and your appearance because of it, you get a boost in self esteem since you will feel better about how you look. This boost in your morale can also have a positive effect on other aspects of your life, such as your work and even your love life.
• Helps make you look younger – Teeth discoloration is sometimes associated with getting old, and this is often because of the fact that your teeth get these stains over time. Whitening your teeth may make you look younger since these will look brighter.

CONS

• You may suffer from a bit of sensitivity – Since professional teeth whitening procedures use chemical substances and bleaching agents, such as peroxide, you might find your teeth and gums reacting adversely to the procedure
• You have to avoid certain foods and drinks to keep your teeth whiter for longer – Tannin rich foods and acidic ones may need to be avoided after you have your teeth whitened. Berries that may cause stains, soy sauce, red wine, and coffee are just some of the things you might need to swear off after having your dentist whiten your teeth.
• Maintenance is actually required when you have your teeth whitened – Aside from the prescribed brushing, and flossing, you will also need to make return visits to your dentist for your teeth to remain white for a longer period of time. If you do not visit your dentist for the required touch-ups, you may find your teeth returning to their original color over time.

6. How long do your teeth stay white for? 

It all depends on your lifestyle but between 6-12 months
