Wedding Season


My husband was the best man for one of his dear friends in Scottdale, Arizona this past Saturday. A wedding is always cause for pictures and I took quite a few of the wedding party. Since I am in the teeth business I have a tendency to study smiles. One of the first things I notice in a picture is whether or not the subjects in the picture are showing their teeth. Many times when people are embarrassed about their appearance of their teeth, they purposefully smile with their lips closed. The next thing I notice in a picture is the color of the teeth and the last thing I notice is alignment of the teeth.

I was pleasantly suprised that for the most part the wedding party all smiled with their teeth showing. The one thing that would have really enhanced the pictures is whiter teeth. There are so many different whitening products on the market it is tough to know what to do for whiter teeth.

My recommendation is a new procedure called Deep Bleaching. It is lifetime bleaching with definite whiter and brighter results. What makes it different than other types of bleaching is that the bleach product is kept refrigerated from the manufacturer and it is a combination of in office and take home bleaching trays. The entire process takes two weeks from start to finish and only requires one night of touch up once a month thereafter. Deep bleaching is more costly than other forms of bleaching, but it has definite measurable and lasting results!
