It\u2019s that time of year again\u2014the time when we celebrate\nlove. As Valentine\u2019s Day draws near, think about the special someone in your\nlife or perhaps the special someone you\u2019d like to have in your life. What can\nyou do to keep the magic alive with your significant other? What can you do to\nattract a significant other? Perhaps you could get teeth whitening<\/a>\nin Norman for yourself or as a gift to make this Valentine\u2019s Day meaningful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why is teeth whitening important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Studies have shown that people with more attractive, bright\nsmiles are perceived as being smarter, friendlier, and even more successful. Changing\nthe color of your teeth can make a big difference for how you look and how you\nfeel. If you are still searching for your partner, whitening your teeth is a\ngreat way to show your confidence to others. For those who are already spoken\nfor, although you hope your significant other loves you for more than your looks,\nit certainly can help a relationship to put forth the effort to maintain your appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does teeth whitening work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For professional whitening, there are typically two\nsolutions: in-office treatment or take-home kits. Each has its own pros and\ncons, but essentially they work the same way. Both use high concentrations of\ncarbamide or hydrogen peroxide to safely and effectively bleach your teeth up\nto eight shades whiter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the process for in-office teeth whitening?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The in-office treatment typically goes something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Your dentist in Norman documents your original teeth\ncolor and then places a rubberized dam to prevent the gel from touching your\ngums.<\/li>
  2. Then the dentist applies the whitening gel and\nfocuses a laser on your teeth to activate the peroxide.<\/li>
  3. After a bit of time, the dentist may repeat the\nprocess with another coat of gel.<\/li>
  4. In one visit, you can get quick, dramatic\nresults.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What is the process for take-home teeth whitening?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The take-home kits provide the same effect but take up to\ntwo weeks to achieve it. The process for this method follows these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Like for in-office treatment, the dentist documents\nthe color of your teeth.<\/li>
    2. Then the dentist provides whitening trays that\nhave been specifically made to fit your teeth. That way, there is less waste\nand more even treatment.<\/li>
    3. Every night, you wear the tray for about 30 minutes.\nFeel free to watch Netflix during this time or do whatever you want.<\/li>
    4. Even if you see noticeable results sooner than\ntwo weeks, you will get more dramatic whitening if you continue using the kit\nfor the full two weeks or according to your dentist\u2019s instructions.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Whitening your teeth not only improves your appearance but also\nboosts your self-esteem and confidence. Either for yourself or for the one you\nlove, teeth whitening in Norman can be a gift that lasts for years with the\nproper care. When you get professional teeth whitening, you and your special\nsomeone will love the results! For more information about teeth whitening\nsolutions, contact your dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
