It doesn’t take an expert in body language to know who is confident about their teeth and smile and who isn’t. Those that feel good about their teeth present themselves accordingly. They’re more relaxed, seem more approachable and friendly, and aren’t afraid to laugh and smile with those around them. Those that are self conscious about their teeth may come across as aloof, standoffish and a bit unfriendly. They may look away as they speak and only smile a tight lipped grimace, to ensure their teeth are kept from view. Though they know they’re tying to hide their teeth, others may feel that they are just disagreeable and unsociable, when sadly that is far from the truth. Fortunately, with the advancements in dental technology, it’s easy to get a brand new smile with only a few visits to the cosmetic dentist in Long Island.
Dingy, stained or yellowed teeth do more than just look unsightly, they also add undue years to the appearance. Teeth whitening is a quick and simple procedure that can make the teeth, bright, white and shiny and at the same time turn back the clock a few years. The process takes less than an hour. After deciding on a natural shade of whiteness, a gel like substance is placed on the teeth. The whitening power of the gel is enhanced by a special LED light. When the gel is removed, the teeth are noticeably whiter and brighter. The treatment usually lasts three to four months before a touch up treatment is required. Avoiding coffee, tea, dark colored cola, red wine and tobacco is recommended to extend the time between treatments.
