Before & After - Teeth Whitening
Self confidence plays an important role in our day-to-day lives. For many people, this confidence is found in their smile and how their teeth appear to others.
It's natural for people with stained teeth to feel less confident, especially when it comes to taking photos, smiling and laughing.
However, many individuals find that they feel more professional, outgoing and confident after getting their teeth whitened.
Studies have shown that your smile plays a big part in how you are perceived during a first meeting. First impressions count, and if your smile reveals white teeth, you’ll create a far more lasting impression than if your teeth are stained and uncared for.
2. It Makes You More Attractive
Although being and feeling confident makes people more attractive to others, a better-looking smile is also very attractive.
By choosing to have your teeth professionally whitened, persistent stains will become a thing of the past.
As whiter teeth are also a sign that you take care of yourself, you shall expect to find romance come knocking at your door in no time!
3. It Enhances Your Appearance
A whiter smile makes you appear more youthful, which in turn helps you to look and feel a lot healthier.
Teeth whitening also helps to reduce the look of wrinkles as focus is shifted from your face to your teeth. When your teeth stand out, people will usually be more focused on those than any fine lines and wrinkles that appear around the face.
With the arrival of social media and celebrity culture, a white smile is associated with health, vitality and youth, and so opting for teeth whitening will help you to achieve that same look.
4. It Makes You Seem Friendlier
If you're worried about not appearing friendly to new people you meet, then whiter teeth are the way to go. Appearing friendly is especially important in your work life.
It's always good to present a friendly face when giving presentations, attending meetings or going for interviews. Not only this but it gives you the confidence you need to ace that all important interview and win over important clients.
A nice smile also makes you appear trustworthy which is very important in today's world.
