What’s the first thing you notice about someone when you meet them? If you’re like most people, a bright and cheerful smile draws your initial attention. A nice wide smile can be welcoming and set a cheerful mood, but what about a white smile? Does having bright smile really make a difference? Studies and general experience point to yes!
Confidence
If your teeth are not white and clean, you may be less likely to speak up, smile, or want to draw attention to yourself. Even if you know exactly what you want to talk about or say, this hesitancy can translate into a lack of confidence in yourself. By getting your teeth professionally whitened, you won’t have to worry about having a less than stellar smile, and you’ll be able to freely talk, laugh, and smile with everyone else!
Improves Mood
If you have whiter teeth and aren’t afraid to show them off with a laugh or smile, that can create a feedback loop of good feelings and confidence. Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins and improves your overall mood. Exercising those facial muscles is a great way to bring yourself up and a whiter smile makes it that much easier. Confidence in your own look can boost your mood, and when combined with the natural effects of smiling, there’s almost nothing smiling can’t overcome!
Contagious Smiles
Smiling goes beyond boosting your own mood. Humans are social creatures, and when we see someone else with a bright and cheery smile on their face we are more inclined to smile ourselves! If your smile is white and noticeable, others will be more likely to take your lead and smile too. A white smile can be the epicenter for a wave of smiles. As previously mentioned, smiling can have a positive impact on mood, so imagine the kind of effect a nearly infinitely contagious white smile might have!
Be More Attractive
Whiter smiles are simply more attractive to most people. In addition to the bright clean look, those who have the confidence of a whiter smile are typically smiling and laughing more. As previously mentioned, a smile is one of the first things people notice about someone they meet, and an attractive white smile conveys that you care about hygiene and making a good first impression.
Boosted Job Success
In a study, it was found that those people with whiter teeth were often more successful in their jobs and in interviews. Participants had their teeth whitened and then engaged in various activities which were then evaluated on their success. After whitening their teeth, participants were more likely to succeed at whatever activity they were engaged in. This is because in the simulated interviews, they came off as more confident and professional.
Professional Teeth Whitening Is Affordable
When it comes to brightening your smile, there are many products that claim to be effective at whitening teeth. Unfortunately, they fall far short of expectations and can be costly. Sometimes they can even lead to further damage and uneven treatment! By going to a professional with years of experience, you can avoid a costly mistake that could require a corrective visit to the dentist anyway.

By using a tray whitening system and a whitening gel, your teeth will get an even application of the whitening solution so that your smile is noticeable from every angle.
