It’s a great feeling to flash a brilliant smile, but what if you’re embarrassed about how your teeth look? Not looking your best can impact your confidence and sense of self-worth. A recent survey showed that 82% of respondents said the appearance of their teeth affects their self-esteem, with 29% saying it has “a great deal of influence.” For those unhappy with their smile, brighter teeth might seem like an unachievable dream. But at Brockley Dental Center in Butler, PA, we specialize in turning dental dreams into reality with our state-of-the-art professional teeth whitening services.
Understanding Teeth Whitening?
A teeth whitening treatment is a popular cosmetic dental procedure that uses chemical reactions to brighten teeth and enhance smiles. Over time, teeth tend to develop stains, which cause a yellowish or brownish discoloration. Stains on teeth can be intrinsic or extrinsic, meaning internal or external forces cause them. Intrinsic stains are more permanent and can result from an oral injury, certain medications, or overexposure to fluoride as a child. Extrinsic stains are easier to remove and are caused by darker foods and drinks like coffee, tea, wine, soda, and certain berries or by smoking and chewing tobacco. Teeth whitening treatments are most effective against extrinsic stains.
Many people think of teeth whitening as a cosmetic procedure only designed to make us look better on the outside. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. A great smile makes you feel better, increases confidence and self-esteem, and makes social situations more enjoyable. It allows you to live your best life without worrying about hiding your teeth during a laugh or while taking a picture. Having the smile of your dreams provides peace of mind and relieves social anxiety. It’s like getting a great haircut or putting on your favorite outfit—you just feel better!
Professional Teeth Whitening vs. Home Kits
Because so many people want to refresh or revitalize their smiles, you can find teeth whitening kits at practically every pharmacy and grocery store nowadays. However, while home whitening kits are accessible, they often fall short of the effectiveness and longevity of professional treatments. For starters, the chemicals they use are not as strong as the ones dental offices can offer. And their one-size-fits-all approach may not match the shape of your mouth and teeth, causing uneven or ineffective results.
At Brockley Dental Center, our advanced whitening solutions penetrate deeper into the teeth, delivering long-lasting results and saving you both time and money in the long run. By choosing professional teeth whitening, you also benefit from having an expert like Dr. Brockley or Dr. Gildersleeve, who can make adjustments, offer advice or instructions, and tailor the experience to be exactly what you’re looking for. You can’t get that kind of help off the shelf at the supermarket!

How Much Does Professional Teeth Whitening Cost?
We recognize that financial concerns can be a barrier to accessing dental care. Unfortunately, most dental insurance will not cover teeth whitening. That’s why we work closely with financing companies and offer options like CareCredit to make professional teeth whitening affordable for every budget. Navigating insurance and financing can be complex, but our team is here to ensure you understand and utilize the options available.
