One of the fastest-growing health and beauty trends today is teeth-whitening, especially among the female population. With the number of patients interested in whitening treatments continuing to rise, the prices are likely to go down because of specials offered by dental practices through deal-a-day sites like Groupon and LivingSocial.
More patients who seek whitening treatments are also opting to have other cosmetic dentistry procedures done like bonding, replacing amalgam fillings and porcelain restorations to match the whitening they have achieved.
Regarding gender, it seems that women are more concerned than men are with having a white smile. Roughly 65 percent of dental patients who sought whitening treatments last year were female, according to a quick poll of member dentists of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). Another AACD survey has found that several dentists will also be adding Botox to their offerings in 2011, though brushing, flossing and regular dental care are still integral ways for patients to have a younger looking mouth.
If you are among those interested in restoring your smile to its original white shine, call Dr. Azar-Mehr’s Los Angeles dentist office today.
