I have been working towards enhancing my aesthetics for quite some time now. However, the only part of my appearance that I felt held me back from having a balanced and attractive face was my smile. Although my teeth were fine in general, they had spots and yellowness that gave my smile an uneven, less attractive appearance.
Teeth are one of those parts of the body that people rarely tend to notice on a person because they are not as prominent as other features like the jawline or the hair. However, this can be a great advantage for someone who wants to look better in photos or simply have a more attractive smile.
This is why I decided to go with hydrogen peroxide whitening - the ROI on the investment is extremely high compared to most of the other procedures on the market.
ROI: 9/10
I chose this procedure because the impact is noticeable but not overly dramatic, it is easy to perform, and it maximizes the value of one’s smile.
The Procedure Itself
I used a peroxide-based solution and a dental cheek retractor to help maximize the visibility of the oral area so that the procedure can be done as accurately as possible. The retractor itself has virtually no impact on smoothing the teeth - the real impact is made by the peroxide solution, which removes spots and yellowness by oxidizing them.
The biggest surprise about the actual results was that the new appearance was not as drastic as many people claim it to be. My teeth did not turn a completely different color - rather, they regained their natural appearance of healthy teeth.
The Results of the Procedure
The main improvement that I saw after the procedure was the increased cleanliness of my teeth. They appeared noticeably whiter and healthier than before, and my overall appearance became better in photos.
The reason for this was mainly the drastic improvement in the contrast between my teeth and lips. Before the procedure, I rarely noticed my teeth outside of a direct inspection, but after whitening, they stood out prominently due to the drastic shift in the color balance.
It was not a major transformation, but it was enough of an improvement to make me realize that a brighter and whiter smile can be valuable in day-to-day life.
Aesthetic Impact: 8.5/10
The Aesthetic Value of Whitening
Many people tend to prioritize large scale transformations when attempting to improve their outward appearance, but there are many subtle changes that can greatly impact one’s aesthetics.
Smiling is one such expression - the teeth play a major part in it, and having a whiter, brighter smile can make someone look more confident and put-together in general.
Not only does it improve the appearance of the mouth area itself, but it also has a noticeable effect on the rest of the face by increasing the perceived level of cleanliness and health.
The main reason for this is that teeth contribute to the overall visual balance of the face:
Teeth → Lips → Skin → Facial Expression
Hydrogen Peroxide Whitening vs. Regular Toothpaste
The main reason why peroxide-based whitening procedures are noticeably different from simply brushing with whitening toothpaste is that toothpaste cleanses the teeth on the surface level only.
Hydrogen peroxide, on the other hand, interacts with the surface of the teeth and removes the impurities by oxidizing them.
This is why most peroxide-based procedures are so much more effective than regularly brushing with whitening toothpaste.
Learned After the Procedure
The main lesson that I learned from my experience with teeth whitening is that excessive changes rarely make one look any better.
A brighter and whiter smile may be great, but it has to be in line with the natural appearance or else it will look artificial. Teeth that are naturally bright and healthy are likely to have a better appearance than those that are artificially made whiter.
In addition, I have also learned that teeth whitening procedures are only useful to a certain extent.
Having good and healthy teeth is more important than most people tend to realize.
Would I Recommend It
I would recommend it more to people that are generally satisfied with the aesthetics of their teeth but want a subtle change to maximize their appearance. It is not one of those procedures that will transform your life and make you look completely different. At the same time, it is a major improvement that is very difficult to notice at a first glance.
It is, without a doubt, one of the highest ROI improvements that one can make to their appearance. Overall, I would have to give this experience an 8.5/10.
Hydrogen peroxide whitening is one of those procedures that look unimpressive on their own but can greatly improve the overall harmony of one’s appearance when viewed in conjunction with the before photos.
