Have you noticed some impressive smiles in Derby recently? Perhaps you’ve noticed that your friends’ or colleagues’ teeth seem to be looking straighter, cleaner and healthier? This isn’t a coincidence. There has been a rise in teeth whitening treatments throughout the UK in recent years, as people come to understand just how important a beautiful smile can be.

You might be under the impression that straight, white teeth signify a more attractive smile, which is certainly the case. Yellowing or discoloured teeth often appear on lists of unattractive features compiled by dating agencies. However did you know that whiter teeth may just help you obtain that new job or promotion you’ve been hoping to get? It’s true!

Company bosses have admitted that having a groomed appearance is important when it comes to employing staff and many have even confessed to choosing candidates with better teeth over those who have not perhaps taken so much care over how their teeth look. Lets have a look at the top 5 benefits of having whiter teeth in Derby.

  1. Whiter teeth can make you look younger. As teeth naturally discolour with age, having bright white teeth will give you a more youthful appearance.

  2. White teeth may help you have more luck in the dating sphere. Many of us use online dating sites, where you have just a second or two to make a great visual impression before a potential partner either chooses to click away from your image or find out more about you. If your discoloured teeth are prominent in the photo, you could be losing interest for no good reason. A simple tooth whitening treatment should be able to change your prospects.

  3. If your discoloured teeth are making you feel self-conscious, then logically whiter teeth will give you more confidence in your appearance. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to smile on demand, whenever a camera is pointed at you, rather than having to worry about being snapped unawares with your teeth on display?

  4. Want to give up your daily cups of tea and coffee? If you’re happy to have a whitening treatment, you can continue to drink these stain-causing drinks, whilst still enjoying a smile full of white teeth.

  5. Have your teeth whitened ahead of your next work interview or meeting and make a great first impression. You wouldn’t want a person who looks like they can’t take care of themselves taking care of your business after all, would you?

We can provide an effective teeth whitening treatment from a leading brand. As it’s prescribed by a professional dentist, it has more active ingredients than anything you can buy online and should significantly brighten your teeth by several shades. We will guide you through the whole process, as well as prepare your teeth to receive the treatment, should any preparation be needed. Please get in touch with us to book a consultation today. We’ll be able to answer any questions you may have.

    Beatriz Porto No.1 orthodontist literally lifted up my confidence, they were very precise with how I wanted my teeth to look and they turned out absolutely amazing. The team is so caring and they make you feel so comfortable would definitely recommend to my family and friends if they ever need their teeth perfect.

    My daughter had complex dental issues which meant first a removable brace when she was very young then fixed braces as a teen. Now 7 years later she's happy and confident with her teeth. Everyone at No1 was fantastic. During COVID she was still only 10 years old but their reassurance meant she happily went into her appointment without any parents. All the technicians are brilliant, I love the way all staff input is listened to regardless of their level. Makes for a great outcome for my daughter. Thank you so much.

    At 64 years old, I wondered if the 2 years plus aligner plan, was doable or worth it. I took the plunge and I am really pleased with the results. Anjli gave my a lot of information and time for me to make my decision and I found it an easy process to go through. No one ever noticed my clear aligners. Laura was my main contact who oversaw my treatment and she's really easy to ask any questions as you go through treatment, always felt I was in safe hands and is very positive in her approach to get the best outcome for you, so just do it 😀

    Had a wonderful experience for my 3 year braces journey with the Dental nurses all being friendly and easy going. Most importantly, my teeth problems have been fixed amazingly well.

    I had a very positive experience with No. 1 Orthodontist in Mickleover. From my initial consultation onwards, the entire team was friendly, professional, and welcoming. The orthodontists took the time to explain the treatment process and answer all of my questions, making me feel informed and comfortable throughout my time as a patient. I chose Angel Aligners and was very impressed with the care, attention, and support I received from the team. Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, I was unable to complete my treatment. However, my experience with the practice was excellent from start to finish, and I was always treated with kindness, professionalism, and respect. I would happily recommend No. 1 Orthodontist to anyone considering orthodontic treatment and would like to thank the whole team for their outstanding service.
