Teeth Whitening

Whitening treatments are the number one requested cosmetic dental procedure and have increased more than 300% since 1996, according to the AACD. In addition, 41.1% list media coverage of cosmetic dentistry as the engine behind the boom. 31.1% said it was 'baby boomers wanting to look and feel better.

70.2% of those inquiring about cosmetic dentistry are not 'the young and the beautiful' or even 'baby boomers' with disposable income. They are everyone in-between: 31-50 year olds. That means they're people in the workforce or stay-at-home parents who just want to look and feel better for their themselves, and by association, their jobs and personal lives.
