Did you know every smile is unique? Teeth are naturally different shapes, sizes, and shades. Although you might believe everyone’s smile starts out white, this isn’t true. Besides your diet and lifestyle, genetics also contribute to the color of your teeth. Whether from poor oral hygiene, smoking, or genes, 80% of Americans aged 18 to 49 want whiter teeth because a bright smile is perceived as being young, intelligent, and confident. If you want a vibrant smile, teeth whitening isn’t your only option. Your cosmetic dentist in Fargo can also treat stains with veneers, depending on your goals.
