Special
Feature
For a long
time, I was quite conscious of my smile. You may have noticed that I
didn't show my teeth very often in many of my photos :D First
reason,is because when you grin widely your face kind of puffs
out... and it just so happens that whenever I put on
weight it goes to my cheeks pronto! The second reason, is because my
teeth were colored a little to the.... yellow side.
Yuck!
Friends told
me my teeth were fine.... but I think that is only 'cos they
themselves had yellow teeth so they couldn't
differentiate!
Sometimes I
felt as though I looked like a smoker when I smiled, even though I
don't smoke at all.
I don't
drink much coffee or tea either, although I recall in Secondary 2 I
had a most disagreeable cola/pepsi habit.
No matter
how much I brushed my teeth it didn't help! Darkened
teeth casts a noticably sallow dimness over your appearance,
which I didn't like at all. I wanted a whiter, brighter, beautiful
smile that would light up my face. Something....
*Dazzling*!
Smile, and
the whole world smiles with you.
I didn't
really trust non-professional procedures and clinically unproven
teeth whitening home kits that can often lead to unsatisfactory
results. I didn't want to wait months for results either. There were
also the horror stories from friends about gum erosion 
I wanted
something immediate, great, yet safe.
Whitening
teeth under the supervision of a dentist is safe and effective, as
indicated by extensive research and clinical studies. In fact many
dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure
available.
I did some
research online, and asked around my friends for recommendations on
a good dental clinic.
Finally,
after hearing many good things about them, I went to Lee and Ong
( at Fareast Shopping Centre)
The clinic
had a very stylish yet cozy and comfortable ambience, the crew of
nurses were so friendly, plus... patients can help themselves
to food, drinks, cakes... & even yummy cup noodles!
I felt
very at ease with the warm and well-spoken Dr. Ong, who
also happens to be cute and charming to boot.
He
recommended me to do the whitening treatment Zoom.
Zoom
whitening will set you back $1000, but I was very convinced it was
worthwhile for INSTANT, safe, and excellent results compared to the
other options. The rest are such a hassle, and
I certainly wouldn't want to put my teeth and gums at
risk.
Furthermore,
this price is still comparably cheaper to other dental
clinics.
So I booked
my appointment to get my whiter pearlies!
On the
fateful day......
Determining initial color of
my teeth for comparison purposes after
Preparing...
Gum
protectant gel is applied. And aren't those mighty cool
shades.
Zap zap zap! Looks like I'm in a
Star Trek movie. This is fun.
There
is no pain whatsover, but you would have to bear with
the discomforting ache of your mouth being stretched open and
keeping as still as possible.
After 4
rounds of 15 minute sessions...
Look at the
incredible results!
Front 2 teeth were untouched first to show the
contrast between before and after. Wow, amazing or what?
Not to
worry, they didn't forget to Zoom! my two front teeth later as
well.
And here is
my wonderful whiter smile I've dreamed of -
Thank you!
I used to be
terrified of dentists, but I feel so at home with Lee &
Ong, you can bet I will be going back there for my future
dental checkups too :)
