Everyone wants to show off a beautiful smile. If you aren’t happy with the appearance of your teeth when you look in the mirror, there are various cosmetic solutions available to help. If you are looking for a quick way to achieve pearly whites that make you feel more confident, keep reading! Here are three treatment options to aid you in achieving your smile goals!
Teeth Whitening
Over time, your teeth will become discolored for many reasons. Whether you like to drink coffee, smoke cigarettes, or sip on red wine, these things will cause your teeth to stain over time. You have likely seen teeth whitening kits when you go to your local grocery store, but they aren’t nearly as effective as professional teeth whitening from you dentist. Here’s how it works.
- In-Office Teeth Whitening: If you opt for in-office teeth whitening, your dentist will cover the soft tissues in the mouth before applying a professional whitening solution to the surfaces of the teeth. Your teeth can be brightened up to 8 shades in just an hour-long appointment.
- At-Home Teeth Whitening: For patients who would rather whiten their smile in the comfort of their own home, at-home whitening kits are the ideal solution. Your dentist will provide you with custom-made trays and a whitening solution. You will see the results in just a couple of weeks!
Dental Bonding
If you want to have a minor flaw fixed, like a small chip, stain, or misshapen dental structure, dental bonding is an excellent, affordable solution. Your dentist will apply a high-quality composite resin and sculpt it into a shape that blends in with the rest of your tooth. They can last for several years if you care for them properly.
Veneers
Veneers are a popular cosmetic dental service and are popular amongst celebrities. They are thin porcelain shells that are secured to the front-facing surfaces of the teeth to mask imperfections. Here are some of their benefits.
- They provide a natural tooth appearance and correct numerous cosmetic flaws.
- Veneers are stain resistant, so they will not change color over time.
- Veneers are custom-made to the exact size, shape, and color need for the best appearance.
- Veneers require less enamel removal than dental crowns.
