First and foremost, your dentist is concerned about the health of your teeth and your mouth. After all, your oral health impacts and is directly linked to your overall health and well being.
However, coming in a close second is the appearance of your teeth and mouth. When you have a smile that looks good, then you feel good, too. You have confidence, and research shows that others gravitate toward people who have beautiful smiles.
But what if you’re not proud of the smile you have?
No problem. With today’s cosmetic dentistry, there are a number of treatments your dentist can use to enhance your smile.
Change Your Smile, Change Your Attitude
One of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments can be completed in only two appointments. Porcelain veneers are designed to completely change the appearance of one tooth, several or even all of your teeth that people see when you smile. These dental wonders are made of porcelain with a finish that closely mimics the natural sheen of tooth enamel. Each veneer is paper thin, so it can be bonded to your tooth after minimal preparation. Once in place, your porcelain veneers can last for years with regular hygiene and dental checkups.
Brighten Your Smile and Your Outlook
Teeth whitening is another popular cosmetic dentistry service. With this treatment, you can choose to whiten in the dentist’s office or at home. In the office, the process is completed in only about an hour. After covering your lips and gums, the whitening gel is applied to your teeth. While you sit back and relax, strong ingredients erase surface stains and penetrate the enamel to remove discoloration below the surface. When finished, you’ll have a smile that is several shades whiter.
You can also opt to whiten your teeth at home. In this case, the dentist will create customized mouth trays. All you have to do is fill the trays with the gel your dentist provides and wear them overnight. You might see results after one treatment, but the most dramatic appearance will happen after a week or two.
Get a New Look with a Smile Makeover
A smile makeover is a comprehensive plan that combines several cosmetic dentistry services in order to completely transform a smile. Your dentist will evaluate all of your teeth in order to determine the treatments that your smile needs. Then, a step-by-step plan is developed to take your smile from drab to fab!
Don’t settle for the smile you have when cosmetic dentistry can give you the one you want. See your cosmetic dentist today!
