How Can Cosmetic Dentistry Transform My Smile for the Holidays?
Cosmetic dentistry is a form of dental care that focuses on improving the aesthetics of the smile. There are various treatments that can improve the smile’s appearance, and the service that you could benefit from most will depend on the imperfections that affect your teeth. Here are some of the most common ways you can transform your smile:
Teeth Whitening
One of the most popular treatments, especially around the holidays, professional teeth whitening can erase discoloration and stains from the smile. This is done quickly, safely, and comfortably, using a special heating lamp to penetrate tough stains in the smile. The result is a set of teeth that are up to 8 shades brighter. The best part is that all this can be done in about an hour!
Porcelain Veneers
For those with more extensive cosmetic flaws, porcelain veneers can help! These are thin shells of dental porcelain that are designed to conceal the front surfaces of the teeth, correcting a variety of imperfections like chips, cracks, gaps, and more. The best part is that you can choose the exact size, shape, and shade of your veneers to get the smile of your dreams. What better time to debut your new smile than for the holidays?
Cosmetic Bonding
If you have small chips or other slight imperfections affecting your appearance, cosmetic bonding may be perfect! Your dentist can use tooth-colored composite resin to reshape, sculpt, and erase flaws in the smile. The best part is that this service is quick, affordable, and effective. Once the composite resin is applied, the dentist can polish it to match the exact color of the rest of your smile.
Are You a Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry?
If you’re wondering whether you’re a candidate for cosmetic dentistry, the best way to find out is to see your dentist for a consultation. However, patients who could benefit from treatment will typically have:
- Chipped teeth
- Cracked teeth
- Discolored or stained teeth
