Do you have flaws in your smile that you aren’t sure how to correct? The great news is that with the help of cosmetic dentistry, there are many improvements you can make to your teeth to help give you the beautiful, flawless grin you’ve been dreaming of. Here are three popular treatments your dentist offers, and how they can help you achieve those spectacular smile goals!
Invisalign
Invisalign is a faster, easier, and more comfortable way to align your smile than traditional braces. Invisalign uses custom, clear trays to gradually move your teeth into a better alignment. They are completely removable for meals and oral hygiene care, so your smile is easier to maintain during treatment, and because they’re clear, they’re more discreet too. If you have gaps in your smile, crooked teeth, crowding, or even bite issues, Invisalign could be the answer, so speak to your dentist today to see if your alignment issues qualify for treatment.
Teeth Whitening
If you have discoloration or stains on your teeth that won’t go away with brushing alone, stop wasting time and money on over-the-counter whitestrips and pastes that don’t get results. Professional whitening from your dentist can help remove up to eight shades of discoloration from your teeth in about an hour. Prefer to whiten on your own? Your dentist also offers professional take-home kits that provide the same results in about two weeks, and because it’s a take home kit, it can be done from virtually anywhere!
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is an excellent solution for patients who have large gaps between teeth, chipped or cracked teeth, exposed tooth roots, or severe discoloration. It can be done in your dentist’s office and often requires no numbing. Depending on the number of teeth you need treated, the entire procedure could take 30 minutes or less, and because it uses the same durable, natural-looking composite resin used in tooth-colored fillings, you can expect to enjoy the results for five or more years with proper care and usage.
Remember, it’s natural to have things you don’t like about your smile, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept them. With cosmetic dentistry, your dentist can help you achieve the smile of your dreams, so schedule a consultation for cosmetic dentistry today and get started on customizing the gorgeous grin you deserve!
