Summer is finally here, and if you’re like most people, you’re ready to have some fun in the sun. Whether it’s making memories at backyard barbecues or vacationing with friends on the beach, you want your smile to look its best. But how? To find out what you can do to enhance your pearly whites, here are three cosmetic dental treatments you’ll want to consider.
Let Your Teeth Shine with Teeth Whitening
When smiling for the camera, you want your teeth to stand out (for the right reasons), so if staining or discoloration is causing you to hide from the camera, consider professional teeth whitening.
Cosmetic dentists that offer this solution may provide in-office treatment, take-home kits, or both. No matter how you choose to brighten your pearly whites, the high-grade bleaching gel that is used will penetrate the enamel to remove stubborn stains and discoloration from your teeth. It will even target those that exist in the dentin layer, which is often hard to remove when trying to use a store-bought brand.
Transform Your Smile with Veneers
Your beach-ready smile can be fully transformed with the help of customized veneers. As thin sheaths of ceramic that are placed over the front surfaces of teeth, they function as coverings for a multitude of flaws.
Veneers require a small bit of enamel to be removed before being placed, but they can last a decade or more with the right level of care. Their “permanency” is due to the altering of your tooth enamel; however, the veneers will need to be replaced over time.
You can expect, though, that once they are bonded into place, your smile will capture the attention of onlookers who will ask, “What’s their secret?”
Be Discreet About Straitening Your Teeth with Invisalign
Whether you’re looking to straighten your teeth to improve your oral health or for aesthetic reasons, the best way to do it without bringing much attention to your orthodontic treatment is with Invisalign.
These clear, plastic aligners are worn 20-22 hours each day for 1-2 weeks throughout treatment. Each set of aligners will gently push your teeth closer to their final location.
What makes them a preferred method of treatment is the fact that they are virtually invisible, so others are unlikely to notice that you’re wearing them! Also, you can remove them before eating and drinking, which makes it possible to eat the foods you love.
Give your smile the attention it deserves. Talk to your local cosmetic dentist about available treatment options and prepare to make a statement this summer.
