When it comes to a smile makeover, there are many aesthetic changes you can make to your teeth to give you the gorgeous, glowing grin of your dreams. Here are a few elements of your appearance that cosmetic dentistry can change, and some amazing treatments that can help!
Tooth Color
Tooth color is one of the first things people notice about your smile, and one of the most common things people want to change. Thankfully, your cosmetic dentist offers a variety of treatments that can help. Professional teeth whitening can be done either in your dentist’s office in about an hour, or over a few weeks from the comfort of your home. Both methods can remove up to eight shades of stains and discoloration and help reveal those gleaming pearly whites once again.
Tooth Shape, Size, and Spacing
Are your teeth “too small” or do they have uneven spacing that may not be severe enough to warrant orthodontic treatment? Veneers could be the answer. Veneers can be customized to the shape, size, and even color that you want, solving a variety of dental dilemmas in one convenient procedure!
With proper care, your veneers can last up to 20 years, but because a small amount of tooth enamel must be removed to place them, please be aware that you’ll always need to have either veneers or crowns on those teeth.
Tooth Damage or Uneven Wear
Do you have teeth that are chipped or have uneven wear? Cosmetic dental bonding can easily repair them with the same material your dentist uses in tooth-colored fillings. In fact, because it’s so durable, you can use your restored teeth the same way you did before they became damaged. It can even cover teeth that are deeply stained if veneers aren’t in your budget. Bonding typically lasts five or more years, but it’s painless, can be done in under 30 minutes, and is very affordable!
Remember, you don’t have to live with a smile you don’t love. If you have aesthetic changes you’d like to make to your teeth, speak to your dentist today about how cosmetic dentistry can help get the gorgeous grin of your dreams!
