As the summer season comes into full swing, you may be getting ready to have some fun at your favorite beach. But before you head out to soak up some sun, you might want to get an aesthetic smile before flashing it in all the photos you’ll take! Don’t let dental flaws stop you from having a wide grin, so here are three cosmetic dental treatments that will help get the pearly whites you want.
1.) Teeth Whitening
If you find that your teeth aren’t as bright as they used to be, then a professional whitening treatment can help. Your dentist can leave you with noticeable results that remove six to eight shades of discoloration within just one visit with an in-house treatment. If you prefer the convenience of doing this treatment at home, your dentist can give you trays, and within about two weeks, you can achieve similar results!
2.) Cosmetic Bonding
Do you have a minor chip in your smile? They can leave you wondering how to fill them in, but a simple cosmetic bonding service may be right for you. In this service, your dentist molds a tooth-colored composite resin to repair a damaged tooth. They shape it over any issues and smooth it out, so it looks natural and blends into the rest of your pearly whites. After, it is hardened with a curing light. Better yet, it can even be done within one appointment, making it a great way to get a quick touch-up.
3.) Veneers
For a more dramatic smile transformation, you can consider veneers! They tackle a wide range of imperfections all at once, like stains, chips, and minor gaps. That is because they are thin porcelain shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They easily cover flaws and give you the aesthetic grin that you want. Each veneer is crafted by a dental lab with your mouth in mind, so they feel and look entirely natural. Also, the material used can last over a decade with proper care, plus it is more stain-resistant than regular enamel.
When you start to get ready for your upcoming beach trip, don’t forget to bring your best grin! There are many kinds of cosmetic dental treatments that each address dental flaws. By finding the right one for you, the results will give you a set of teeth that you can’t wait to show off during your summer vacation and well after!
