Are you feeling confident for the summer? At this time of year, many people are trying to get ready for the summer weather and family vacations to the beach. One way that you can do this is by getting your smile ready. If you aren’t feeling great about the appearance of your teeth, you don’t need to settle for them. There are several different cosmetic dental treatments out there that can help you achieve your smile goals. Here are a few of the most common.
Invisalign
If you have misaligned teeth, you don’t need to have a mouthful of metal brackets and wires for who knows how long. Instead, you can opt for Invisalign. This treatment uses a series of clear aligners in order to slowly move your teeth into place. There are so many benefits, like the fact that you can remove them, they are practically invisible, and you don’t need to deal with any eating restrictions that you would normally be stuck with. Chances are that no one will even be able to tell that you’re wearing them. This way, you can work towards a straighter smile without the whole world knowing.
Teeth Whitening
It is natural for teeth to become discolored over time. This can happen for a variety of different reasons, including tobacco use, drinking pigmented beverages, and aging. However, this is still something that many people are self-conscious of. This can be reduced with professional teeth whitening. It involves the use of a highly concentrated bleaching gel and a special light. This way, you can walk out of the office with a smile that is up to eight shades whiter.
Porcelain Veneers
If you’re looking to have a complete smile makeover in time for the summer, porcelain veneers could be the right option for you. They are thin shells of porcelain that are placed over the front surface of the teeth in order to cover up imperfections. This includes gaps between the teeth, chips, staining, misshapen teeth, slightly crooked teeth, and undersized teeth. They are a preferred option by celebrities because they can help when it comes to achieving that Hollywood smile that you see in films and tv. This could be the transformation that you’re looking for.
This summer, show off your smile with confidence! Talk to your cosmetic dentist so you can come up with a plan that works for you!
