Did you know that your dentist can work as much makeover magic as your hairstylist or favorite cosmetic influencer? We might not think about it too often, but plenty of emotion is conveyed through our mouths, even when we’re not speaking. Cosmetic dentistry can give your appearance that final touch, so your smile comes out loud and clear for all your beachside photos!
If you’re wanting a fresh new look to compliment your summer fun, brighter teeth could be the answer. Keep reading to learn more about some popular treatment options.
Pearlescent Porcelain Veneers
You may or may not have heard about porcelain dental veneers from social media or your favorite celebrities. This treatment often finds itself in the spotlight, and for good reason!
Your dentist will fashion these stain-resistant masks into a thin, porcelain shell. They’ll then adhere the shell to the front-side of the tooth you want to cosmetically enhance. Small gaps, awkward shapes, dental stains, and minor damage can all be concealed with some porcelain veneer wizardry!
Dental Bonding: Small but Dramatic Changes
If you’re a contouring pro with blush and bronzer or are deep into color theory, you know that small changes can make a dramatic difference on your overall look. Even the tiniest of dental flaws can make your teeth appear dirty and yellowed.
With a dental bonding treatment, you can quickly and effectively cloak subtle chips, cracks, and discoloration. Your dentist will sculpt a tooth-colored resin over the less-than-appealing aspects of your teeth, resulting in a stunning and low-profile transformation.
Travel-Friendly At-Home Whitening
“Pearly whites” is a common nickname for teeth, but how often do we really feel that that’s accurate? Studies have found that whiter teeth are the most sought-after dental change in the US. It’s no wonder why. Dental staining can be a real confidence-killer.
Summer enhancement-seekers that are less worried about dental flaws should consider an at-home teeth whitening treatment. Your dentist can provide a kit that includes professional-grade whitening tools. These are more powerful and effective than what you can find at your local store and make whitening on-the-go a breeze. It’s a fantastic option for summer vacation travelers!
Complete Smile Makeover
All of these cosmetic dentistry options are great for addressing specific flaws and achieving specific results. However, if you’re looking for a comprehensive smile metamorphosis, a smile makeover bundle might be more your speed.
This service allows you to combine any dental treatment into one convenient package. You could, for example, include gum disease therapy, dental implant placement, and teeth whitening in the same treatment plan. All you have to do is outline what your smile goals are to your dentist, and they’ll help you mix-and-match for the perfect teeth-enhancing solution!
Summer is already drawing to a close, but it’s not too late to enjoy your dream teeth before your beach days are numbered. Many cosmetic dentistry options are quick and hassle-free, so don’t hesitate to talk to your dentist about their dental makeover magic!
