Cosmetic dentistry offers patients the chance to see a beautiful smile, but oftentimes, the assumption is that these services are too expensive and complex. At one point in history, this may have been true, but nowadays, dentists can provide more conservative options and faster results. Read on to discover 3 unique treatments that will have you seeing a radiant smile in less time.
Dental Bonding
For same-day results that hide minor blemishes, you can’t go wrong with dental bonding. As a highly effective, fully customized cosmetic solution, your dentist can apply a small amount of composite resin to the affected tooth and shape and sculpt it in place.
Whether it’s a cracked, chipped, or stained tooth, or a slight gap between teeth, the color-matched material can quickly improve your appearance. Your dentist will use a curing light to harden the resin so that it remains in place for several years.
Teeth Whitening
Lifting stains from above and below the enamel is easy with professional teeth whitening. Instead of using store-bought brands that lack the high-grade products and strength of dentist-approved whitening gel, a cosmetic dentist can safely provide customized trays and a bleaching solution to eliminate discoloration.
By following the directions provided for optimal at-home teeth whitening, you can expect to see results in as little as two weeks! The best part is that you can touch up your teeth whenever you notice a change in your smile.
Custom Veneers
If you want a longer-lasting cosmetic solution that transforms your appearance, delivering a one-of-a-kind smile that is customized to meet your needs, dental veneers are the answer. As expertly crafted restorations that fit over the surfaces of your teeth, they can be fabricated to match the desired size, shape, and color you want.
Although a small amount of tooth enamel must be removed from each treated tooth, the veneer will be placed over the top, concealing flaws and revealing a more beautiful, confident, and all-around radiant smile.
Veneers are highly versatile and can last 10-15 years before requiring replacement, meaning you will enjoy superior confidence in everyday life.
Cosmetic dentistry doesn’t have to be cumbersome or complex. Instead, you can achieve beautiful results without extensive procedures.
