Summertime has arrived! This time of year brings many special events. From walks on the beach with your family to fun barbeques with friends, there are endless memories to make. So, why not consider a bright and beautiful smile for all those picture-perfect moments? Cosmetic dentistry can conveniently and successfully give you the pearly whites you’ve always wanted just in time for your summer fun. Read on to learn three of the best treatments.
#1. Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatment is one of the easiest ways to improve your grin. It is an extremely popular cosmetic dental treatment since it can dramatically change how your smile looks. Over time, your teeth can become stained or discolored from eating and drinking darkly pigmented food and beverages. However, you can conveniently brighten them at your own home with a custom teeth whitening kit from your dentist. By wearing trays with professional-grade bleaching solutions for the recommended daily time, you can count on a more luminous smile in about two weeks!
#2. Veneers
Veneers have the ability to instantly upgrade your teeth. They address a range of dental issues, including:
- Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
- Severe staining and discoloration
- Gaps or spacing issues
- Crooked or misaligned teeth
By adhering ultra-thin shells of dental porcelain to the front surfaces of teeth, your dental imperfections can be instantly covered, revealing a brighter, flawless smile.
#3. Direct Bonding
If you have had a minor dental imperfection that has bothered you for a long time, dental bonding may be the solution you’ve been searching for. Your dentist can sculpt a tooth-colored composite resin over the tooth (or teeth) in need of attention to make any dental flaws disappear. They will then harden the material with a curing light, leaving you with a brand-new grin in as little as an hour.
It’s not too late to enhance your teeth…so why not do it before your summer fun begins? With help from your dentist, your smile can soon be shining just as brightly as the sun!
