How Your Dentist Can Add an Extra Sparkle to Your Smile

When you look in the mirror and put on your best smile, does it sort of just feel…meh?

Plenty of people aren’t satisfied with the appearance of their teeth. Fortunately, that’s exactly what cosmetic dentistry is for! If you make one of these appointments with your dentist, they can add an extra sparkle to your smile.

The Magic of Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers truly are like magic; it’s no surprise that this treatment is one of Hollywood’s favorites. Celebrities like Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, and Hillary Duff have had their smiles altered by these thin, tooth-like shells. After customizing the size, shape, and color to your liking, your dentist will adhere the veneers to the front-facing portion of your teeth, and viola. You’ll have a completely new dental look!

Go Metal-Free for Consistency

If you received a crown or filling right around the 70’s, chances are there’s a gold or silver patch in your smile. Metal amalgam restorations are durable and work well enough, but they can interrupt your pearly white line-up. For more consistent aesthetics, why not go metal-free? Ask your dentist about their tooth-colored restorations. You’ll be pleased with how seamlessly they blend in with your other teeth.

Better and Brighter Teeth Whitening

Dental staining is such a common cosmetic problem that even big businesses try to market a quick and effective fix. However, the whitening products you can find on the shelf usually don’t cut it. Maybe you know from experience – they don’t brighten your teeth very much, and the results don’t seem to last as long as you’d like.

Enter: professional teeth whitening administered by a qualified dentist! They might seem similar at face-value, but your dentist has stronger stain removal agents and can customize your treatment. The difference will be obvious once you see how much brighter your smile is.

Conclusion

Cosmetic dentistry fills a very important need: feeling confident in your own skin. It’s hard to be present and “live in the moment” when you’re preoccupied with how your smile looks. If you need to put some sparkle and shine back into your teeth, don’t hesitate to reach out to your dentist to discuss your options!
