When everyday brushing and flossing isn’t enough to enhance your grin, it’s time to turn to your dentist for treatment solutions. Nowadays, you have plenty of cosmetic and restorative options for effectively transforming your smile. If you can picture it, your dentist can probably accomplish it! Here are just five examples of specific dental treatments that can help you achieve your dream look.
#1. Veneers
Imagine being able to conceal multiple dental flaws with just one treatment. If that sounds too good to be true, don’t dismiss the idea just yet! Dental veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells that your dentist can customize and fit over the front-facing portion of your teeth. Once they’re in place, onlookers will see the flawless porcelain surface, not your chips, cracks, or stains.
#2. Teeth Whitening
Almost everyone wants whiter, brighter teeth. Unfortunately, dental discoloration is part of everyday wear and tear. Try as you might, there are just some stains your toothbrush can’t remove.
Professional teeth whitening treatments are much more effective than any toothpaste or gel you’ll find at the store. After just two weeks of wearing the take-home trays provided by your dentist, your smile will be several shades whiter!
#3. Dental Implants
Missing teeth can have a negative impact on your confidence – and make everyday tasks like eating and speaking more difficult. Traditional solutions like partials and dentures are reliable, but if you want a complete crown-to-root replacement, dental implants are the way to go! Thanks to their unique ability to fuse with the jawbone, they provide superior strength and stability – and look stunning while doing it.
#4. Tooth-Colored Crowns, Bridges, and Fillings
Metal amalgam restorations get the job done, make no mistake. However, many patients find them to be…rather aesthetically obvious. If you’re one of the many, you might be interested in your dentist’s tooth-colored crowns, bridges, or fillings. Made with modern materials, these metal-free restorations will improve your oral health and blend in seamlessly with your natural pearly whites.
#5. Smile Makeover
What if you want to whiten your teeth and replace your metal restorations with tooth-colored ones? You can certainly do that, all while streamlining your treatments into one clear and concise plan. Smile makeovers allow you to “bundle” multiple different cosmetic and restorative options together so you can save some time and money on your transformation.
There are as many ways to enhance your teeth as there are dental problems. While these five examples are some of the more popular treatment options, there are plenty of others that could catch your attention. Talk to your dentist about creating a smile transformation plan, and they’ll help you pick the best treatments for achieving your vision.
