They tend to get underplayed because, sure, dental flaws aren’t the worst thing in the world to have. However, they still weigh on people’s minds, and some feel self-conscious enough to hide their smile and choke back laughter. That’s hardly living life to the fullest! Your dental blemishes are a valid burden, and if you want to be free of them, keep reading. These cosmetic dentistry solutions could be just the ticket you need.
Dental Bonding: For Small Cracks, Chips, Gaps, and Stains
Since dental bonding is a moldable, semi-liquid resin, it’s a very versatile option. If you have a tooth or two with specific marks, your dentist can simply sculpt the bonding material until it fills in dental voids or hides discolored splotches.
Porcelain Veneers: Conceal Multiple Issues at Once
Now, if you have one or more flaws spread out over multiple teeth, especially in the front, porcelain veneers might be more cost-effective. They’re custom-crafted from pristine ceramic materials, then carefully adhered to the front-face of your teeth. Like with architectural veneers, onlookers won’t be able to see what’s behind your pearly facades.
Teeth Whitening: Lift Surface Stains for A Dental Refresh
Generally, a strong oral hygiene routine can effectively prevent teeth yellowing. But sometimes life happens. Whatever caused your dental discoloration, a professional teeth whitening treatment can make it seem like your teeth were never stained in the first place – and add a luminous glow! The best part is that you can receive this treatment in-office for fast results or gradually whiten your dental pearls from your couch with a take-home kit.
Gum Contouring: When Gumlines Appear Uneven
Does your smile appear overly pinkish? Or has a battle with gum disease left strange pockets along your gumline? Not all aesthetic dental problems are related to your teeth; an overgrown or marred gumline can make your teeth seem small or uneven. With a soft, gentle laser, your dentist can remove awkward-looking pink tissue. For many, gum contouring is the cosmetic solution they didn’t know they wanted!
One or more of these cosmetic dentistry treatments might sound wonderful to you. However, every smile is unique, and that includes dental flaws! You should consult with your dentist to see which solutions are right for your teeth. They’ll help ensure your new dental cosmetics are successful, look fantastic, and last for years to come!
