Whatever type of artwork you are drawn to, there are characteristics that likely run through every painting or sculpture or otherwise. Maybe you like certain colors, shapes, or sizes – the same rings true for smiles. Are you attracted to teeth that are white, straight, flawless, but natural-looking? You are certainly not alone, and there are plenty of cosmetic dentistry treatments that can deliver and become a permanent masterpiece for your smile.
1. Porcelain Veneers
Dislike the look of your teeth? Wish you could just cover them up and start all over? Porcelain veneers are the cosmetic dentistry treatment that makes this possible. Veneers are super-thin, super-strong, and super-customized to look right in size, shape, length, width, and color. Each veneer is carefully placed to conceal discoloration, gaps, cracks, short teeth, and any other aesthetic complaints. If you want a perfect smile that looks like you hit the DNA lottery, this is the cosmetic dentistry treatment to explore.
2. Invisalign
Many adults gravitate to Invisalign because they are tired of suffering with repeat oral health problems like tooth decay and jaw pain. Invisalign uses clear aligners to move teeth into their proper positions so your smile is strong, healthy, and easier to clean – plus, no one needs to know that you’re wearing the trays because they are discreet.
3. Teeth Whitening
Not everyone is a viable candidate for professional teeth whitening, but if you are then this treatment will transform your smile almost instantly. The bleaching products used by dentists are powerful and long-lasting. Rather than attempting to whiten teeth haphazardly through over-the-counter whitening products, professional teeth whitening can truly dig deep and blast away stains and discoloration for qualified candidates.
4. Tooth Bonding
Cosmetic tooth bonding is one of the easiest and most effective cosmetic dentistry treatments that can be completed in just one dental visit. Bonding material – the same kind of composite used for tooth-colored fillings – is placed strategically to cover up chips, cracks, or other unsightly elements of a tooth. The procedure is non-invasive, fast, and can make all the difference in creating a stunning, complete smile.
5. Gum Reshaping
If you’re someone with more gum tissue than you would like, you don’t have to live with a gummy smile or a feature that makes you feel self-conscious. Through precise and careful laser gum reshaping, unwanted gum tissue is permanently removed to reveal more tooth enamel. This makes teeth bigger and broader, as well as your smile. Some patients combine gum reshaping with porcelain veneers for an even bigger statement.
