If you look at your teeth in the mirror, are there flaws that bother you? You might’ve developed a chip over time or have stains, but there are ways you can get rid of them. Cosmetic dentistry is a great solution for many, but you might not want to undergo a long procedure to get the results you want. Thankfully, many of them are relatively short with dramatic results, so here are three options you can get to quickly refresh your grin.
1.) Professional Teeth Whitening
You might develop discoloration from a wide range of things, such as natural aging, dark-colored foods, and smoking. While you might feel self-conscious about it, professional whitening is often the go-to service to get rid of it. Your dentist uses high-quality bleaching gel that’ll break down stains on and within your enamel, giving you up to an eight-shade difference in the end.
Better yet, you can get this service in-office for about an hour to get this transformation, or do a two-week take-home kit that’s more convenient and gives you similar results!
2.) Cosmetic Bonding
You may end up with a minor chip when biting into hard food or receiving a facial blow. Any treatment that’s too in-depth isn’t an effective way to fix it, but cosmetic bonding may be right for you!
This service uses tooth-colored composite resin that’ll be sculpted against the flaw and fix it. Other than small damage, it can be used to cover any stains that won’t go away. All it takes is about an hour per tooth, and you can show off your results right after.
3.) Veneers
While the two treatments above are great for fixing a single flaw at a time, you might wonder what you can do if you have several affecting your smile at once. Veneers might be what you’re looking for! They are thin, durable shells that are bonded to the front-facing parts of your teeth. They essentially hide away chips, stains, and minor gaps behind them, giving you a dramatic transformation.
All it takes is about two appointments that are a couple of weeks apart, since a dental lab customizes them for you. You will get your results relatively quickly, and they can last for up to 15 years or longer with proper care.
In the end, cosmetic dentistry is a great way to get the gorgeous grin you love. By talking to your dentist, you can learn more about which minimally invasive options would best benefit you.
