Summer is finally in full swing, and you’ve probably got a lot on your to-do list this season! But whether you’re gearing up for a family road trip or planning to take a trip down to the beach, you’ll likely be spending a good bit of time smiling! That said, when’s the last time you sought out cosmetic dentistry to enhance the look and feel of your smile? Your cosmetic dentist in Flower Mound has several available treatment options that can give your smile a dazzling new shine just in time for all your summer fun. Keep reading to learn more about three of these awesome treatments.
Teeth Whitening
A stained smile can easily shatter your self-confidence; after all, your smile is the first thing that people will often notice about you! Fortunately, teeth whitening is an effective solution for treating discolored teeth. Your dentist has access to special tools and professional-grade whitening agents that are stronger than anything you can buy at the store. They can either whiten your teeth in-office or send you home with a special kit that allows you to whiten your teeth conveniently on your own schedule. Both methods are viable and can produce lasting results for a couple of years—meaning your smile will look great for well beyond the summer!
Direct Bonding
Sometimes our teeth can suffer minor flaws or have small aesthetic imperfections. These teeth are usually ideal candidates for direct bonding, also called cosmetic bonding. Your dentist will apply a small amount of composite resin to your teeth to mask any visible issues. They will mold and shape the material as needed and improve your tooth’s appearance before hardening the resin under a curing light. Before you know it, the process is complete, and the affected teeth look brand new and completely natural!
Porcelain Veneers
Some patients feel as though their smile needs quite a bit of enhancement to look its absolute best, and in these instances, porcelain veneers can usually do the trick. Veneers are one of the most flexible cosmetic solutions available and have several applications. Your dentist will bond thin sheets of dental porcelain to the outer surfaces of your teeth, immediately improving their appearance. They can be used to address chipped or cracked teeth, misshapen teeth, gaps between teeth, discoloration, and more. They can also last for 10 – 20 years if you take care of them!
This summer, you should consider finding time in your schedule to squeeze in cosmetic treatment. The boost it will provide for your smile and your confidence is simply too awesome to pass up!
