Few people have perfect teeth naturally, and many things can affect their appearance over the years. If you didn’t hit the genetic jackpot or your smile is showing signs of wear and tear, you don’t have to be embarrassed by your teeth any longer. Cosmetic dentistry can create the smile of your dreams without needing complex procedures. Here are 3 minimally invasive ways to revamp your pearly whites.
Benefits of an Attractive Smile
You can’t put a price on the benefits of an attractive smile. Researchers have found that the appearance of your teeth can directly affect your self-esteem. If you don’t like the way they look, you might avoid social settings or situations that will require you to show your teeth. Cosmetic dentistry will boost your self-esteem and enhance your professional image. A beautiful smile is associated with youth, confidence, and success, so you won’t think twice before smiling.
Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Treatments
Every mouth is as unique as fingerprints, which is why there’s no one-size-fits-all method to create an attractive smile. After examining your mouth and learning more about your goals, your dentist will recommend a minimally invasive procedure to meet your needs, like:
- Porcelain Veneers: If you have several issues you’d like to address, veneers can be the most cost-effective method to reach your goals. Bonding veneers to the teeth visible when smiling covers many imperfections at once, like stains, chips, and gaps. Veneers are thinner than ever to maintain more of your tooth structure. In just two appointments, you can have a dazzling smile that can last for a decade or more.
- Teeth Whitening: Teeth whitening is a great way to restore a youthful smile. A highly concentrated whitening agent can improve the color of your teeth by up to 8 shades when used on surface and age-related stains. Your results can last for many months or years with the right aftercare, like brushing or flossing.
- Tooth-Colored Fillings: Metal fillings can stick out like a sore thumb, but you can choose a method that blends in with your tooth. Tooth-colored fillings are made of a composite resin, which is shaded to the color of your enamel. Only a trained dental professional will know they are there. You won’t have to worry about a dark filling being the focal point of your smile.
You don’t need to undergo invasive procedures to enhance your smile. Your cosmetic dentist has the solutions you need to transform your teeth using a conservative approach.
