What’s on your summer to-do list? Are you planning to take a family vacation across the country? How about a road trip down to the beach for some fun in the sun? Or what about a trip to your cosmetic dentist to brighten and whiten your smile? You might not realize it, but summertime is actually the perfect time to enhance your pearly whites, and your cosmetic dentist in Corte Madera has several available options that are certain to get the job done. Here’s more about three of these treatments.
Teeth Whitening
Having a stained and yellow smile can really put a damper on your self-confidence; after all, your smile is the first thing that people notice about you! Fortunately, teeth whitening is an effective solution for treating discolored smiles. Your dentist has access to special tools and equipment that are stronger than anything you can buy yourself. They can either whiten your teeth in their office or send you home with a kit containing professional-grade whitening agents; both methods are viable. These results will become fully visible within a week or two and can last from six months to three years—well beyond the summer!
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Cosmetic dental fillings are an excellent way to provide decayed or damaged teeth with an added layer of protection that looks and feels natural. The daily pressure of biting, chewing, and moving your jaw can take a toll on your teeth if they’ve become compromised, and they sometimes need a little help. These fillings, made of a special composite resin material, don’t just blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth—they also offer increased functionality.
Porcelain Veneers
If you feel like your smile needs a little more work done to look its absolute best, porcelain veneers might fit the bill. Veneers are one of the most flexible and versatile cosmetic solutions available and are able to repair all sorts of oral issues including fractured teeth, misshapen teeth, gaps between teeth, discoloration, and more. Your dentist will bond thin sheets of dental-porcelain to the outer surfaces of your teeth, instantly improving their appearance. They can last for 10 – 20 years with proper oral care, and your friends and family will adore your new smile for many summers to come.
This season, consider finding time in your schedule to treat your smile to cosmetic dentistry. It’s an easily accessible and effective way to give your pearly whites a huge boost, and there’s no time like the summer to make it happen.
