If you’re like most people of the 21st century, you’re looking for efficiency in everything. You want the maximum value with the smallest effort. Usually, you can’t have it both ways. However, there is a big exception: cosmetic dentistry.
Below are three low-effort treatments you can ask for at your dentist’s office that will give you a huge boost in self-assurance and smile aesthetics. Continue reading to learn which ones.
Treatment 1: Teeth Whitening
Dental treatments don’t get much easier than this. As you consume food and beverages, stains are naturally left behind in the enamel of your teeth. With teeth whitening, your dentist will provide a powerful whitening agent of hydrogen peroxide.
This cuts through the stains and restores your pearly whites to their former glory. The best part is that you can choose to have them whitened in one treatment in the office, or go at your own pace with a take-home kit!
Treatment 2: Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Cosmetic dental bonding is a simple solution to smaller chips and cracks that may form in your teeth. The process involves a tooth-colored resin that your dentist shapes to fill the imperfections of your affected teeth.
After the resin is shaped on your tooth and contoured to fit comfortably with your bite, the dentist uses a curing light to bond it to your tooth, creating a seamless integration into your natural smile.
Treatment 3: Gum Recontouring
Some patients find themselves with an abundance of gum tissue surrounding their teeth. This can make them appear smaller than they should be. In gum recontouring, the gumline is gently reshaped with instruments, revealing a more natural smile underneath and restoring an even gumline.
Treatment 4: Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are covers for your teeth made from a durable ceramic material. They are wafer-thin and adhere to the front of each affected tooth, covering multiple dental imperfections at once.
While veneers take a bit longer to complete than these other treatments, the ease comes from the fact that it is a one-size-fits-all solution. If you’re facing multiple cracks, chips, or slight misalignments, veneer treatment can save you multiple other trips to the dentist.
The results are transformative, giving you a straighter, whiter, and more aesthetic smile. The shells are durable and stain-resistant, giving you all the benefits of a teeth-whitening treatment for a much longer time!
If you’re ready to change your smile for the better, contact your dentist and set up a cosmetic dentistry consultation. Together, you can make a plan that will carry you through your treatment and bring you closer to your perfect grin.
