Heat Things Up with Cosmetic Dentistry

August 19, 2024

The temperatures this summer aren’t being shy about heating things up, so why should your smile be? If you’ve been considering improving your appearance with the help of cosmetic dentistry, summertime is the perfect season to get that gorgeous, glowing grin that you’ve been dreaming of. Here are four sizzling hot treatments that will leave your smile scorching!

Professional Teeth Whitening

Forget over-the-counter white strips and pastes. Professional teeth whitening is a safe, effective treatment that can lift up to eight shades of stains and discoloration off your teeth in about an hour. Don’t waste countless weeks on ineffective products that don’t whiten evenly and can cause heightened tooth sensitivity. Speak to your dentist about the benefits of Opalescence Boost or learn more about professional grade take-home kits that can be done anywhere you want!

Metal Free Restorations

Metal fillings were once the go-to for repairing cavities, but despite their durability, they were very obvious to the naked eye. Today, most dentists use resin composite fillings that blend seamlessly into your healthy tooth so nobody can tell you have them. They are also strong, so you can continue to enjoy a variety of healthy foods without worrying about damaging them.

 Cosmetic Bonding

Do you have broken, chipped, or worn teeth? These can be unsightly and embarrassing, and they can also make it difficult to chew. Thankfully, cosmetic bonding can not only repair broken teeth, but because it uses the same materials your dentist uses in fillings, it can also allow you to eat your favorite foods again.

Veneers

Veneers are a luxurious way to restore the whiteness your teeth deserve. These micro-thin porcelain shells fit over your existing teeth and create a whiter, brighter appearance that is both durable and stain resistant. Veneers last up to 20 years with proper maintenance, and caring for them is simple. Just brush them and floss them like you would your untreated teeth and be sure to see your dentist twice a year for your semi-annual cleanings and exams.

Remember, if you want a sweltering smile, speak to your dentist about how cosmetic dentistry can help you heat things up this summer!
