Have you ever scrolled your favorite social media site and wondered how all those influencers and celebrities get their teeth so perfect and white? Chances are they weren’t born with those million-dollar smiles, but there’s nothing wrong with getting a little help along the way with cosmetic dentistry. In fact, you don’t need to be rich and famous to get a similarly gleaming grin, because cosmetic dentistry is for everyone.
If you’re ready for your closeup and looking for a way to get that red-carpet glow, here are a few procedures that will leave you feeling like a star!
Veneers
Veneers are one of the best ways to get a megawatt smile. These thin porcelain shells are custom fit to your teeth to make them whiter and brighter. They can even repair chips, cracks, or change the tooth’s size and shape. They can be applied in two appointments: one to remove a thin layer of enamel and take impressions, and a second to attach them to your teeth. They last up to 20 years with proper care and even resist staining, so you won’t have to worry about dullness or discoloration when you enjoy your favorite foods.
Direct Bonding
Direct Bonding can be used to repair chips or cracks in your teeth that could otherwise make your smile look a little uneven. It’s a more affordable way to restore teeth than other methods, and it can be done in one appointment. Your dentist will use a resin composite to rebuild the damaged area of the tooth, and thanks to color matching technology, the restoration will blend in so seamlessly no one will be able to tell it’s not natural.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening is a fast and affordable way to lift several shades of stains from your teeth. It can be done in-office with the Zoom! system, or if you’d prefer you can purchase a Zoom! home whitening kit to use when it’s convenient for you.
Gum Recontouring
Gum recontouring can be used in conjunction with other treatments, but it can also be done on its own as a cosmetic procedure. Using a soft tissue laser, your dentist will remove excess tissue that could be making your teeth appear smaller or your smile look too “gummy.” It also has the added benefit of helping to remove those pesky pockets that can trap bacteria and increase your risk of gingivitis and periodontitis.
Whether you’re looking to brighten up your mouth, reshape your gums, or repair damaged teeth, getting that movie star mouth is just a few appointments away with cosmetic dentistry!
