Want a “Quick Fix” for Your Smile? Cosmetic Dental Treatments Work!

Typically, if you see advertisements for quick fixes to life’s problems, it might be a hoax. In other words, if it sounds too good to be true, it likely is. However, in other situations, some issues can be resolved faster than you think. For instance, cosmetic imperfections you now hate in your smile might have taken years to develop, but it might not require an extremely long time to correct them and will give you back your confidence with cosmetic dentistry! Within a matter of weeks, you can feel younger and more attractive with these fixes to your smile.

Teeth Whitening

One simple, but powerfully noticeable changes you can make to your teeth is whitening them! The slightest color improvement can make a world of difference and make you appear years younger. Over years of drinking coffee, tea, and wine, your teeth may look yellow or dull, but getting professional whitening treatment from your dentist enables you to take advantage of more advanced take-home gel with more powerful bleaching agents than you’ll find anywhere else on the market. Given the same amount of time as kits you’ll find at the store (about two weeks), you can achieve up to ten shades of more brilliant teeth as opposed to only about three shades with store-bought ones.

Cosmetic or Direct Bonding

Unfortunately, discoloration isn’t the only flaw your teeth can have over a lifetime, and not all tooth stains respond to the bleach in teeth whitening. Tiny chips, superficial cracks, small gaps between teeth, or even misshapen or small teeth actually can be corrected in just one appointment with direct bonding! With a putty-like, tooth-colored resin, your dentist can fill in those gaps and chips as well as cover your cosmetic cracks and stubborn stains without removing anything from your teeth currently. Plus, it tends to be more affordable than more complicated treatments!

Veneers

Compared to other cosmetic treatments, veneers often come at a higher cost, but the quality of enhancement is top notch! This porcelain material can endure longer wear and tear than composite resin, typically lasting about 15 to 20 years, and it looks so natural and realistic that very few people should recognize that you have veneers. Although this treatment requires two appointments and wearing temporary veneers while the dental lab crafts your custom ones, you can regain a huge amount of confidence with these tiny coverings.

While you shouldn’t necessarily trust quick schemes to fix a lot of problems and feel better, when it comes to your smile, it doesn’t have to take ages to change your appearance and self-esteem.
