3 Cosmetic Dental Treatments to Get in Time for Summer

Are you feeling confident and ready for summer vacation? This is the time of year when many people are trying to get ready for the warmer weather. One way that you can do this is by getting your smile prepared. Whether you are heading to the beach or just hanging out by your local pool, you want to feel great about the appearance of your teeth so that you are camera ready. There are numerous cosmetic dental treatments out there that can help you achieve your smile goals. Here are a few that you can get just in time for summer!

Teeth Whitening

Teeth become discolored over time for a number of different reasons, including drinking pigmented beverages, using tobacco products, and aging. But discoloration is still one of the most common things that people are self-conscious about. This can be reduced with professional teeth whitening. You can go to the dental office for an in-office whitening treatment. If you would prefer, you could opt for a professional take-home whitening kit. Either way, you will be looking at dramatic results in a short period of time.

Cosmetic Bonding

If you have small imperfections that you would like to have corrected, cosmetic bonding is an affordable, effective option. This involves the use of a tooth-colored composite resin that is sculpted to the tooth in order to fill in chips, gaps, cracks, and slight discoloration. The great things about cosmetic bonding are that it can typically be completed in just one appointment, and it doesn’t require any protective tooth enamel to be removed before the procedure.

Porcelain Veneers

If you are looking for a more dramatic, long-lasting smile makeover, porcelain veneers could be the option you’re looking for. After a small amount of protective tooth enamel is removed, thin shells of tooth-colored porcelain are placed over the front surface of the teeth in order to cover up imperfections, like chips, gaps, stains, misshapen teeth, and slightly crooked teeth. They have become a staple of celebrities because of their ability to provide that red-carpet smile that so many people strive for. If that is what you are dreaming of, porcelain veneers are an excellent option.

There is no better time to work towards the smile of your dreams than just in time for summer. Talk to your dentist so you can come up with a plan that can help you achieve your smile goals.
