Have you secretly – or openly – wished that the Fountain of Youth wasn’t a myth? Thanks to modern technology, you don’t have to go on a harrowing expedition to achieve a fresh and renewed look. Many seek to improve their skin, hair, and style, but aesthetics can also extend to your teeth. If you want to put some vigor back into your smile, read about these 5 ways cosmetic dentistry can help.
Remove Dental Discoloration for A Brighter Look
Has a lifetime of early morning coffee made your teeth less than pearly? Your dentist can provide in-office and take-home whitening treatments that will wash out the most stubborn of stains. Even if marketplace toothpastes or over-the-counter kits haven’t worked for you, don’t lose heart. Your dentist has professional-grade products that are much stronger than the average name-brand.
Restore Damaged Teeth to Appear as Good as New
Teeth work hard to break down food every day, so it’s not surprising that they can develop chips and cracks over time. If this kind of wear is minor, a quick direct bonding appointment will have you looking and feeling fresh. With this application, all your dentist has to do is mold special resins over the flaws in your teeth to mask and recolor them.
If you need more extensive work, bridges and crowns can be made out of porcelain to ensure your new fittings look as natural as possible. There’s no need to fill in gaps with gold or silver – unless you want to, of course.
Realign Crooked Teeth to A Youthful Row
Crooked teeth aren’t always a result of unfavorable genetics or injuries. Sometimes they shift due to natural changes in your facial structure stemming from aging. This can create an unwanted wizened appearance, but traditional braces might remind you of the not-so-fun parts of youth. Consider instead clear aligners, which will get the job done without metal brackets or wires.
Rejuvenate Facial Features
Missing teeth are a common source of discomfort, but they can also create aesthetic changes. When there are gaps along your jaw, your lips and facial skin sink to fill in the open space. Getting implants or dentures might be just what you need to help your smile look full and rejuvenated. Your new teeth will help reduce or even prevent fine lines from developing on your skin.
Reinforce Tooth Strength
Maybe your cosmetic needs have an underlying cause a touch more complicated than normal wear and tear. Thin enamel leaves teeth more vulnerable to staining, chipping, and cracking. In these cases, consider porcelain veneers. These shell-like covers will fit your teeth like a glove and can be color-matched for a consistent smile that gleams from corner to corner. They’ll also protect your teeth and fortify worn-down enamel.
Feeling young and confident doesn’t have to rely on mythical solutions of epic proportions. For brighter, renewed teeth, simply contact your dentist and ask about their cosmetic services.
