You used to be in love with your smile. It used to light up a room whenever you walked in. These days, however, it feels a little dull. If only there were some way to restore that old spark to your grin. Fortunately, there is with your cosmetic dentist in Tyler! Read on to learn 4 ways that she can make you and everyone else infatuated with your smile again.
1. Teeth Whitening
If you’ve tried over-the-counter whitening kits, gels, and toothpastes, odds are you’ve been disappointed with the results. That’s because these store-bought solutions don’t have nearly as strong a bleaching agent as the treatment available from your dentist in Tyler. With professional whitening, you can choose to have the procedure done in just one hour at the office, or on your own time at home. If you select at-home treatment, simply wear your customized whitening trays your dentist will give you for a prescribed amount of time every day. Your grin will be several shades brighter in as little as two weeks!
2. Porcelain Veneers
Maybe you have mildly crooked teeth but don’t want to invest in braces or Invisalign. Sounds like you could benefit from veneers, or thin sheets of dental-grade porcelain that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to mask pretty much any cosmetic imperfection. To prepare your teeth, your dentist will remove a small layer of enamel and then place temporary veneers while your real ones are being custom-made in the lab. Return to the office a couple weeks later and voila! Your smile is transformed. Because each veneer is uniquely designed to fit your grin, it will look completely natural and beautiful.
3. Dental Bonding
Perhaps you would rather conceal several flaws in your smile in just one appointment instead of two. That’s more than possible thanks to direct bonding. Your dentist will use a composite resin to sculpt the tooth into the perfect shape. The material can be customized so that it perfectly blends in with the rest of the tooth, so no one has to know you had dental work done.
4. Metal-Free Restorations
Sometimes the flaws in your smile are more than just cosmetic. Maybe you need an option that repairs damaged teeth as well. Not to worry, your dentist offers restorations such as crowns, all without metal. They are instead made with ceramic or porcelain. Crowns are caps that slip over the tooth and protect it in addition to making them look good as new. Ask you dentist if they offer CEREC technology to give you the crown you need in one day, without having to wait for a temporary.
With all these options available, there’s no need to be ashamed of your smile! Visit your dentist and fall back in love with your grin today!
