A beautiful smile can help you feel confident in your interactions with others. If your teeth are stained, damaged, crooked, or missing, you may find yourself avoiding situations where you may smile, laugh, or talk to others. Fortunately, there are a number of different cosmetic procedures that can transform your smile, no matter what type of issues you are experiencing. 

Whitening

Professional teeth whitening is a quick and easy cosmetic procedure that can make a big difference in the look of your smile. Surface level stains can build up on your teeth from the things you eat a drink every day. Things like coffee, tea, sodas, and berries can create surface stains that make your teeth look dull and yellow. Professional whitening can remove multiple layers of stains in just one or two treatments. If you have surface stains on your teeth you will see immediate results after undergoing in-office professional whitening.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers can cover up a number of issues on your teeth and completely transform your smile. Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They can cover deep stains that do not respond to traditional whitening methods. Porcelain veneers can also be used to repair chipped teeth and cover up unsightly cracks. If you are unhappy with the spacing or shape of your teeth, veneers may be able to fix those issues as well. Porcelain veneers are a versatile cosmetic option. If there is something about your teeth that you are unhappy about, talk to your dentist about the possibility of getting veneers.

Alignment

Straightening a crooked smile can have a drastic impact on your smile. Teeth that are out of alignment can impact how your smile looks and functions. Braces and clear aligners are two cosmetic options for straightening your teeth. There are a number of factors that influence which alignment option is best for you. You will have to work with your dentist to determine if braces or invisible aligners are the best choice.

Dental implants

Living with missing teeth can make you feel very self-conscious about your smile. You may even feel ashamed of your smile and avoid interacting with others in any way that involves smiling, talking, or laughing. Living with missing teeth can also impact your ability to function normally. Multiple missing teeth can make it difficult to eat the foods you enjoy. In addition, you will start to experience bone loss in your jaw over time if you do not address your missing teeth. Dental implants can restore the way your smile looks and provide you with improved function. Implants are placed into the jaw and eventually fuse with the bone. This provides a permanent tooth replacement that you can treat just like your other teeth. This cosmetic dental procedure can have a big impact on the look of your smile and your quality of life.

There is no reason to continue living with a smile that you do not like because there are cosmetic dental procedures that can transform almost any smile. Schedule a time to talk to your dentist about your options and get started on your transformation journey.
