The relaxed summertime schedule is ideal for planning a trip or vacation to make lifelong memories with family and friends. It\u2019s only natural to want to look your best for all the photos you plan to take so that you can look back fondly on all the special moments together. However, if you have aesthetic imperfections in your teeth, you might feel too self-conscious to smile genuinely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, your dentist provides various cosmetic services<\/a> that can enhance your appearance. Continue reading to learn more about 3 popular ways to upgrade your grin this season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Treatment #1: Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Years of eating and drinking dark foods like berries, coffee, tea, and wine can leave your once pearly whites looking worse for wear. While there are plenty of commercially available strips and pastes that claim to be able to lighten your smile, these products often contain abrasive bleaching ingredients that can cause tooth sensitivity. On top of that, there\u2019s no guarantee that you\u2019ll get the desired results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To safely brighten your grin, ask your dentist about professional whitening services. They have access to professional-grade gels that don\u2019t cause discomfort. They\u2019ll also provide custom-fitted trays for optimal application so you can achieve just the right shade from the comfort of your home in as little as two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treatment #2: Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your teeth are chipped, cracked, stained, slightly gapped, or somewhat crooked, you could potentially benefit from porcelain veneers. These thin ceramic shells are customized to match the hue of your natural teeth and bonded to their front surfaces to mask flaws. Your provider can place them to hide one or more issues and perfect your smile simultaneously. Plus, they can last 15+ years with the right care, making them an excellent long-term investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s worth noting that for veneers to sit flush against your gums, your dentist must remove a thin layer of enamel from the underlying teeth before cementing them in place. This is an irreversible change, and you\u2019ll need veneers or another restoration in place to shield your teeth moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treatment #3: Dental Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Those longing to address multiple imperfections but who don\u2019t want to have any enamel removed might be a better fit for dental bonding. For this procedure, your provider directly applies a small amount of color-matched composite resin to your troublesome tooth. Then, they mold it into the ideal shape before hardening it with a special ultraviolet curing light. It bonds directly with your enamel to fix blemishes, discoloration, breaks, cracks, and other visible flaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re unsure what cosmetic services can help you reach your summer smile goals, the best way to find out is to schedule a consultation with your dentist today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
