Once upon a time, someone very rich and famous wanted to enhance their teeth for the camera. Dental cosmetics made their teeth whiter, brighter, and perfectly seamless – but were sadly inaccessible to the general public. For many, “the Hollywood smile” would continue to hover just out of reach of their wallets.
Until today! Thanks to modern fabrication methods and materials, cosmetic dentistry is more affordable than ever before, and it’s available at a dentist’s office near you.
Valuable Veneers
Whenever you see the most perfect, attractive smile on TV, you’re most likely looking at a set of teeth that are enhanced by dental veneers. These are thin, porcelain shells that a dentist adheres to the front-facing portion of a patient’s teeth. Nowadays, most dentists offer these cosmetics, and since they conceal multiple flaws at once, they can be an incredible bang for your buck.
Simple Direct Bonding
If you have severe dental damage, you’ll receive a restorative crown treatment. But what if you only have a minor crack or chip? In that case, you could opt for a veneer or two – or you could get direct bonding. This moldable, tooth-colored resin can be shaped over flaws in a matter of minutes, making it the perfect single-tooth cosmetic for both red carpet stars and busy bees.
Effective Teeth Whitening
Is whitening your teeth with store-bought products or TikTok trends really worth it if you can’t tell the difference between your before and after photos? Certainly not! A professional teeth whitening treatment performed by your dentist is much, much more effective. After about an hour in the patient’s chair, your smile will be up to eight shades brighter, proving that you do in fact get what you pay for.
Bundle and Save
Can’t decide on your runway look? No problem! With a smile makeover plan, your dentist can bundle several different treatments together to save you both time and money. You could even include treatments not listed in this post, like metal-free restorations or gum contouring. Just say the word, and your dentist can help you achieve the perfect smile.
Cosmetic dentistry is glamorous, but that doesn’t mean it’s reserved for celebrities. If you have a dental flaw you just can’t stop thinking about, ask your dentist about your cosmetic options. You’ll be struttin’ your stuff in no time!
