Everyone wants to have a beautiful smile that they can feel fantastic about flashing. While some are lucky enough to have that sort of smile (or simply the confidence) that makes that easy to do, not everyone is so fortunate. The good news is that some popular cosmetic dentistry procedures can help you have a beautiful smile.
Teeth naturally yellow somewhat as you age. That yellowing can be brought on by eating or drinking things that stain your teeth or by personal habits like smoking. You don’t have to resign yourself to discolored teeth though. Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures for good reason: it works well. You get a whiter, brighter smile in very little time. Talk to your dentist about at-home versus professional dental whitening treatments to find the option that works best for you.
If you have teeth that aren’t quite properly shaped, sized, or spaced, aren’t aligned right, or are discolored in a way that can’t be corrected by teeth whitening, getting veneers may be a good option. Veneers are a thin layer of porcelain or composite resin that is bonded to the teeth. They are custom-made for each person so their smile looks right for them. They’re built to last for years. Just be aware that once you get veneers, you will likely always need them.
Dental crowns can be made of metal, ceramic, resin, and porcelain. Porcelain crowns are an especially popular choice. They are designed to look and function exactly like a natural tooth. Porcelain crowns are designed in a lab and are particularly good at mimicking the size, shape, and color of natural teeth. For this reason, they are the most popular choice for those who need a crown on any of their front teeth. Porcelain crowns typically last between 5-15 years. Take good care of your porcelain crowns and the surrounding teeth. That will help them last as long as possible.
It’s so much easier to smile with confidence when your teeth are beautiful. Cosmetic dentistry procedures make that possible for those who may not have had the best luck regarding their teeth, whether due to genetics, personal choices, or life events. If you feel like you could benefit from cosmetic dentistry procedures, don’t hesitate to contact South Temple Dental today. We’re happy to help you create a beautiful smile that you can feel proud of.
