Summertime is finally here—get ready for warmer weather, poolside shenanigans, and days filled with fun adventures! Of course, you’ll want your smile to look its absolute best while you’re out and about this summer, so why not consider cosmetic treatment? There are many different options that can enhance the look and feel of your smile while also giving you an unparalleled boost in confidence! Keep reading to learn about three of the best cosmetic treatments available for your smile this summer.
1. Teeth Whitening
There’s nothing like stained teeth to make you feel self-conscious about your smile—but tooth discoloration is easily treatable thanks to teeth whitening! Your dentist can whiten your teeth during an in-office appointment using special tools and medical-grade bleaching agents. They’ll safely polish the surface of your teeth and remove any visible staining in a matter of minutes.
Your dentist can also send you home with a whitening kit so you can do it yourself. These kits usually include mouth trays and special whitening gels that you can’t buy at the store. They’ll be sure to explain the specifics of the treatment and cover any important instructions.
2. Porcelain Veneers
If you’ve always wanted a Hollywood-caliber smile, veneers are one of the best ways to achieve this. Thin, custom-made porcelain shells are bonded firmly to the surface of your natural teeth, and they can last for about 10 to 20 years if you take good care of them. They have many different applications, all of which can enhance the beauty of your smile:
- They instantly whiten your teeth.
- They fix minor chips and cracks and close obvious gaps.
- They make your teeth appear straighter.
3. Invisalign
Invisalign is a popular and effective solution for patients who want to straighten crooked or misaligned teeth in a subtle manner. The aligner trays are made of a clear plastic material and are hardly noticeable when they’re being worn, and unlike traditional braces, they can be removed!
Invisalign slowly encourages your teeth to shift into a straighter, healthier position over the course of a few months. You also don’t have to limit your diet or add any extra steps to your oral hygiene routine—just be sure to take good care of your aligners so they last, and work as intended. You’ll also have to wear them for 22 hours a day and switch to new sets every couple of weeks.
Make the most out of your summer this year by ensuring that you have a healthy, beautiful smile to show off while you’re out having fun.
