When you think about the term “cosmetic dentistry,” what comes to mind? Is it elective oral health treatments that are only for the “rich and famous?” The truth is that while in the past these procedures often were reserved for the stars, today’s cosmetic dentistry is more accessible than ever. Here are a few popular royal treatments available from your dentist that will get you ready for your closeup!
Veneers
Veneers are extremely thin porcelain shells that fit over your teeth to change their size, color, shape, and even their spacing. They can be done in about two appointments, earning them the nickname “instant orthodontics.” Veneers are not only stain resistant, but with proper care and usage, you can expect to enjoy them for up to 20 years!
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a fast and affordable way to repair teeth that are damaged due to chips, uneven wear, minor spacing issues, or even discoloration. It’s done with the same durable material your dentist uses in tooth-colored fillings, which means they can be used to eat a variety of foods. With excellent care, this treatment can last for five or more years, and it can be done quickly and painlessly, usually in just one appointment!
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is a faster and more effective way to remove up to eight shades of discoloration from your smile. With in-office treatment from your dentist, you can expect your results to take about an hour, or if you’d prefer to whiten your teeth at home most patients achieve their desired shade in about two weeks!
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth faster and more discreetly than traditional braces. In fact, most patients are done in 12 to 18 months. Best of all, because your clear aligners are removable, you can eat a full diet with no restrictions and maintain a professional appearance while your smile transforms.
Botox & Xeomin
Many people don’t realize the amazing benefits of getting BOTOX® and Xeomin® from their dentist, but if you think about it, it makes perfect sense. After all, dentists are intimately familiar with the musculature of the face and already know how to inject patients precisely, so they are comfortable. Despite once being thought of as only for the stars, today injectable cosmetics are more affordable and available than ever and can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for up to six months.
Smile Makeovers
Do you have multiple aspects of your smile that you’d like to transform? A smile makeover may be the answer. These procedures are typically made of two or more dental treatments to help achieve a variety of goals and can be customized to fit your timeline and your budget, so you get exactly the smile you want!
Remember, while in years prior improving your smile with elective procedures may have only been reserved for the stars, today anyone can improve the appearance of their smile with the help of their dentist.
