Do you look in the mirror and feel disappointed by the smile you see? Have you been dreaming of a brighter and more beautiful smile, lately? Most people begin to notice imperfections in their smiles over time, flaws that can start to make a smile look even older than it actually is. For instance, staining is a common complaint as people age, along with noticeable wear along the edges of teeth, and even spacing problems. Fortunately, if you are ready for a smile update, cosmetic treatment could likely help!

Enjoy a Brighter Smile with Professional Whitening

If you are embarrassed by deep discoloration on some or even several of your teeth, professional teeth whitening is likely a great option. While there are many over-the-counter dental care products available that claim to lighten teeth, few are able to consistently provide dramatic results, and even fewer are able to do so quickly. Many products, like whitening toothpastes, for example, are meant to lighten teeth gradually over several months of use. Professional whitening, on the other hand, is able to lighten teeth by several shades in as few as two weeks’ time, making it a great option for those hoping to create dramatic results, quickly.

Address Other Imperfections with Beautiful Results

For other common imperfections, such as inconsistencies in the teeth’s size or shape, as well as minor spacing problems and even permanent staining, cosmetic bonding and porcelain veneers provide two great options. Both can create natural-looking enhancements that improve the smile’s uniformity. Bonding uses a composite resin material to hide imperfections, while veneers create even longer-lasting results, thanks to the durability and stain resistance of dental-grade porcelain.

To decide which is right for you, schedule a consultation with your cosmetic dentist!
