If you’re frustrated by flaws in your teeth, you are not alone. Millions of people have turned to cosmetic dentistry to perfect their pearly whites. Many patients still aren’t aware of exactly how their dentist can help with their particular problems, though. Keep reading to learn some common issues and how your dentist can resolve them.
Cosmetic Concern #1: Yellowing Teeth
Having a smile that’s lost its luster can hinder your self-confidence and desire to engage with others. Fortunately, many dentists offer teeth whitening services. They have access to professional-grade ingredients and instruments that provide effective results and minimize tooth sensitivity. In many cases, years’ worth of stains can be resolved within an hour or two.
If you don’t have time for an in-office procedure, ask your dentist whether they offer take-home kits. Many dentists give these to patients using the same high-quality materials, along with custom-fitted trays, so that you can lighten your teeth from the comfort of your own home.
Cosmetic Concern #2: Crooked or Misaligned Teeth
Teeth that are overcrowded or have gaps impact both our appearance and our health. We feel badly that we don’t have the perfectly straight teeth that we see on movie stars and influencers, which impacts our self-image. Not only that, but it’s harder to brush and floss teeth that are misaligned which means they’re more prone to decay and disease.
Historically, these issues would be handled with traditional braces. Today, a more discreet option is available. Invisalign consists of clear plastic aligner trays that fit cozily over your teeth to gently move them to their correct positions over time. This method is much less visibly intrusive, and you can finish treatment in as soon as 12 months.
Cosmetic Concern #3: Damaged or Misshapen Teeth
If you have minor cracks or breaks in your teeth that you feel are marring your grin, then ask your dentist about veneers. These are thin shells that are bonded to the front of your tooth to mask any imperfections. They’re made of durable porcelain or composite resin that’s customized to match your natural teeth and can last decades. Not only that, but they also are stain and chip-resistant and shield already injured teeth from sustaining potential harm down the road.
Faulty teeth don’t have to hold you back anymore! Your dentist is sure to have solutions that can give you the beautiful smile you deserve.
