3 Cosmetic Dental Treatments to Get for Summer

Are you feeling ready for summer vacation? This is the time of year that you have been waiting for! The weather is getting warmer, the days are getting longer, and you have a variety of exciting plans on your calendar. This is also no better time to enhance your smile than now. When you are on the beach taking photos, you don’t want to be self-conscious about the appearance of your teeth. Read on to learn about a few different cosmetic treatments that you can benefit from this summer.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth become discolored over time for numerous different reasons, including the use of tobacco products, drinking pigmented beverages, and aging. However, this is still something that so many people are self-conscious of. Fortunately, stains can be lifted from the tooth with professional whitening. Your dentist can provide you with a customized set of oral trays as well as a whitening gel that is much stronger than anything you can find in stores. You just need to use this kit for two weeks and voila! Your teeth will be noticeably brighter!

Veneers

If you want to have a complete smile makeover before the end of the summer, porcelain veneers may be the right option for you. They are thin shells of porcelain that are placed over the front surface of the teeth in order to coverup flaws and imperfections, including gaps, chips, stains, misshapen teeth, and slightly crooked teeth. They are a preferred option by celebrities because they can help you to achieve a red carpet ready smile.

Invisalign

For people who have misaligned or crooked teeth, there is an alternative solution to a mouthful of metal brackets and wires. Invisalign involves the use of a series of clear aligners in order to slowly move the teeth to their perfect locations. There are numerous benefits, including that they are removeable, practically invisible, and you don’t need to put up with any eating restrictions throughout the duration of your treatment. Undergoing orthodontic treatment no longer means hiding your smile from the camera. Chances are that no one will even be able to tell that you’re wearing them.

This summer, you can show off your smile with confidence! Ask your dentist about your cosmetic dentistry options. Together, you can come up with a plan to help you achieve the goals you have for your smile!
