Beat The Heat with These Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

It sure is hot out there, but do you know what else could be heating up? Your smile! That’s because summer is the perfect time of year to improve it with the help of cosmetic dentistry. Take advantage of the slower days, the calmer schedules, and the warmer temperatures and invest in your oral health. Here are a few sizzling cosmetic procedures that will make you outshine the sun this season.

Veneers

Veneers are thin porcelain shells that fit over the front of your tooth to make your teeth appear whiter and brighter. Veneers can cover deep stains, chips, or misshapen teeth, restoring a youthful glow to your smile. Veneers are stain resistant, so you can still enjoy the foods you love, and they last up to 20 years by caring for them the same way you care for your teeth already.

Veneers can be completed in two appointments: one to prep and measure the teeth, and one to apply them, and the whole process should be completely painless.

Direct Bonding

Do you have any teeth that are chipped or discolored that you’ve been meaning to have repaired but just haven’t made the time? Restoring a tooth with direct bonding is a fast and easy way to improve your teeth. It can usually be done in one appointment, and it’s completely painless, so no need for anesthesia. You can get right back to basking in the summer sun as soon as your appointment is over, and with a gleaming smile, to boot.

Professional Whitening

If your teeth aren’t looking quite as pearly white as you’d like them to, there’s no need to waste time and money trying fancy white strips or ineffective so-called whitening toothpastes. A professional Zoom! Whitening treatment from your dentist can lift multiple shades of stains in just one treatment, while the professional Zoom! take home whitening kit can help you achieve your whitening goals in as little as two weeks. Just in time for those summer vacation selfies!

If you’re ready to give your smile that summer glow, light up your life and contact your dentist today to schedule a cosmetic procedure before the busy season starts.
