There’s a good chance you believe cosmetic dentistry is for the famous alone. “After all,” you may think, “Only celebrities could afford such gleaming smiles.” However, the truth is that such dental work is available for almost everyone! Indeed, cosmetic services for teeth are widely accessible now. You could see your local dentist for a procedure that’d transform your smile’s looks if you wanted. To prove it, here are three cosmetic dental treatments that can make teeth fit for Hollywood.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, ceramic layers that dentists apply to the front of teeth. They cover up smile flaws like tooth stains, chips, cracks, and fractures to improve your teeth’s appearance.
Due to matching with your enamel, veneers’ porcelain material blends seamlessly with surrounding teeth. Furthermore, they’re durable, stain-resistant, and last for twenty years with proper care. Best of all, the treatment can be done in just two dental visits.
Cosmetic/Dental Bonding
Like veneers, cosmetic bonding hides smile flaws from view. Rather than using ceramic, though, it covers them with a composite, tooth-colored resin. It thus makes minor issues like tooth stains and chips invisible.
The bonding process first puts the resin directly onto the affected area. From there, your dentist sculpts this material to match the shape, position, and look of your other teeth. Afterward, they’ll use ultraviolet light to harden the resin.
With proper maintenance, you can expect your bonding’s results to last around ten years or so.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening uses ingredients to bleach tooth enamel white. When provided by a qualified dental practice, it’s done in-office or with a take-home kit.
In-office whitening has your dentist apply bleaching gel onto your teeth. Said gel then sits in cycles of 15 minutes under a special light. After an hour, the result is a smile that’s six-to-eight shades whiter than before.
Meanwhile, a take-home whitening kit involves wearing bleaching trays over your teeth. Doing so for roughly twenty minutes a day over two weeks will make your teeth visibly whiter.
As you can see, it isn’t just wealthy elites who can get beautiful smiles through professional work. You can do the same! That said, talk to your local dentist about procedures that’d make your teeth white and shiny.
