Done with your gift buying this holiday season? It’s time to treat yourself! If you’ve long wanted to upgrade your smile, cosmetic dentistry is the path to success. Make a wish list for the new you and consider these five treatments that will give you a gorgeous, flawless smile.
Veneers are the be-all, end-all of cosmetic dentistry treatments. Whether you have a lot to change or a little, porcelain veneers can conceal every flaw and imperfection. The super-thin porcelain shields are carefully designed in shape, size, length, and color so they look natural. They’ll look so great that people will think you hit the DNA jackpot when it comes to teeth.
Patients work closely with their Haymarket cosmetic dentist to determine the unique components of their veneers, undergo preparation for the treatment, then wait a week or two for the dental lab to create the veneers. Once ready, veneers are bonded permanently in place for a secure and stunning smile makeover.
Ever see an actor, reality star, or journalist on television and wonder, “How did they get such white teeth?” Well, if they aren’t sporting porcelain veneers – and it’s a good chance they are – the next best guess is that they have undergone a professional teeth-whitening treatment.
Whether you sit in your Haymarket dentist’s chair and undergo an in-office whitening, or whether you are sent home with customized whitening trays, the benefits are the same. You have access to professional-grade enamel-bleaching products that truly blast away the stains and discoloration that have settled into your tooth enamel. No over-the-counter treatment can come close to results like these.
When you’re ready to put in the time and get the straight smile you’ve always wanted, Invisalign is at your service. Your Haymarket Invisalign provider will evaluate your bite and teeth to determine whether you are a good candidate for this orthodontic alternative. If so, a careful examination and 3D imaging will commence and your treatment plan will be designed from start to finish. From there, it’s up to you to follow the rules of wearing Invisalign to ensure that this treatment progresses as it should and your smile slowly but surely straightens out.
Invisalign is a gift in and of itself. Because the aligners are super-thin and clear, they are hardly noticeable on your teeth. The average treatment time for Invisalign is about a year, but some patients with minor misalignment may qualify for Invisalign Express, a treatment that requires fewer trays and speedier results.
Porcelain crowns are an underestimated dental restoration. They not only fix teeth, they beautify them too. And they’re not only reserved to cap teeth that have undergone root canal therapy or to anchor a dental bridge. Crowns are a great choice to conceal imperfect, disintegrating, misshapen, or unsightly teeth anywhere in your mouth. Customized in size, shape, and color, a crown is carefully placed to blend into your smile and make that tooth you dislike disappear.
