Look Better in All Your Selfies with Cosmetic Dentistry

One of the biggest ways we talk to each other today is through photos. Whether you’re posting selfies on Instagram, Facebook, or another social media channel, whether you’re forwarding them via text or email, whether you’re posting them to an online dating platform, selfies are a staple of communication. Are your teeth doing you justice in these photos? With the help of cosmetic dentistry, you can look better in all your photos.

Problem: Crooked or Gapped Teeth

Solution: Invisalign

When your teeth are out of alignment, it’s natural to be self-conscious. Crowded or crooked teeth especially get food caught in them more easily, are harder to clean, and are more likely to develop cavities. Whatever type of misalignment you have, Invisalign may be a viable solution.

The clear aligners are difficult to see and do the work of conventional braces in about half the time. Because Invisalign is discreet, you can still take your selfies, work, socialize, and just live your life without worrying about having braces. Soon enough, you’ll notice a straighter smile beginning to take shape.

Problem: Silver Fillings

Solution: White Fillings

Have you been caught on film with your head thrown back and your mouth open wide in a laugh? If that kind of photo also captured your silver fillings, you may cringe at the thought of them being so visible. Amalgam fillings like these are also bad for your health overall as they contain traces of toxic mercury and, over time, can expand and threaten to damage the integrity of your tooth.

Silver fillings can be replaced with white, composite fillings which are healthier and natural-looking. They blend in with your teeth so no one will ever notice that you’ve gotten fillings. Your smile will look flawless and be stronger for this kind of cosmetic dentistry upgrade.

Problem: Dingy Teeth

Solution: Teeth Whitening

If you are tired of looking at your stained or discolored teeth in photos, especially if you’re next to someone whose teeth are bright white, it’s time to look for an instant, long-lasting solution. Whitening toothpaste isn’t going to cut it or give you the results you want. Professional teeth whitening, however, can make your teeth multiple shades whiter for brilliant, clean, healthy-looking teeth.

You can opt for in-office teeth whitening which is done using a laser and whitening gel and transforms your teeth in one dental visit. Or you can choose take-home whitening trays that are customized to fit your mouth and whiten your teeth precisely in just a few weeks.

Problem: All Kinds of Things

Solution: Porcelain Veneers

When you’re upset with the entire look of your smile, but you don’t want to undergo multiple cosmetic dentistry procedures to alter it, it’s time to consider porcelain veneers. Customized to the patient in color, shape, size, and length, the super-thin porcelain shields are bonded to the front of your teeth and can cover up everything from chips to misalignment, stains to gaps, giving you one truly flawless smile.
