If you don’t like the way your teeth look, you’re not alone. 67% of Americans admit that they are insecure about the appearance of their teeth. Cosmetic dentistry is popular because it can fix a variety of aesthetic flaws to create a picture-perfect smile, no matter your age. Here are just a few ways you can transform your smile.
Benefits of an Attractive Smile
Your smile holds a lot of power in the way you see yourself and how others view you. A person with attractive teeth is attributed to youth, confidence, and success, which are appealing qualities in all aspects of life. Cosmetic dentistry can boost your self-esteem and make you appear more approachable. Not only can this benefit you socially, but it can also lead to new career opportunities.
In addition, some cosmetic imperfections can harm your dental health. Correcting the issues can improve the health of your teeth and gums to support your overall wellness.
Popular Cosmetic Dental Procedures
It’s never too late to invest in the benefits of a beautiful smile. Your cosmetic dentist will examine your mouth and learn more about your goals to create a personalized treatment plan. Your teeth and gums must be healthy before any elective procedure. It’s not uncommon to require a little prep work, like a filling or gum disease treatment. In addition to any preparatory procedures, your cosmetic dentist will explain which elective treatments may be right for you, like:
- Veneers: Veneers are thin restorations that are applied to the front surfaces of teeth to improve their color, size, and shape. Veneers are a minimally invasive solution to address multiple issues at once, like stains, chips, tooth sensitivity, and gaps.
- Metal-Free Dental Restorations: Dental crowns can be made of ceramic materials to match the appearance of your real teeth. They will be durable and last for many years while blending in with your smile.
- Cosmetic Dental Bonding: Dental bonding offers both cosmetic and restorative benefits, making it a versatile solution for various issues, including tooth decay, exposed roots, and chipped teeth.
- At-Home Teeth Whitening: At-home teeth whitening can turn back the clock by getting your enamel up to 8 shades brighter. You’ll use the kit every day for about 2 weeks to achieve in-office results from the comfort of your home.
Whether you’re in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or approaching retirement, you can have a smile you’ll want to show off. You can look and feel your best by revamping your pearly whites.
