1. Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is the process of lightening the shade of human teeth. We all desire to have clean, bright, white teeth for a pearly smile that shines. After all, yellowed teeth can be a sign of aging, poor hygiene, or declining health. And that is not the message that most of want to send when we smile! Most of us want to maintain a youthful look with a bright, healthy smile. While we cannot entirely prevent the yellowing of our teeth over time, teeth whitening products definitely help to maintain a glowing smile for longer.

Teeth whitening is considered a safe treatment. But it does come with some side effects as most treatments do which your dentist will discuss with you if you inquire about this procedure. The most common side effect is sensitivity of your teeth during and immediately following the whitening process. After the first treatment or two, however, the sensitivity begins to diminish and suddenly it feels like a very small sacrifice to have that million dollar smile you have always desired.

When considering any type of cosmetic treatment, it is important to weigh all the factors before making your decision. We all want to look good and that is not a thing of vanity. Looking good helps us to feel good which builds self-confidence which in turn has a very positive impact on our overall mental health. So an improved smile can lead to better mental health! Sometimes the benefits far outweigh the discomfort of a few minor side effects.

The process of teeth whitening is a simple one. Whitening products generally contain one or two bleaches which are hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. The bleach will effectively break down the stains on your teeth into smaller pieces which will make the yellowing less concentrated, thereby making your teeth look whiter and brighter.

2. Teeth Bonding

Dental bonding will deal with chips or fractures, gaps, and misshapen teeth as well as helping to correct stains. This can all be achieved in a single visit to your cosmetic dentist.

While teeth bonding is considered a purely cosmetic procedure, it does still positively contribute to good dental health. If you are feeling anxious about or discontent with your personal appearance, it is important to make the changes necessary to ease those negative feelings about yourself. When you can smile with confidence, your overall happiness will be improved. And it is okay to gain that confident smile through dental procedures.

The origin of your smile is not important. The main thing is that your smile has become something of beauty once more and you can be proud to show off your pearly whites. We should be proud of our smiles. It is our smiles that draw people to us. It is our smiles that provide a contagious way of spreading hope and joy. Other people want us to smile because it helps them to smile in return. Walking around with a miserable sour puss on all day leaves you feeling less than joyful and unable to live your best life. Everybody likes to see abundant smiles around them.

3. Dental Veneers

Dental veneers can alter the look of the surface of the tooth by adding a thin porcelain coating. The coating is secured and firmly cemented to the front of your teeth giving you a bight white smile.

Veneers offer a quick solution for a single damaged tooth so that one problem doesn’t negatively alter your entire smile. One damaged tooth is enough to shatter someone’s self confidence, so the quicker the fix, the better for dental issues of this sort. If you have suffered damage to a single tooth, be sure to consult your dentist for solutions. You do not have to wait until your next scheduled cleaning visit.

4. Straightening Teeth

Crooked teeth can often be a source of negative self image and declining self confidence. Teeth straightening procedures such as braces are the best solution to gaining your most perfect smile. There are different options available in braces from metal ones to clear ones. Most people, especially adults who have decided to straighten their teeth later in life, opt for clear aligner systems like Invisalign which is offered by most orthodontic practitioners such as Dr. Peter Brawn.

With so many cosmetic dental treatments available for improving the look of our smiles, there is nothing stopping us from feeling more beautiful. If you have considered making improvements to your own smile, it is just a matter of contacting your dental office for information or you can seek out cosmetic dental practices online.
