Imagine this: it’s 2022 and you’re looking at your new smile in the mirror. You can’t believe how great it looks- whiter, brighter, straighter-everything you’ve always wanted your smile to be. If you want to be able to enjoy this new smile for a lifetime then now is the time to start exploring what cosmetic treatments are available to you! In this blog post we’ll discuss some of the most popular options so that you can start 2022 off with a smile!
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a common cosmetic dental treatment that can be used to lighten the color of teeth. It is performed using a bleaching agent that is applied to the teeth. There are a few different methods of teeth whitening, including strips, gels, and trays. However, the best method is to have your teeth professionally whitened by a cosmetic dentist. This is because dental professionals can apply a stronger bleaching agent, which allows for fast and dramatic results. After only one whitening appointment, you can expect your teeth to be around 5-10 shades brighter than they were before! Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental treatment as it is effective, quick, and affordable.
Veneers
Another common cosmetic dental procedure for changing the appearance of your teeth is called veneers. Veneers are thin porcelain or resin shells that cover the surface of a tooth to change its shape, color, and size. Porcelain veneers can be used to correct a wide variety of dental problems, including chips, cracks, discoloration, and spacing problems. After teeth whitening, veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments because they are extremely versatile and can correct a number of aesthetic problems all at once.
Dental Implants
If you are missing one or more teeth, then you may be a good candidate for dental implants. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from titanium posts that are surgically implanted into the upper or lower jaw. One healed, dental implants can support a crown, bridge, or denture to replace one or more missing teeth. Replacing missing teeth is important to prevent other teeth from shifting out of place when one is lost. Among the various tooth replacement options, dental implants are considered to be the best because of their natural appearance, strength, and longevity. If you have one or more missing teeth, the easiest way to start 2022 off with a smile is to replace your missing teeth with dental implants.
Composite Fillings
If you have small to medium areas of damage or decay on your teeth, then composite fillings are often the best way to restore them. Composite filling materials bond directly with your tooth enamel and are made to match the surrounding color and texture to be more aesthetically pleasing and natural looking. Additionally, composite fillings can be used to replace old amalgam (silver) metal fillings so that there is no metal showing on the surface of your tooth. This makes composite fillings a good choice for repairing teeth that are visible when you smile.
As you can see, there are many different cosmetic dental treatments available to help you achieve the perfect smile. So, if you’re looking to start 2022 off with a new smile, be sure to consult your local cosmetic dentist to see what treatment options are available for you!
