Cosmetic dentistry is an incredibly expansive field offering a variety of treatments for patients with many different needs. For just about any issue you could have with your smile, there is likely some kind of cosmetic treatment that could help you improve the way that your teeth look.
For example, you might be aware that the appearance of your smile can start to change as you get older. As it turns out, there are several cosmetic treatments available to you if you want to turn back the clock on your smile. Here are a few examples of treatments that you may want to go for.
What is Teeth Whitening?
One of the things people don’t expect to happen to their smile as they get older is that their teeth start to become discolored. This has to do with the thinning of the natural enamel on the surface of the teeth, which exposes the darker layers of the tooth underneath.
While it’s not possible to regrow that enamel, professional teeth whitening can remove stains from the surface of your tooth, giving you a whiter and more youthful-looking smile.
What is Direct Bonding?
If you’re on the older side, you’ve probably accumulated quite a few chips and cracks over the years. You may be interested to hear that direct bonding is capable of repairing these kinds of issues easily, inexpensively, and often within as little as a single appointment.
Your dentist can make use of a tooth-colored composite resin that can blend in perfectly with your smile, covering up all kinds of damage.
What are Veneers?
If you really want to dramatically change the shape, color, and even alignment of your smile, veneers are capable of doing that for you within as little as two appointments. These thin shards of porcelain can be used to cover up the natural teeth, allowing you to address virtually any cosmetic issue that could be aging your smile.
No matter what it is that makes you a little bit insecure about your teeth, there’s a cosmetic treatment that can not only help you, but can give you a smile you may not have even thought was possible.
