Summer is a wonderful time of year. Whether you plan to go on vacation or simply enjoy the beautiful weather in your local area, you should have a confident and bright smile that complements your surroundings. But what if you are dissatisfied with the way your teeth look? A dentist can help. This blog post touches on three cosmetic dental treatments that are perfect for achieving a confident summertime smile.
Teeth Whitening
A bright white set of teeth looks gorgeous with sun-kissed skin! If you would like to get rid of stubborn dental stains, you might consider:
- In-office teeth whitening. In just about one hour or so, your dental team may be able to brighten your teeth by several shades.
- At-home whitening. Professional at-home whitening kits usually take about two weeks to achieve maximum results.
Whitening treatments are particularly popular before summer events where a lot of photos get taken, such as weddings and graduations.
Veneers
If you want the results of your cosmetic treatment to last for many summers to come, you might think about getting veneers. These custom pieces of porcelain can hide a range of imperfections, including chips, cracks, stains, and more. The treatment usually takes just a few appointments, and veneers often last for decades before they need to be replaced.
Plus, veneers are highly resistant to stains, so you can enjoy summer berries, refreshing beverages, and even barbecue sauce without worrying too much about discoloring your teeth.
Metal-Free Restorations
Do you have an old metal crown that interferes with the natural beauty of your smile? If so, ask your dentist if you can get it replaced with a metal-free alternative. A crown made of porcelain or ceramic looks almost identical to natural tooth enamel, so it can blend in seamlessly with the surrounding dentition. Metal-free crowns are also extremely durable and can last for many years. Additionally, they do not conduct temperatures like metal crowns, so you can enjoy icy summer treats without worrying too much about increased dental sensitivity.
