The desire for a beautiful smile is something more and more patients are actively seeking. As a result, cosmetic dentistry is becoming increasingly popular thanks to social media, “influencers,” celebrities, and the virtual workforce. If you are someone who would like to see an improvement in your smile but would rather avoid complex forms of treatment, here are three minimally invasive solutions you can consider.
Say Goodbye to Stains with Teeth Whitening
Teeth that appear dull or yellow can be off-putting when meeting someone for the first time or a potential employer. Instead of approaching a new opportunity feeling embarrassed by your smile, why not try teeth whitening?
As one of the most conservative forms of cosmetic dentistry available, you don’t have to worry about anesthesia, drills, or tooth alterations. Instead, you can receive treatment that targets the stains and discoloration above and below the enamel, leaving you with a smile that is several shades brighter in just two weeks.
Conceal Small Flaws with Cosmetic Bonding
Small chips, cracks, and gaps may leave you feeling embarrassed by what you see in the mirror, but cosmetic dental bonding can be the answer to all of these problems.
Consisting of composite resin – the same material used for tooth-colored fillings – that is matched to your natural enamel color, your cosmetic dentist will apply it to your tooth and begin to shape it into place. The imperfection will be fully covered, and the resin will lay flat so that it blends in with your smile.
Not only is the procedure quick and easy to complete, but you can expect to see beautiful results in just one appointment.
Smile Confidently with Invisalign
If your teeth are slightly crooked, gapped, or misaligned, you can turn to Invisalign for help. Consisting of clear, plastic aligners that gently shift teeth over time, it allows for a flexible and discreet way to pursue treatment without bringing attention to your smile.
Its flexibility and ease of use make it a great alternative to traditional metal braces, and with Invisalign, you can see results much faster than you would with other forms of orthodontic treatment.
The only caveat is that Invisalign does require a level of responsibility on your part, as you must commit to wearing the trays 20-22 hours each day to achieve the desired results.
Obtaining a beautiful smile doesn’t have to mean enduring multiple appointments or dramatic tooth alterations. Instead, you can opt for solutions that deliver the same kind of results, all while allowing you to experience an easier, less extensive form of treatment.
