White Teeth And A Dazzling Smile Can Be Yours
Do you want white teeth and a dazzling smile? If you are like most Americans
, the answer is yes. But unfortunately, the effects of our diets and lifestyles can have significant impact on how our teeth look. Yellowing of teeth, decay and poor hygiene has effects on a smile that don't portray the sparkle that we want the world to see.
So, what is one to do? Look no further than your local cosmetic dentist. Cosmetic dentists offer a variety of treatments that can leave your smile white and bright.
Teeth whitening is often the first step in improving one's teeth and is the most common cosmetic dental procedure. Teeth often become discolored as a result of aging, smoking and consuming dark colored liquids like coffee, tea and red wine. Whitening is done by applying oxidizing formulas to the teeth, which are generally held in place by plastic trays that have been custom formed to the teeth.
These whitening agents, most often in gel form, stay on the surface of the teeth for a specified period of time before being removed and can produce dramatic results. Some offices also offer laser whitening which uses light energy to speed the whitening process. Teeth whitening is very popular because results are seen quickly and by lightening, even by a few shades, the teeth, one's smile has a much brighter and more dazzling appearance.
Bonding and veneers can also dramatically change the look of someone's smile. In both procedures, materials are bonded directly to the front of the teeth and shaped into the desired form. These can be used for a variety of reasons including correcting chipped teeth, improving a worn appearance, closing gaps and disguising discolored teeth. In the process of Bonding, the dentist uses a tooth-colored resin material and utilizes a special light to harden it.
Veneers are composite or porcelain laminates that are bonded directly to the surface of a tooth. These procedures, while maintaining the natural tooth underneath and thus eliminating the need for painful pulling, can give the teeth a complete overhaul. If more extensive work is needed or more dramatic results desired, cosmetic dentistry also offer crowns and caps which fully encase the tooth instead of just covering the front of it.
Another option for patients are dental implants which are artificial replacements for teeth that are used to repair tooth loss. These implants can give a person a much younger look as missing teeth can often age a person. Cosmetic dentistry is an exciting option for those looking to improve the look of their smile. With teeth that are whiter, brighter and with shapes and finishes more pleasing to the eye, a person's who look can be significantly changed. A more dynamic smile portrays a more dynamic personality!
