Summer is a delightful season. Whether you have big vacation plans, or you simply want to stay close to home and enjoy the beautiful sunshine, you should have a bright and confident smile that complements your lovely surroundings. But what if you are not completely satisfied with the way your teeth look? Your dentist is ready to help. Continue reading to learn about three cosmetic dental treatments that are perfect for achieving a brilliant summer smile.
Teeth Whitening
Bright white teeth can make a lovely contrast against a healthy summer tan! If you are interested in getting rid of stubborn dental stains, you might be a candidate for:
- In-office teeth whitening. This treatment usually takes just one hour or so and can brighten teeth by several shades!
- At-home professional whitening. An at-home whitening kit allows you to gradually complete your treatment over the course of two weeks or so.
Many people invest in professional whitening during summertime because they want to look their best for special events, such as weddings, graduations, and reunions.
Veneers
If you would like the results of your cosmetic treatment to last far beyond this summer, you might decide to get veneers. These custom pieces of porcelain can be attached to your teeth to hide numerous imperfections, such as discoloration, chips, cracks, and more. In many cases, they last 15 – 20 years before replacement becomes necessary.
Another perk of veneers is that they are very resistant to stains, so you can snack on summer berries, refreshing cold beverages, and even tasty barbecue sauce with minimal worry about discoloring your smile.
Metal-Free Restorations
Do you have an unsightly metal crown that embarrasses you when you smile, or do you know that one of your teeth needs to be repaired? Ask your dentist about metal-free restorations. Crowns and fillings can be made of materials that look almost indistinguishable from natural tooth enamel, so you will be able to enjoy optimum oral function and a beautiful smile as you attend all your summertime events.
