It’s hard to believe that the holiday season is right around the corner. If you’re one of the millions of people who are going home for the holidays this year, why not put your best foot forward by enhancing your smile? On top of being able to show off your new smile at holiday gatherings, you’ll also go into the new year with a brand new sense of self-confidence. If you’re ready to take the first step, keep reading below about the procedures a cosmetic dentist in Superior can use to transform your smile!
Tooth-Colored Fillings
At one time, metal fillings were the only option dentists had to repair cavities. Fortunately, those days are over. Now, we can place tooth-colored fillings that blend in beautifully with your natural tooth structure, so no one will be able to tell that you had dental work.
Whitening
Whitening is incredibly popular because it provides big results for a relatively small investment of time and money. And since the strength of over-the-counter products is limited by the FDA, you’ll get the best results, safely and reliably, with a professional treatment.
After having custom-made trays made by a dentist in Superior, you’ll fill them with a professional-strength whitening gel and wear them at home for a specified amount of time each day (or night, depending on which option you choose). Most people get their final results in about 10-14 days.
Porcelain Veneers
These thin, strong “shells” are adhered to the front of the teeth to give them a brand new appearance. This one cosmetic procedure can practically do it all and is perfect for any of the following flaws:
- Chips
- Gaps
- Severe staining that doesn’t respond to whitening treatments
- Minor crowding
- Small or oddly shaped teeth
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding involves using white filling material (the same material used for white fillings done on back teeth) to repair small imperfections on the front teeth. It’s great for small chips, cracks, cavities and discolorations.
The best way to find out which of these procedures is best for you is to schedule a consultation with a cosmetic dentist. In some cases, they may simply recommend a whitening treatment, while more than one procedure may work better in others. Either way, you can bet that you’ll look great this holiday season!
