Summer is finally here; get ready for warm, sunny days, cannonballs into the swimming pool, and backyard cookouts with family and friends! There are plenty of fun things to do this summer that will put a smile on your face—but you want your smile to look amazing, don’t you? There are many cosmetic dentistry treatments available that can give you a smile that looks and feels amazing, and summer is the perfect time for it! Keep reading to learn about three of the best cosmetic treatments available for your smile this summer.
#1. Teeth Whitening
If you’re unhappy with the color of your teeth, you aren’t alone; many people have stained teeth, but teeth whitening offers a convenient solution! Your dentist can whiten your teeth using special tools and medical-grade bleaching agents that are stronger than anything you can buy at the store. They can safely polish your teeth in a matter of minutes, effectively removing any visible surface stains and giving your smile a sparkling glow.
Your dentist can also give you a take-home whitening kit that contains special whitening gels and custom-made mouth trays. They’ll also give you detailed instructions about how to use the kit; be sure to follow their instructions closely if you want your results to be satisfactory!
#2. Porcelain Veneers
If you’re thinking about a total smile makeover by the end of summer, porcelain veneers might be your best bet. These tiny, thin sheets of special porcelain are bonded to the outer surfaces of your teeth, greatly improving their appearance. They have many applications including:
- They can fix minor chips and cracks in your teeth.
- They can close obvious gaps between your teeth.
- They make your teeth appear straighter and whiter.
Veneers can last for 10 – 20 years if you take care of them; between their longevity and their usefulness, they’re a great option for drastically improving your smile!
#3. Invisalign
When it comes to straightening misaligned teeth in a subtle manner with little to no hassle, nothing tops Invisalign! This option has become incredibly popular in recent years because of how convenient the treatment process is. The aligner trays are made of a transparent plastic material, making them difficult to see while they’re being worn.
But the best part is that unlike traditional braces, Invisalign trays can easily be removed when necessary—although they need to be worn 20 – 22 hours a day to be successful. The trays slowly shift your teeth into a healthier, straighter position over the course of a few months. Other than swapping to a new set of trays every couple of weeks, they require little outside maintenance other than being cleaned often and taken out during mealtime.
This summer, there are many ways you can obtain a smile that you’ll be proud to show off. Talk with your dentist to see if any of these cosmetic options are an appropriate solution for you.
