Fall Updates for Your SmileWhen you look in the mirror are you embarrassed by the noticeable flaws in your smile? From staining to spacing problems, imperfections in the smile can make it nearly impossible to feel confident. Fortunately, cosmetic dentistry makes it possible to move past these imperfections, and to actually enhance a smile’s natural beauty in the process. So if you are looking to really update your look this fall, don’t turn to the mall for temporary solutions, like a new outfit or accessory. Instead, speak to your cosmetic dentist about the long-lasting smile enhancements that can be created through cosmetic treatment!

Consider Professional Cosmetic Treatment for Enhancements

If your primary issue is the discoloration of your teeth, then teeth whitening is likely a viable option. Professional whitening can generally create more noticeable results, more quickly than over-the-counter products.

Though these OTC options you see at the grocery store or pharmancy may tout similar claims of whitening teeth, few are designed to create dramatic results fast, the way professional whitening can. Most professional treatments can lighten teeth by eight or more shades, during a single course of treatment.

What Does Your Smile Need?

If your causes of concern are more substantial than simple staining, then the dentist may recommend cosmetic bonding/contouring or porcelain veneers, both of which can help correct disproportionately sized or shaped teeth, but they can also help hide minor gaps between teeth, considered esthetic alignment issues. In some cases, the dentist may even recommend combining several treatments, in order to create a customized smile makeover.
