3 Cosmetic Treatment Options for a Brighter Summertime Smile

Summertime is finally in full swing, and you’ve probably got a lot going on these days! But while you’re out and about enjoying the warmer weather and fun-filled days, have you considered the state of your smile? If you’re feeling a little uninspired and unenthusiastic about your pearly whites, you should consider visiting your cosmetic dentist in Edison for smile-enhancing treatment! There are plenty of ways to achieve a brighter and whiter smile, and summer is a great time to get the ball rolling. Keep reading to learn more about three awesome cosmetic treatment options that are perfect for the summer.

Teeth Whitening

Your smile is one of the first things that people notice about you—so if yours is stained and yellow, you might feel a little embarrassed about it. But fortunately, teeth whitening offers an effective solution that can easily and impressively whiten your smile. Your dentist has access to special tools and equipment that are stronger than anything you can buy at the store. They can also send you home with a professional-grade whitening kit, so you can whiten on your own schedule. Both methods are sure to produce impressive results that can last up to 2 or 3 years (if you brush every day)!

Direct Cosmetic Bonding

Chipped or cracked teeth, or teeth that have sustained other minor injuries, might be good candidates for cosmetic bonding. Your dentist will use a small amount of composite resin to mask any visible aesthetic issues. They will safely mold the material to the tooth and shape it as needed, hiding any visible imperfections and flaws, and giving the tooth a uniform, near-perfect appearance. Then they’ll harden the resin with a curing light and before you know it, the process is complete! This solution can easily last for 10 or so years with proper oral care.

Porcelain Veneers

Sometimes, patients feel as if their smiles need a little more work than what teeth whitening or cosmetic bonding can offer. That said, porcelain veneers are one of the most flexible and effective cosmetic solutions available, capable of addressing a large scope of oral issues! Your dentist will bond thin sheets of dental-porcelain to the outer surfaces of your teeth, immediately improving their color, straightness, and overall appearance. These veneers can last for 10 – 20 years with proper care, meaning that your new smile is here to stay well beyond the summer season.

While you’re enjoying yourself this summer, you should want your smile to look its absolute best as you laugh, play, and make memories. Cosmetic treatment is the key to making this happen, so don’t hesitate to visit your dentist and get to work on achieving a beautiful smile.
