You\u2019ve been working on getting a great beach body but feel like it\u2019s not going to distract from your noticeably stained and slightly crooked smile. Between all the outings and events you have planned this summer, you know you\u2019re going to be tagged in hundreds of candid pictures and want to look great, even when you\u2019re not trying to. Lucky for you, you have a few options to put your smile makeover into motion.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to\nget your smile brighter. There are two options available to you for the most\nconvenient experience: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>In-Office\nWhitening<\/strong>\u2014This treatment offers you immediate results while getting\nprofessional help. You\u2019re able to sit back and relax while your dentist begins\nthe three-part process. Your dentist will apply a whitening gel that helps\ntackle the surface stains on your teeth. It may be reapplied to achieve your\ndesired smile. <\/li><li><strong>At-Home\nWhitening<\/strong>\u2014If an extra couple of appointments with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.okdentalexpressions.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">cosmetic\ndentist<\/a> isn\u2019t doable for your schedule, you can always get a professional\nat-home treatment from them. These kits come with customized trays for your\nteeth that you can wear during the day or night. Typically, this process takes\na couple of weeks, but they give you the professional results that you\u2019d receive\nfrom in-office treatment. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While teeth whitening may be able to brighten your smile, it\ncan\u2019t make it appear straighter or cover up chips and cracks in your teeth.\nPorcelain veneers can correct all of these problems. They are thin porcelain\nshells that are crafted from impressions taken by your cosmetic dentist. Not\nonly are they stain-resistant, but they are also made to look and feel like\nyour natural teeth. Once your veneers have been made, your dentist will double\ncheck the fit and bond them to your teeth, creating a seamless smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cosmetic Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cosmetic bonding is another procedure that can help repair\ngaps, misshapen teeth, and chipped teeth. A composite resin is used to make\nyour smile symmetrical and even. Because it doesn\u2019t require any kind of\npreparation, it\u2019s often a fairly fast procedure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your dentist will choose a resin that closely resembles the\ncolor of your natural teeth, and then they\u2019ll craft it to look similar in\ntexture to enamel. It will then be molded and bonded to your tooth with\nultraviolet light. After it\u2019s attached, they\u2019ll go in and perfect all the fine\ndetails by trimming and shaping your tooth to match the rest of your smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a seamless summer smile without gaps, chips, or cracks\nwon\u2019t just make you feel more confident; it\u2019ll make you look great. Worrying\nabout how you look in pictures will be a thing of the past after you get your\ndream smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Colin Holman is able to provide complete comprehensive care to you and your family.
