Historically, it\u2019s true that getting elective dental work done to enhance your appearance was a luxury that only a select few could afford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, more recent advancements in materials and technology have made treatments more accessible, so upgrading your grin is more affordable than ever. Continue reading to learn about three improvements that can give you a smile worthy of the red carpet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improvement #1: Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have stubborn stains on your teeth that you just can\u2019t seem to brush away, or have you tried over-the-counter whitening products that don\u2019t produce the desired results? If so, you could benefit from professional teeth whitening with your dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the simplest and most cost-effective enhancements you can make, and unlike commercial products, your provider has access to ultra-concentrated gels for maximum results. Whether you prefer the instant results from an in-office session or the ease of a customized take-home kit, they can help you safely brighten your grin. Soon, you\u2019ll have a smile that you can\u2019t wait to show off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improvement #2: Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it\u2019s easy and effective, whitening can\u2019t address other imperfections like chips, cracks, mild overcrowding, or slightly crooked teeth. If you\u2019re frustrated by one or more such aesthetic concerns, you might be an ideal candidate for porcelain veneers. These thin, ceramic shells are bonded to their front surface to mask flaws and are customized to be the correct shade, shape, and size for seamless results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For these to line up flush against your gums, your dentist must remove a thin layer of enamel. This protective layer won\u2019t grow back, making this an irreversible change to the structure of your teeth. They\u2019re more vulnerable to decay, damage, and disease without veneers or another restoration. Fortunately, these prosthetics can last 15+ years, making them an excellent long-term enhancement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improvement #3: Dental Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re worried about the permanence of removing some of your enamel, then veneers might not be right for you. Those looking for a less invasive alternative might do better with cosmetic dental bonding. During this procedure, your dentist applies color-matched composite resin directly to your pearly whites to mend or mask problems like discoloration, chips, cracks, and misshapen teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This treatment can often be completed from start to finish in a single visit, leading many patients to question whether the results will last. If you\u2019re worried about sacrificing convenience for longevity by choosing this method, you can set your concerns aside. The results can last 10+ years if you care for them correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re eager to flash a camera-ready smile and aren\u2019t sure where to start, the best next step is to schedule a consultation with your dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Brown, Reynolds, Snow, LeNoir Dentistry, you and your family benefit from a team of experts who provide a full array of services at two convenient locations.
