A gorgeous smile is a magnificent accessory to any outfit and a significant asset in the professional world and on the social scene, but many people live with distracting dental defects that can make them shy about showing off their grins. Thankfully, your cosmetic dentist offers a range of treatments that can address a wide variety of aesthetic flaws so you can enjoy the improved confidence that comes with a lovely smile. Here’s a guide to a few traits that make for a beautiful smile and how your dentist can help you achieve them.
Almost Everyone Would Like Whiter Teeth
Throughout the world, whiter teeth are associated with beauty, status, health, and youth, but habits like smoking and frequent exposure to the pigments and dyes in items like coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and dark sauces can cause stubborn dental stains and discoloration to form. Luckily, your dentist can perform a teeth whitening treatment through a one-hour in-office procedure or a customized take-home kit that can be completed in about two weeks. In either case, your teeth will be left up to eight shades whiter.
Symmetry Is Attractive
A symmetrical smile is a visually pleasing sign of health that can make it easy to leave a favorable first impression. While no smile is completely perfect, many people are left with frustratingly asymmetrical teeth due to uneven wear, injuries, or alignment issues. Thankfully, a skilled dentist can reshape teeth with treatments like veneers and cosmetic bonding, which can address a range of issues like chips, gaps, stains, cracks, and misshapenness. They may even be able to use veneers to address minor misalignments without orthodontic appliances.
Metal Teeth Can Be Distracting
Dental crowns have been used to reinforce compromised teeth for centuries, but older restorations are often made from metal that can make a tooth appear significantly darker than the others. Some models may incorporate a metal base and a ceramic shell to create a lifelike appearance, but these can begin to show thin dark lines as these two parts separate due to age. Today’s dentists can replace these distracting appliances with functional tooth-colored restorations that are indistinguishable from natural dental structure.
Cosmetic dentistry has allowed many patients to achieve their ideal grins. Consulting with your dentist can help you find out if any treatments like teeth whitening, veneers, cosmetic bonding, and metal-free restorations are right for you.
