Changing the appearance of your smile may seem like a daunting task but believe it or not it doesn’t have to be. In fact, there are three amazing cosmetic dentistry treatments that can make major changes to your teeth and gums faster and less invasively than you may have realized. Here’s a closer look at how you can quickly and easily improve your smile with the help of your dentist!
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening treatment from your dentist is probably the least invasive way to make noticeable changes to your smile. In about an hour, Zoom! whitening can remove up to eight shades of stains and discoloration from your teeth. With proper hygiene, the results can last for years, and because your dentist uses the highest quality ingredients, sensitivity is kept to a minimum. In fact, you won’t even need numbing prior to treatment!
Laser Gum Recontouring & Crown Lengthening
While it’s true that this treatment used to be considered invasive because it required the use of a scalpel and stitches, today your dentist uses a soft-tissue laser to remove excess gum tissue that may be making your smile look too gummy or your teeth short and stubby. This treatment is not only permanent, but it also can be done in just one visit, requires no stitches, and because the laser cauterizes as it works, it reduces your risk of infection. Not only will it make an amazing impact on your smile, but it will also make caring for your teeth and gums easier, too!
Metal-Free Restorations
Although metal-free restorations do require your dentist to remove either damaged tooth enamel or older metal restorations, this treatment can be done in one appointment, and your newly restored teeth can be used to enjoy a full diet as soon as you’re ready to eat. Most patients experience no downtime, and if they do experience any discomfort following treatment find that over-the-counter pain relievers are extremely effective.
Remember, cosmetic dentistry doesn’t have to be a major production. With these three fast, easy treatments you can easily improve the appearance of your smile without undergoing a lengthy procedure.
