Are yellowed teeth compromising your otherwise perfect Instagram photos? Do your pearly whites have more chips than Venus de Milo? Is your nickname “Shark” because of your chaotic dental alignment? If you answered “Yes!” to any of these dramatized scenarios, you’re not alone. Discoloration, damage, and misalignment are three common cosmetic dental dilemmas.
Keep reading not just to relate, but to also learn how your dentist can help.
Stubborn Stains, Meet Teeth Whitening!
Stained teeth have got to be one of if not the most annoying cosmetic issues. You brush twice a day, with “whitening” toothpaste. When that doesn’t work, you add mouthwash to your routine. And when you’re still seeing yellow, you go to the store to snatch up some charcoal or baking soda.
Let’s put away the unconventional methods for now. Many of them involve abrasive products that could harm your enamel and add to your woes. Instead, talk to your dentist about an in-office teeth whitening treatment. They have special equipment and training that’s much more effective than anything you’ll find at the store. After their expert care, you’ll be ready to dazzle your social media followers!
Dental Flaws? Veneers Have Got You Covered
Maybe your cosmetic concerns are a little more nuanced. There are some chips. Or cracks. Or small but awkward gaps. Basically, you’re frustrated with how inconsistent your smile looks. If that’s the situation, dental veneers might be your solution.
A dental veneer, much like a cabinet veneer, is a thin covering that’s placed over the front-facing portion of your tooth. They’re also custom-made, meaning they can match the shape, size, and color of your other teeth. Besides beautifying your smile, dental veneers can also provide some extra protection for teeth with thin enamel. They’re often associated with Hollywood appeal for a reason – just ask Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts!
Straighten Out Crooked Teeth with Clear Aligners
Ah, a classic predicament. You have the same problem as many early 2000’s TV teens, and that scares you. Traditional braces will correct misaligned pearly whites, but at what cost?
Luckily for you, dentistry has come a long way since ’05. With a tray of clear aligners, you can skip the cumbersome metal wires and uncomfortable brackets. Credible brands like Invisalign can straighten your teeth without anyone even knowing you’re wearing them. Just make sure you clean them properly and remember to take them out before eating. Otherwise, they won’t be so invisible or comfortable for long.
Did any of these dental dilemmas resonate with you? If so, get excited! Your dentist can help glamorize your teeth with one of these relatively simple solutions. Even if your cosmetic dental situation didn’t match these descriptions exactly, your dentist will still be happy to consult with you. They enjoy helping patients fall in love with their smile and will do what they can to find a best-fit solution for you and your pearly whites.
