3 Cosmetic Dental Treatments to Get Just in Time for Summer

Are you feeling confident and ready for summer vacation? During this time of the year, many people are trying to get ready for the warmer weather, and one way you can do this is by prepping your smile. When you are on the beach or hanging out by the pool, you don’t want to feel insecure about your teeth. If you don’t think your smile is camera ready, you don’t need to settle for it. There are numerous cosmetic dental treatments out there that can help you achieve the goals you have for your teeth. Here are a few you can get just in time for summer!

Invisalign

If you have teeth that are misaligned, you don’t need to show off a mouthful of metal brackets and wires in order to have it corrected. Instead, you can choose Invisalign as a teeth straightening option. This treatment uses a series of clear plastic aligners to slowly move your teeth into their new locations. There are numerous benefits, including that you can remove them, they are practically invisible, and you won’t have any eating restrictions throughout the duration of your treatment. No one will even be able to tell that you are wearing them.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth become discolored over time for a number of reasons, including drinking pigmented beverages, using tobacco products, and aging. However, discoloration is still one of the most common things that people are self-conscious about. This can be reduced with professional teeth whitening. You can either go to the dental office for treatment using a strong whitening agent and walk out with noticeably whiter teeth, or you can ask about custom take-home whitening kits to use in the course of two weeks.

Porcelain Veneers

If you’re looking to have a complete smile makeover in time for the summer months, porcelain veneers could be the perfect option. They are thin shells of porcelain that are placed over the front surface of the teeth in order to cover up imperfections. This includes gaps, chips, stains, misshapen teeth, and slightly crooked teeth. They are a preferred option by celebrities because they can help you to achieve a red-carpet ready smile. If that’s what you’re looking for, porcelain veneers may be the answer.

This summer, show off your teeth with confidence. Ask your dentist about your cosmetic dental options. This way, you can come up with the perfect plan to achieve your smile goals!
