People don’t normally associate summer with the dentist’s chair. Instead, they picture it involving sunlight, beaches, swimming, and time off from work. However, the warmer weather [MZ1] also means socializing and fun trips, including lots of photos and smiling.
If you want a smile ready for summer fun, you should see your local cosmetic dentist. To prove it, here are three cosmetic dental treatments perfect for the season!
Teeth Whitening
Stained or discolored teeth can make you self-conscious in low-key outings, let alone when you’re partying on the beach. Unless you want friends and family to see a yellow smile, you’ll probably want your “pearly whites” to live up to their nickname.
You could, perhaps, get professional teeth whitening that’d help you avoid this scenario. For the process, dentists would use medical-grade bleach and advanced dental technology to brighten your tooth enamel safely and effectively. Many of them offer take-home whitening kits too, which would let you obtain similar results from the comfort of home.
Invisalign
If you don’t want your summer spoiled by crooked or misaligned teeth, Invisalign would be a great choice.
Using trays of transparent, plastic material, they would discreetly straighten your smile without anyone the wiser. Plus, since they’re less likely to irritate gums and cheeks, they wouldn’t get in the way of your fun activities.
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign wouldn’t involve dietary restrictions or conspicuous metal either. Because the clear trays are removable and naturally blend in with your smile, they wouldn’t interfere with meals or impromptu photo shoots.
Porcelain Veneers
Whether at a barbeque or a poolside gathering, you don’t want your pals to see chipped, stained teeth when you bite your food. Porcelain veneers, thankfully, would keep that from happening.
By attaching to the exterior of a natural tooth, a veneer cosmetically enhances said tooth with one custom-designed to conceal blemishes and gaps. It wouldn’t look fake, either, since the porcelain it’s made of reflects light like real teeth, giving a natural appearance. Depending on your cosmetic and budgetary goals, you could get anywhere from a single veneer to a whole set.
You wouldn’t want your vacation photos to show you with icky teeth. Consider the above treatments so your smile shows how great summer can be!
