Each year as the holidays near, we have an increase in the number of patients who inquire about ways to enhance the appearance of their smiles. Whether it’s prompted by the number of gatherings surrounding the holidays or increased functions for meeting new people, wanting to put our “best smile forward” seems to be given more attention.
What are the best ways to improve the appearance of a smile?
For teeth that are crowded, misshaped, broken or chipped, porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns provide the best durability, longevity and natural look and feel of any dental material used for cosmetic and restorative dentistry. This material also resists staining better than other materials.
Missing teeth can be replaced by crown-&-bridge combinations or, ideally, dental implants. Dental implants are positioned in the jaw bone (as are natural tooth roots) so they are able to restore dependable function while preserving the bone mass that supports them.
What is a fast, more affordable way to improve the appearance of a smile?
For those who are on a tight budget and need a quick way to perk up a smile’s appearance, teeth whitening is an excellent choice.
As adults age, years of staining can turn teeth to yellow or brown. This discoloration occurs most often from coffee, tea, red wine, colas and tobacco, but can also result from trauma or antibiotics.
Whiter teeth are an affordable way to make flaws in a smile less noticeable. Plus, white teeth project a healthy, well-cared for smile that sends a positive message to others.
Are drug store teeth whitening kits effective?
While mild levels of whitening teeth are improved with some of the OTC whitening kits, the level of whitening and the longevity won’t hold a candle to that provided by a dental office.
In our Shelby Township dental office, we have used the Zoom 2 whitening system for an in-office whitening that…
• is safe for teeth and gums
• provides dramatic levels of whitening, even for deeply stained or discolored teeth
• is ideal for people with sensitive gums
• is quick through an appointment that takes about an hour
• provides results that lasts a long time
• is an affordable way to quickly whiten teeth with beautiful, long-lasting results!
Why not treat yourself to an early holiday gift that gives you even more reasons to smile? Skip the boxed kit and get the results that will make a beautiful, impressive smile long after the holidays are over!
