If you’re not happy with the way your teeth look, a beautiful smile is possible with cosmetic dentistry, but is it safe? Yes! With the right dentist by your side, you can turn the smile of your dreams into reality without harming your teeth or gums. Cosmetic dentistry is a big investment, so you don’t want to trust your smile to just anyone. Here are a few things to look for to ensure you have the best dentist to safely create the picture-perfect smile you desire.
Invest in the Best Dentist
Your first step toward a beautiful smile is finding a cosmetic dentist with the qualifications and experience you can trust to transform your teeth. They will have the advanced training necessary to help you create your best smile. Ask your friends, family, or co-workers for a list of recommendations and review each dentist’s background to ensure they are qualified in elective procedures. Choose a dentist who regularly continues their education and is a member of various professional organizations, like the American Dental Association.
After you’ve found a great dentist, it’s time to schedule your consultation to ensure you’re a candidate for cosmetic dentistry. It is safe for most people with healthy teeth and gums. Good oral health is important because untreated dental problems can be worsened or covered up by cosmetic procedures. If you need a little prep work, it’s time well-spent to ensure your safety and the overall success of your investment.
Options for an Attractive Smile
There are more options than ever to choose from to address common aesthetic flaws, like chips, gaps, and stains. However, not all options will be right for you. Your dentist will examine your mouth and learn more about your goals to determine which cosmetic treatments are safe for you, like:
- Porcelain Veneers: Correct many imperfections at once by bonding veneers to the front surfaces of your teeth visible when smiling.
- Metal-Free Dental Crowns: Preserve or repair compromised teeth using all-ceramic crowns that look natural.
- Cosmetic Dental Bonding: A composite resin is shaded to match the color of your enamel to blend in with your tooth when fixing minor issues.
- Teeth Whitening: Surface and age-related stains can improve by up to 8 shades using a professional-grade whitening agent.
- Gum Recontouring: A soft tissue laser can sculpt the gum line to make teeth look more proportionate.
You can have a stunning, confident smile with cosmetic dentistry. Your dentist will create the personalized strategy you need using proven technologies and techniques while keeping your comfort and safety their top priority.
