cosmetic<\/a> dental procedures available to help reclaim your smile just in time for the summer. From teeth whitening to veneers, you can enjoy a personalized option to keep your smile wide and your vacation stress-free.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Say Goodbye to Stains with Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n
From toothpastes to strips, you can find dozens of products promising to whiten your teeth at your local drug store. However, exploring whitening options with your dentist is the most reliable way to brighten your smile significantly. Many dentists offer a simple yet custom option with teeth whitening trays.<\/p>\n
Whitening trays are take-home products that don\u2019t interrupt your busy schedule. All you need to do is add the whitening solution.\u00a0 After snapping on the custom fit trays to your teeth, you can go about your day, only needing to wear them for a few hours. Once your custom whitening trays have been made, they can be used over and over, brightening your smile with as little hassle as possible.<\/p>\n
Restore Your Smile with Bonding and Veneers<\/h2>\n
To get rid of the dents and chips in your smile, tooth bonding and dental veneers offer an easy way to achieve dramatic results. Both procedures are meant to fix minor flaws in your smile, but it\u2019s important to figure out which would be best for you.<\/p>\n
Tooth Bonding<\/h3>\n
Out of the two, tooth bonding is the simpler and cheaper option. To remove the imperfections, your dentist will apply a resin to your tooth, smoothing and polishing the material before it hardens. The resin is made to match the color and sheen of your natural teeth. The procedure is quick and usually completed in a single visit.<\/p>\n
Porcelain Veneers<\/h3>\n
Porcelain veneers are custom, wafer-thin shells that are attached to the front of your teeth. They address a wide variety of imperfections, including cracks, chips, stains and other types of wear. Veneers resist stains better than tooth bonding and will appear more natural. It is important to note that unlike tooth bonding, dental veneers are irreversible. However, they offer a permanent way to restore or transform your smile.<\/p>\n
These treatment options can get your smile ready for summer and all those pictures. That way you can focus on enjoying each precious moment. Whether you\u2019re relaxing by the pool or catching a Toledo Mud Hens\u2019 game, your dentist can help you make the most of your summer with a bright smile and happy heart.<\/p>\n
