You lead a busy life, but still want to improve your smile. Naturally, you may not be crazy about undergoing a complicated or time-consuming procedure to get there. So, how do you get noticeable results without committing to an invasive treatment that could be painful or require an extended recovery? The good news is that if you want to change the look of your teeth, there are plenty of cosmetic dentistry procedures that can get you the results you want without the wait. Here are three popular options!
Direct Bonding
Direct bonding or dental bonding is a procedure used to repair damage to individual teeth. Whether your teeth are chipped, worn, or broken, bonding can rebuild them with the same material used in tooth-colored fillings. This material is durable as well as natural looking and feeling, so nobody has to know it’s even there! Best of all, it is completely painless, requires zero downtime, and can be done in under an hour right at your dentist’s office.
Professional Whitening
Whether you’re looking for fast, affordable whitening in-office, or you’d like to take your time and do it in the comfort of your own home, your dentist offers professional grade whitening products to help remove up to eight shades of discoloration from your teeth. Professional products are more effective than over the counter, so they can be done faster and with less side effects like sensitivity.
Veneers
Veneers take a little bit longer than other cosmetic procedures, but they can typically be applied in just two visits. During your first appointment, your dentist will remove a small layer of enamel from your teeth. This should not be painful, but you will be numbed just in case. Once your teeth are reshaped, your dentist will take impressions to make your veneers with, and they will be sent to the lab. Once they’re ready, they will be sent back to the dentist, and you’ll be scheduled to have them attached. This is done with a special bonding cement and is pain free. There is no downtime once your new smile is set, and you can easily correct years of discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, and even “too small” teeth in one fell swoop!
Remember, changing your smile doesn’t have to be time consuming or painful. If you’d like to improve your appearance as minimally invasive as possible, speak to your dentist about your cosmetic dentistry options today!
