COSMETIC DENTISTRY MAY CHANGE YOUR LIFE

It is well known that an attractive smile can bring you a lot of benefits and surveys have proved it also. You are more likely to be accepted for an important job if you have a straight and shiny smile than if you have yellow and untidy teeth. Yellow teeth may also cause your employer to believe that you are an inveterate smoker, becoming another disadvantage in your way to success. This is the reason for the fact that, nowadays, more and more people see cosmetic dentistry as the solution to most of their problems.

From teeth whitening to different types of tooth veneers, the dentist holds the key to your smile. However, although people are aware of the fact that fixing their teeth can help their life, the fear with which people think of a dentist still exists. This is why many doctors have decided to change their clients’ perception of a dental checkup. They have started to offer free consultations, which is quite a good method to attract clients and convince them that going to the dentist isn’t that bad. Dental Day Spas have also started to spread. These Spas offer to patients different fun ways to relax before or even while the dentist takes care of their teeth and are equipped with the latest technologies. One example would be the procedure zoom whitening – the fastest type of teeth whitening that exists till now.

Cosmetic dentistry involves many procedures, but the most popular of all is teeth whitening. This is due to the increasing number of smokers and coffee lovers as well as to the fact that it is slightly less expensive and faster than other procedures. On the other hand, it can have its disadvantages also causing your teeth to become more sensitive and your gums mildly irritated. However, those who are willing to take a risk might be interested in the fact that overall there are 2 types of whitening options: at-home, with the help of dentifrices (whitening toothpastes) and over-the-counter whitening gels, strips and many more – a less riskier solution, and in-office which can be done only with the help of a dentist.

The latest teeth whitening option refers to laser bleaching. It lasts for an hour and consists in a laser light applied in a cycle to activate the bleaching solution that the dentist has previously applied on your teeth. As dentists say, with this type of cosmetic dentistry, your teeth can get up to ten shades whiter.

Many people don’t know if they should choose at-home techniques and do everything on their own or solve their problems with the help of cosmetic dentistry. This decision can be made only if you go for a checkup. Nothing should be done without an expert’s opinion. A dentist will help you find the cause of your problem, the exact shade of your teeth and the type of intervention that best suits you.

Cosmetic dentistry, however, doesn’t involve only the bleaching of teeth. Actually, whitening procedures represent only a small part of this amazing dentistry art. Maybe you have a missing tooth; implants are the solution. Maybe you have buck or crooked teeth; then braces can straighten them out. Cosmetic dentistry can be used not only to repair, but also to redesign. You can change your whole smile and implicitly your life and appearance just with a visit to your dentist.

For those who are afraid that teeth whitening could make their teeth more sensitive, there is another option: veneers. Veneers are a thin shell of porcelain that covers your teeth, so if you don’t like the color of your smile you can opt for this kind of treatment with confidence.

So stop wasting time! Stop making a habit from covering your smile with your hands whenever you speak or laugh! Why live with this complex when you can go for a teeth whitening procedure or to an orthodontic treatment and gain a bundle of confidence? Whatever is your problem, cosmetic dentistry has its solution.
