Albertville, AL
Summertime brings out the kid in us again, right? Toes in the sand, splashing in the water and soaking up every moment of the summer sun on family vacations and during backyard cookouts with friends and family. With phones doubling as cameras now, everyone will be taking photos to have photographs to look back on from such special times. Is your smile ready for the camera?
Summer brings out the youth in us, and a smile makeover can restore your smile to its youthful glow.
What’s a smile makeover, you ask? Our Albertville cosmetic dentists who specialize in smile makeovers have put together a list to tell you more. Read on!
What’s a smile makeover?
Exactly what it sounds like: a makeover of your smile, incorporating one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures to bring your youthful smile back to life. And since a smile is often the first thing people notice when meeting us, a smile makeover can drastically boost a person’s self-confidence.
Unfortunately, wear and tear takes a toll on our smiles over time, along with the erosion of tooth enamel, eating foods or drinking beverages that stain our teeth and having subconscious habits like clenching or grinding our teeth. But dental treatments to correct these issues have advanced alongside technology, and in as little as two weeks, our cosmetic dentists near Gadsden can combine cosmetic treatments to help reverse the signs of aging in your smile. Let’s look at a few:
Teeth whitening
We may want our skin to be tan in the summer, but we want our teeth to be white! Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments. Teeth can get dingy over time, and everyone can only benefit from a brighter, whiter smile. What about over-the-counter whiteners? A professional cosmetic dentist uses a far more powerful whitening gel than what is carried in stores, and a professional dental team will protect your gums from burning, unlike a store-bought whitening treatment.
Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, durable “shells” that adhere to the front surface of teeth that may be stained, cracked, chipped or have gaps between them. Veneers are an excellent option for restoring the appearance of one or multiple teeth at once.
Dental bonding and tooth reshaping
Similar to porcelain veneers, dental bonding can restore damaged and discolored teeth to their natural appearance and strength. Our Albertville cosmetic dentists can “rebuild” a tooth using the same durable composite resin material that is used to fill cavities. The tooth is shaped to match — in color and size — neighboring teeth. The bonding resin is then cured, or hardened, onto the existing tooth. This is a quick and painless cosmetic dentistry procedure with consistently great results.
Gum contouring
Sometimes, too much gum tissue covers the teeth, or an uneven gum line distracts from an otherwise beautiful smile. Minimally-invasive gum contouring can help reveal more of your pearly whites and straighten your gum line for a more polished smile.
Dental implants
Dental implants are a multi-part solution to replace a single lost tooth or multiple teeth. The process involves inserting a titanium post into the area of the jawbone where the natural tooth is missing. The post eventually fuses into the jawbone and becomes the root for a dental crown that is created to look exactly like the surrounding natural teeth in color, shape and size.
Orthodontics
Our dentists may suggest straightening your teeth as part of your smile makeover. When thinking of orthodontics, most people’s minds turn to traditional, often-uncomfortable metal braces. But technology has come a long way, and Invisalign is a practically invisible treatment option that corrects a smile in a fraction of the time as traditional braces!
