Albertville, AL
Do you keep a mile-long wishlist? Whether you keep it in your head, as a note on your phone or computer, or maybe even in an online store, many of us create a wishlist with the hopes that one day we’ll be able to buy the items on our list. But not every wishlist has to be full of “things.” How about a wishlist of dental treatments to give you the smile you’ve always dreamed of? Below, our cosmetic dentist in Albertville lists several procedures and gadgets you may want to add to your dental wishlist!
Teeth whitening
Why not gift yourself a bright, beautiful smile? It’s the gift that keeps on giving! Wall Street Dentistry’s professional-grade whitening agents can dramatically improve the color of your teeth, erasing years of extrinsic (external) stains from coffee, tea, red wine, dark sodas or smoking. Our treatment takes about an hour, and results can last from six months to two years!
If you have intrinsic (internal) tooth stains from an injury, certain prescription medications or fluorosis, unfortunately, neither professional nor over-the-counter whitening products will likely mask these stains. Our Albertville cosmetic dentist can still correct them, however, with porcelain veneers or dental bonding right in our office!
Porcelain veneers
If you have minor imperfections in your teeth, ask our dental team about porcelain veneers. Veneers are durable, wafer-thin shells that are custom-made to match your existing teeth and mask chips, cracks, breaks and even gaps between teeth. Veneers can also be used to enlarge or elongate teeth that are too small compared to other teeth in your mouth, and they are often recommended to correct the appearance of slightly crooked teeth.
Dental implants
If you’re missing a tooth or multiple teeth, nothing can replace them more naturally and seamlessly than dental implants, which begin with titanium posts that are surgically inserted into the jaw and fuse with the jawbone. This stimulates the jawbone and keeps it healthy, just like natural teeth. A crown, which is an artificial tooth custom-made to fit and match your smile, is then attached to the post. Dental implants restore the aesthetics and functionality of a smile.
Gadgets for home hygiene
While nothing can replace a classic toothbrush and floss to keep your teeth healthy, strong and beautiful, some people add dental gadgets to boost their hygiene routine at home.
Here are a couple tools that you may consider adding to your dental wishlist:
Electric toothbrush — These workhorses are known to clean all the surfaces of your teeth with very little effort on your part. No different than using a classic brush, be sure to brush for two minutes at a time twice a day. Our Albertville family dentist recommends brushing after breakfast and again before bed.
Water flosser — While no replacement for traditional floss, water flossers are effective tools that help wash away bacteria, food particles and debris in the mouth.
