Everyone deserves to enjoy a beautiful smile — but most people have a small chip here, a few stains there, or other imperfections that prevent them from feeling really confident about their grin. If that’s you, there are solutions available from your cosmetic dentist in Castle Rock. 4, to be precise. Keep reading to find out about your options in cosmetic dentistry.
#1: Porcelain Veneers Transform Teeth
For patients who are interested in really transforming their smiles, veneers may offer a great solution. They are thin shells of dental porcelain that cover up the appearance of cosmetically imperfect teeth. Just about any aesthetic flaw can be masked with veneers — from chips and stains to slight gaps, oddly shaped teeth, and more. Porcelain veneers are completed in just two visits to your cosmetic dentist’s office and can last for many years with proper maintenance.
#2: Teeth Whitening Brightens Several Shades
Professional teeth whitening is an excellent way to rejuvenate the smile without having to invest significant time or a big chunk of your budget to cosmetic dentistry. In a single visit to your dentist’s office, you can enjoy teeth that are several shades brighter, and just in time for that class reunion! But, if you can, we recommend that you complete the treatment at a more gradual pace at home. You can choose a take-home treatment that takes place over the course of about 2 weeks. It is more predictable, less expensive, and allows easy “touch ups” if your teeth begin to darken again months later.
#3: Invisalign: A Clear Alternative to Braces
Many adults could benefit from orthodontic treatment, but few wish to wear metal braces for 1 to 2 years. There is an alternative with Invisalign, a clear aligner system that allows you to straighten out your smile without all the visible hardware. Invisalign aligners are removable, which means you can eat what you like during the treatment and also take your braces out before big speaking events or important introductions. But these clear aligners are so subtle, people won’t even know you are wearing them. Most patients who could benefit from orthodontics can undergo treatment with Invisalign.
#4: Accelerated Orthodontics with Six Month Smiles
For patients whose orthodontic concerns are primarily cosmetic and located in the front of the mouth, Six Month Smiles is an accelerated treatment that can help you love your smile in about half a year. By quickly shifting the teeth that show when you speak and smile, this treatment dramatically improves your overall appearance — and the braces are off before you know it.
Which One Is Right for You?
If it’s crooked teeth that concern you, the answer may be Invisalign or Six Month Smiles. Damaged teeth can benefit from porcelain veneers — and just about everyone can enjoy the rejuvenating effects of professional teeth whitening. Imagine, we can straighten that crooked tooth, get rid of those gaps, fix the broken tooth, and lighten all your teeth – all right here in our Castle Rock office. Schedule an appointment with your cosmetic dentist to find out which of these you could benefit from most!
