There are plenty of reasons that summer can bring a smile to your face. Sunny days on the beach, family barbeques, and exotic overseas vacations. So, why not make your smile the best one yet? Summertime is the perfect time to enhance your teeth with cosmetic dental treatments. Read on to learn about three of the best ones to get during the warmer months.
#1. Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatment is one of the most convenient and easy ways to enhance your appearance for your summer pics. As the years pass, your teeth can become stained or discolored from eating and drinking darkly pigmented food and beverages. And many over-the-counter products may temporarily brighten your smile, but their effect doesn’t last long.
However, you can get long-lasting bright teeth with professional teeth whitening. Your dentist can do an in-office treatment and your pearly whites can be transformed in less than one hour. Or you can opt for an at-home kit, which can wipe away stains within two weeks. Either way, you can on a smile that is at least eight shades whiter!
#2. Invisalign
Do you have misaligned or crooked teeth? Perhaps you have always wanted to straighten them but did not want to commit to months of wearing the metal wires and brackets of traditional braces. Fortunately, modern technology has made aligning your smile more discreet and comfortable than ever!
Invisalign uses a series of clear plastic trays to gently push your teeth into their desired position. Not only is the treatment very comfortable, but you also won’t have to miss out on any of your favorite summer foods! Since the aligners are removable, there will be no dietary restrictions. As long as you remove your aligners before you eat and brush your teeth before placing them back in your mouth, you can continue to enjoy a wide range of foods and beverages.
#3. Veneers
Veneers can instantly upgrade your teeth, which makes them perfect if you want to improve your smile before vacation. They address a range of dental issues, including:
- Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
- Severe staining and discoloration
- Gaps or spacing issues
- Crooked or misaligned teeth
By adhering ultra-thin shells of dental porcelain to the front surfaces of teeth, your smile flaws can be instantly covered, revealing a brighter, flawless smile.
There’s no better time to enjoy a brand-new smile than during the summer! With help from your dentist, your pearly whites can soon be shining just as brightly as the sun.
