If you plan to remember your summer vacation in later years, you’ll probably take vacation photos. There’ll be plenty of sights you’ll want to note so you can enjoy the trip even after it’s over. That said, you should try getting your smile in order before setting out. You don’t want to associate a fun summer with bad teeth, right?
Here are three summer-suited dental treatments from your cosmetic dentist in Chesterton. Read about them and consider if they’d contribute to good seasonal memories!
Direct Bonding
Direct bonding would be an excellent treatment choice before a photo-op-filled summer.
Fundamentally, the procedure applies a composite resin to tooth surfaces that can cover up chips, cracks, and gaps. Said resin is then hardened with a curing light after it’s shaped.
Because the dentist uses tooth-colored material, the result enhances a treated tooth’s appearance. Another great benefit is that it can be done in a single appointment, unlike other cosmetic dental services. You wouldn’t need to worry about whether it’d last the summer, either, since the improvement can last for over ten years with good oral hygiene.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers would make your teeth photo-worthy no matter the occasion.
By attaching to the exterior of a natural tooth, a veneer conceals your tooth’s chips, cracks, and gaps. Consequently, the porcelain improves your smile’s appearance with a natural, white look. It also compensates for enamel lost during placement by protecting your tooth from future damage. Best of all, the veneers would give you these results for fifteen years or more with proper oral care.
Teeth Whitening
Stained or discolored teeth can make for awkward social situations, especially when trying to take a picture. Unless you want an otherwise beautiful photo to include yellow teeth, you’ll probably want your “pearly whites” to live up to their nickname.
Professional teeth whitening could help you avoid this scenario. A dentist can brighten your tooth enamel safely and effectively by applying medical grade bleach and utilizing advanced dental technology. Many of them also offer take-home whitening kits that let you obtain similar results from home.
Summer is a season you ought to remember fondly. Contact your dentist about the above treatments so your smile shows how fun the season can be!
