As the new year hovers on the horizon, it’s natural to feel compelled to make improvements in your appearance. If you have smile flaws that have left you feeling less confident and hesitant to show your ivories, then this is the perfect time to take action so that the upcoming year can be full of positivity. As you continue reading, your dentist in Dallas lists some of the avenues available for creating the smile of your dreams!
Teeth Whitening for a Brighter Smile
Stubborn teeth stains and discoloration can draw unwelcomed attention and make for a poor first impression. With professional teeth whitening that uses high-powered bleaches to penetrate into the enamel, your teeth can be left up to eight shades brighter.
Whether you undergo the procedure in-office or at home, you can count on achieving phenomenal results, leaving you looking younger and more vibrant.
A New Crown for a Revamped Appearance
If you have a badly worn or discolored tooth, you don’t have to settle for an unattractive restoration. An all-ceramic crown provides a way to salvage the existing tooth, while strengthening and improving its appearance. Additionally, as part of a fixed bridge, a crown can be used to replace a missing tooth to close an unflattering gap in your smile.
Your Flaws Masked with Porcelain Veneers
Thin shells that are made from high-grade ceramics, porcelain veneers provide a way to mask such flaws as chips, stains, minor crowding, gaps and misalignment. To ensure that you’ll have an aesthetically pleasing final image, your dentist will use a shade guide to find the perfect color match before the procedure begins.
Then, after your teeth are prepped by your dentist removing a thin layer of enamel and taking bite impressions, a custom smile plan will be sent to an-network lab that will fabricate your new veneers. Meanwhile, you’ll be fitted with a set of temporary veneers to protect your teeth. When the permanent fixtures return from the lab, you’ll be invited back to have the finished veneers bonded into position and ready to show to the world.
Dental Implants for a Complete and Functional Smile
With a surgically inserted dental implant, you can look forward to having a smile that is just as functional as it is attractive. The cylinder-shaped titanium post is used to replace a missing tooth from the root to the crown, which means the surrounding teeth don’t have to be disturbed.
The procedure, which has a 95% success rate, is highly effective because of the natural fusion that occurs between the implant and the underlying jawbone, which is referred to as osseointegration. In fact, the stability provided by a dental implant only takes second place to the actual root itself. Once you’ve healed from the procedure, an abutment and final restoration are added to create a smile that looks and functions better than ever.
