Do you spend each morning looking at your teeth and pinpointing things that bother you? You may want to revamp them and have the perfect pearly whites you feel confident in, but what exactly makes a grin gorgeous? Keep reading to learn the traits that make a smile beautiful and how your dentist can help with cosmetic dental treatments.
What Makes a Smile Attractive?
For a set of teeth to be aesthetically pleasing, there are many factors that come into play. If you have any stains or discoloration, then they can be less appealing to look at. Combined with any damage (such as chips or cracks), you may add some years to your age. That’s because people often associate a worn grin with being older. Misalignment is also something that you may want to consider.
Not only are your teeth important, but the look of your gums also is! When they are healthy, they are pink and complement your pearly whites nicely. However, if you have periodontal disease, then they can appear noticeably red or inflamed.
How Can My Dentist Help Me Get to My Smile Goals?
The good news is that your dentist is here to help you correct any of the flaws that you have above! While some treatments may lean toward preventive or restorative care, they can help you get the aesthetic smile that you want. Here are some services that you can consider for your grin makeover:
- Clear Aligners: This orthodontic treatment is discreet compared to traditional braces. It slowly shifts your teeth into a healthy alignment without any metal wires or brackets.
- Teeth Whitening: A take-home kit from your dentist is much more effective and reliable than anything you can find in stores. These use a highly concentrated bleaching gel that breaks down stains on and within your enamel. It takes about two weeks to get results that are six to eight shades whiter.
- Veneers: This service is the placement of thin, porcelain shells on the front of your teeth, fixing up a wide range of flaws at once.
- Metal-Free Restorations: Many dentists have opted to use durable and natural-looking materials for dental crowns, fillings, and the like. That way, they blend into your smile without having a shiny look to them.
An attractive smile may be a closer goal than you think. By heading to your dental office, you can work with them to create a plan to help you get the pearly whites you’ll feel more confident in!
