Kingston TN
What is the first thing that you notice when meeting someone new? It’s likely their smile that stands out the most. So, if you answered “smile”, the chances are that’s what others notice when meeting you for the first time. If you have crooked, stained, or chipped teeth, it may affect your self-confidence and how you interact with people in your personal and work life. It could also be giving off the wrong first impression. Cosmetic dentistry can help by altering or concealing tooth imperfections. Find out on our newest blog today how our Kingston cosmetic dentists can boost your self-confidence and improve your smile.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are crafted from thin but durable porcelain coverings that fit over your teeth. The dentist preps your teeth by removing a slight bit of tooth structure and then covers the teeth with temporaries. It takes about two to three weeks for the lab to make the veneers. Then you return to have your permanent veneers bonded to your teeth. The results are perfectly straight, white teeth. The best part is that veneers are incredibly natural looking, and no one will be able to tell that they aren’t your real teeth.
Teeth Whitening
If your teeth are relatively straight and evenly shaped but you need to brighten them and remove stains, a professional teeth whitening treatment may be your best option. Professional teeth whitening results are far superior to what you’d get from using a boxed whitening product from the store. Store bought products are designed for use at home and are known to contain weaker ingredients that may not make much difference in your smile. Instead, opt for professional teething whitening in Kingston at LakeView Dental Arts and experience the difference that brighter, whiter teeth can make in your smile!
Dental Bonding
Perhaps you would like to enhance your smile, but porcelain veneers may take too long, or you just need a quick fix for one or two teeth. In that case, dental bonding may be recommended. This procedure uses a tooth-colored composite material that is bonded to your teeth. It can be formed and shaped to look natural and blend with your other teeth for a seamless smile. One of the biggest advantages to dental bonding is that it is an in-office procedure that doesn’t require a lab, so you can achieve your results in one visit.
Invisalign
Veneers and bonding do require permanently altering your tooth structure and do not change tooth alignment. Rather, they make your teeth appear straight. But if you’d like to actually change your tooth alignment but don’t want braces, ask Kingston Invisalign providers about clear aligner orthodontics. Invisalign treatment is ideal for teens and adults that want straight teeth and most treatment lasts between 12 to 18 months (although this can vary). You wear the aligners for 22 hours a day but can remove them when eating or brushing your teeth. Invisalign is an excellent option if you want straight teeth but don’t want to permanently alter your tooth structure with veneers or bonding.
