Many people treat themselves to a little something during the holidays. If the present you want more than anything else is a whiter smile, talk to a local dentist in Abilene, Texas about the variety of cosmetic procedures available to brighten your teeth. Some of the four services listed below are so fast that you can see results after just one treatment, application, or placement.
Professional Teeth Whitening
One of the quickest ways to get your tooth enamel a few shades whiter is by working with your dentist. Professional teeth whitening offers superior, predictable outcomes that over-the-counter whitening strip kits cannot guarantee. Plus, your dentist will be able to help you get a realistic understanding of exactly how white your teeth should be based on your dental history and the reason your teeth are discolored.
Tooth-Colored Porcelain Veneers
Are your upper front teeth just a little too crooked? Perhaps cracked or slightly gapped? You can get a perfect-looking smile in just two visits when you choose porcelain veneers as your smile enhancement strategy. Porcelain veneers reflect light exactly like natural teeth. Once bonded to your teeth, they give you a more even, straight-looking smile. With proper care, porcelain veneers can last for up to a decade before you will need to replace them.
Dental Crowns
Sometimes, a tooth may be healthy but not look good anymore. Covering it with a dental crown protects the tooth from future damage or decay. Additionally, your dentist may be able to make a customized crown in-house. You could literally come for your appointment and walk out with a repaired tooth, not to mention an uplifting smile.
Dental Implants
If you are missing one or more teeth, you could work with your dentist to see if you might be a candidate for dental implants. Dental implants and denture-supported implants can revitalize your smile and restore the health of your jawbone by reducing risks associated with progressive bone loss. As the only permanent solution to missing teeth, dental implants have become the gold standard in terms of tooth replacement.
