A smile makeover is essential to transform your overall facial appearance. Whether you wish for a minor correction or a complete transformation, the options highlighted below are available and practical, especially if you are a busy, working adult.
Popular smile makeover options
Dental bridges
Dental bridges are prosthetic devices that are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They can also be used to improve the appearance of teeth. There are multiple types of dental bridges, and some can be placed in one day making them the perfect smile makeover option for a busy adult.
Porcelain-colored fillings
Porcelain fillings are delivered to fill cavities in the teeth. They are healthy and blend seamlessly with the remaining teeth to give your smile a pleasant luster. Never opt for mercury fillings, due to the undesirable side effects. The consequences of mercury often occur later in life when it starts leaking into the body. Porcelain is a healthier alternative.
Teeth whitening
Years of using the teeth cause stains and discoloration to build up on the teeth’s surface. If you are a busy person and want to get rid of all those stains, you can buy over-the-counter teeth whitening or go to the dentist for in-office whitening. In-office whitening is faster and a safer alternative. If you have the money to spare, you can consider laser whitening.
Fillings and Botox
If your smile sags and several wrinkles are present around your mouth, you can opt for fillings and Botox to change your appearance. This will reduce the number of fine lines on your face. If you have a busy routine and are always on the move, consult your dentist about your aging concerns, and they will be able to guide you appropriately.
Teeth straightening or orthodontics
Another option for a smile makeover is teeth straightening. If your teeth are crooked and you want to correct that, you can opt for orthodontic treatment, like braces or Invisalign. You will be required to wear them all day and night. For Invisalign and other removable aligners, you can take them off when you want to eat or clean them. You will need to return to the dentist every few weeks to get new trays as the teeth move into place. If you are busy during the week, you should find a dentist that offers appointments during weekends.
Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers are a fast way to correct impairments on the teeth. This is one of the most popular smile makeover options and can be used to transform the shape, color, length and the appearance of the teeth.
When you visit the office for a consultation, the dentist will shave down the enamel and proceed to make an impression to create the veneers. Once the veneers are ready, you will have to go for a second appointment to have the porcelain placed on the teeth.
In conclusion
Your busy schedule should not hinder you from enjoying the benefits of a smile makeover. Contact the dental office for a consultation to discuss appropriate options for your smile.
