Everybody Can Have a Gorgeous Smile
With the new advances in today's dentistry, having a beautiful and healthy smile is always possible. Now-a-days, dental practitioners are fortunate to be able to offer many different alternatives.
Invisalign
Also known as “invisible braces,” this is a great alternative to traditional orthodontia to align teeth and to obtain a nice arch, healthier gums and a better smile while providing a comfortable and cosmetic treatment. This is a great choice for patients that have moderate crowding, openings in between the teeth (diastemas), and gingivitis related to malposition of teeth.
Teeth Whitening
There are two options to whiten your teeth take home bleaching or in office bleaching (Zoom). Both techniques are very effective, comfortable, and conservative and provide dramatic results. There are no side effects besides some temporary sensitivity that can always be taken care of by applying topical fluoride.
Patients with porcelain or resin restorations need to know that they don't change color with bleaching and they might need to replace those crowns or fillings after a whitening treatment.
Veneers
They are the perfect alternative to get the “Hollywood smile.” Veneers are a very conservative way to get the teeth you have dreamed about. With veneers, you can align teeth, close spaces, and get rid of those large stained fillings and teeth that are fragile, fractured or worn by severe grinding.
If you are thinking about getting a new and beautiful smile, always consult with your dentist about the best options for your case. Don't wait any longer to get the gorgeous smile that you deserve.
