Therefore, you can look and feel like a brand-new person.

Professional teeth whitening provides a safe and effective way to address stubborn discoloration that mere toothbrushing can\u2019t address. In many cases, patients are able to see their smile brightened by as much as eight shades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By having the procedure professionally done, you can avoid gum irritation and the fickle results that are often delivered by store-bought whitening kits. Better yet, you\u2019ll be able to see immediate results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2 \u2013 Esthetic Bonding and Contouring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have chips, stains or other imperfections left you feeling insecure about your smile? If so, you may consider esthetic bonding and contouring. One of the more cost-effective ways to improve your smile, it delivers same-day results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The procedure involves the dentist applying composite resin material that has been shaded to match perfectly with your other teeth. After hardening it with a special curing light, the dentist will contour and polish the area to leave you with a completely new look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3 \u2013 Porcelain Veneers or Lumineers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Custom crafted from the highest quality ceramics, porcelain veneers can completely revitalize your smile and leave you looking like a brand-new person. The procedure starts with the dentist removing a thin layer of tooth enamel and taking bite impressions that will be used to fabricate your permanent veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a second visit, you\u2019ll have the veneers cemented in place to leave you ready for the world. However, if you\u2019re looking for a smile improvement option that is a little less invasive, you may consider Lumineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to veneers, Lumineers fit directly to your front-facing teeth. However, they are thinner than veneers. Thus, no enamel removal is required before they\u2019re placed. Another perk is that the procedure isn\u2019t permanent. Later, if you decide that you want to take another cosmetic treatment route, you\u2019ll still have that option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Route Should You Take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Deciding which cosmetic dental procedure is best for your smile desires can sometimes be a little confusing. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to start by scheduling a consultation with a cosmetic dentist. This will allow you to have your smile assessed, get all the information you need, ask questions and make a confident decision. Therefore, you can spend the rest of your summer letting your gorgeous new smile shine as bright as the sun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Daniel Caraveo earned his dental degree from the Baylor College of Dentistry.
