New Year, Restored Smile, with Cosmetic Dentistry

We’ve all dabbled in New Year’s resolutions at least once. Perhaps you wanted to get in shape, up your water intake, or maybe cut down on your screen time. No matter what resolutions you made, they more than likely had one thing in common: the goal is to become a better person.

When it comes to self-improvement, we can nitpick our appearance all day long. If you are one of the many people who has something they’d like to change about their smile, you might be surprised to know that you are far from alone. In fact, it is thought that over half of Americans are insecure about their teeth. With something as important as our smile, it’s no surprise to know that it makes an impact on a person’s overall well-being and confidence.

But for those who want to improve their smile in the new year, we’ve got the solution for you. Though the name “cosmetic dentistry” makes it seem like it’s reserved for appearances alone, its benefits don’t stop there. Sure, it’ll make you feel more confident in your smile, but it can also improve your overall oral health.

Understanding Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry can address many different dental concerns, which means it can go a long way to transforming your health. It includes simpler treatments such as teeth whitening, but it also encompasses procedures such as veneers, bonding, and crowns.

If you have tooth discoloration due to age or lifestyle choices, cosmetic dentistry has you covered with teeth whitening. If you are bothered by a chip or crack, cosmetic dentistry can help. No matter the issue, you might be surprised to find what cosmetic dentistry can do for you. 

The Dual Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

The benefits of cosmetic dentistry don’t stop with the aesthetics of your smile. It makes sense that you are more likely to take care of something new. For example, if you get a new house, you’re more likely to want to mop those floors. If you get a new car, you’ll probably go to the car wash a bit more often than before. The same goes for our teeth. If you have freshly whitened teeth, you are more likely to watch what you eat and drink. With a gorgeous set of veneers, you might be more likely to visit your dentist to make sure everything stays in tip-top shape.

Teeth Whitening: Brightening Your Smile and Removing Stains

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular types of cosmetic dentistry. Our teeth gradually yellow as we age. And, as if that isn’t upsetting enough, what we eat and drink can speed up the process. Wine, coffee, and even curry are common culprits causing yellow teeth. Don’t panic—teeth whitening is here to save the day!

Sure, there are over-the-counter whitening options, but they aren’t as effective as in-office tooth whitening. Here at Davis Family Dental Care, we provide KöR teeth whitening. But you don’t have to spend your lunch hour in our office for it—we send it home with you. KöR whitening is done by placing a special gel into custom trays, and it can lighten your teeth by six shades in only three nights. 

Veneers and Bonding: Restoring Teeth and Strengthening Oral Integrity

Veneers and bonding are powerful tools to help restore your smile. If you have minor cracks in your teeth causing pain and sensitivity, either option can fix you right up. Dental bonding is made with a tooth-colored resin that is applied to the tooth, while veneers are made with a thin sheet of porcelain that is bonded to the tooth.

It’s important to discuss your options with your dentist as both treatments have their pros and cons and the right one for you will depend on your smile goals. That’s where the team at Davis Family Dental Care can help guide you in your choice.
