Are you considering dental procedures to help you improve your smile?
Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you. It’s also one of the main things you notice when you look in the mirror. If you consider your smile less-than-perfect, chances are it affects your self-confidence.
The good news is that if there are things about your smile you’d like to improve, there’s a strong likelihood there’s a dental procedure that can help you do it. Some things you can do to get a beautiful smile are cosmetic, while others offer cosmetic benefits and improve dental health.
What are some of the best dental procedures to consider if you’d like to make the most of your smile?
Professional Cleanings: The Foundation of Oral Health
Rarely do people think of professional dental cleanings when they think about changing their smile, but the truth is regular cleanings play a significant role in having a healthy and beautiful smile. Skip a few dental cleanings, and it won’t be long until your smile begins to fade.
Dental cleanings help prevent cavities and clean your teeth of the buildup that regular brushing and flossing cannot remove. They also include polishing your teeth, keeping them stain-free and looking uniform. Dental cleanings are also essential to maintaining good dental health because it’s an opportunity for a professional to examine you and determine if there are any serious issues for which you should be concerned.
Although dental cleanings don’t drastically alter your smile, they help preserve your current dental health and build a strong foundation when considering other dental procedures.
Teeth Whitening: Brighten Your Smile with Confidence
One of the most common dental treatments people undergo to improve their smile is teeth whitening.
Whitening treatments are a convenient, non-invasive way to remove stains caused by coffee, wine, smoking, and everyday wear.
Both in-office and at-home whitening treatments are available. While both offer some benefits, professional whitening delivers faster, more noticeable results than over-the-counter options, giving you a brighter smile with minimal effort.
Dental Veneers: An Effective Fix for Cosmetic & Functional Flaws
Dental porcelain veneers are one of the fastest ways to correct noticeable flaws in your smile. In many cases, veneers repair cracks or breaks but can also offer overall improvement when you’re generally unhappy with your smile.
Made from thin porcelain, veneers are custom-shaped to fit your teeth and blend naturally with your smile. Veneers are durable, stain-resistant, and designed to last many years.
Invisalign and Braces: Straightening Teeth for Long-Term Health
Invisalign and braces are the go-to choices for people who want to straighten their smiles. Both offer similar results. They take problems with alignment and crooked or uneven teeth and gradually shift them into better positions, improving appearance, bite function, and overall oral health.
Braces, which have long been the traditional method and a rite of passage during adolescence for many people, use wires and metal brackets to shift teeth. Invisalign, a newer straightening method by comparison, also shifts teeth. However, the correction is done using a series of plastic trays that can be removed throughout the day to eat or perform your dental hygiene routine.
Dental Bonding: A Simple Way to Perfect Your Smile
Dental bonding is one of the most impactful things you can do to improve your smile.
It involves applying a tooth-coloured resin to fix chips, close small gaps, or reshape uneven teeth. The procedure is quick, often completed in just one visit, and requires minimal enamel removal. Bonding is an affordable, low-commitment option for achieving subtle but noticeable improvements.
