Summer is gradually drawing to a close. Graduations have already happened, fewer weddings and honeymoons are happening, and outdoor events like barbecues are becoming few and far between. However, that doesn’t mean it’s too late to get a great smile for the summer. Whether you want your teeth whitened, straightened, or simply cleaned, your cosmetic dentist in Texarkana offers all the services you need to get the gorgeous summer smile you deserve.
Why Is Summer a Great Time to Get a Beautiful Smile?
While any time of the year is great for cosmetic dental procedures, summer is the best. Many people have more time off in the summer, giving you more time to adjust to procedures such as teeth whitening and orthodontic work. Summer is also the time for outdoor events, and you know people are going to have their phones and cameras out to snap pics! You want to look your best in these pictures so you can look back fondly on these events.
What Cosmetic Procedures Can You Get?
Your cosmetic dentist in Texarkana offers 4 different ways to improve your smile this summer:
1. Teeth Whitening
Teeth can yellow as we get older, but your dentist offers whitening treatment to help turn back the clock. With either take-home or in-office whitening gel, your teeth will appear up to 8 shades brighter to help you look amazing in your photos this summer.
2. Cosmetic Bonding
If you have unsightly chips or cavities in your teeth, it can really hinder your self-confidence. Bonding is a great way to repair those flaws. Your dentist will use composite resin to sculpt the tooth into the exact shape and color you want, then harden the material with a special light. After just one appointment, your smile will look leaps and bounds better.
3. Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin sheaths of dental porcelain that are placed over the front surfaces of your teeth. They can conceal many different flaws, like chips, cracks, gaps, stains, and even slightly crooked teeth. In just a couple of appointments, you will have a smile that makes you look like a movie star.
4. Six Month Smiles
Six Month Smiles are a type of clear or tooth-colored braces that straighten only the teeth that are visible when you smile. They are less awkward and noticeable than traditional braces. If you have minor orthodontic issues, schedule a consultation with your dentist to see if Six Month Smiles is right for you.
No matter what cosmetic flaws you have in your smile, your dentist will be able to develop a treatment plan for you this summer. That way, you’ll look your best not only for the events you’ve got going on, but your smile will shine in pictures forever.
