When you feel confident in your smile, it can have an overall positive impact on your life. You may have high self-esteem, seem friendlier to others, and leave a good first impressions on others. If you look at your pearly whites and do not feel absolutely self-assured, we can offer cosmetic treatments to give your grin a boost. In today’s blog, your team at Smith Family Dentistry in Greenville, TX, is here to talk about cosmetic treatments that can help you achieve your optimal smile.

Come In For An Initial Checkup

Before you can get started with any cosmetic services, you will first need to ensure that you are in good oral health. Your dentist will start off by carefully examining your teeth and gums to look for signs of cavities, gingivitis, and more. If there are any concerns with your oral health, restorations can be planned to refresh your oral health. For example, if you have a cavity, a dental filling should be completed first before moving on to a professional teeth whitening service.

A Way To Remove Discoloration

One major concern that many patients have with their smile’s appearance is discoloration on the surface of their teeth. This can happen naturally over time due to the foods and drinks we consume and other factors. When discoloration occurs on your enamel, it can typically be removed with a professional whitening treatment. Our in-office service can take as little as one hour to complete. The bleaching agent will help rapidly break down the discoloration and leave you with a brighter, more vibrant grin.

Disguise Stubborn Blemishes

In other cases, the stains on your teeth may happen below your enamel. When this happens, a whitening treatment unfortunately will not be able to target these concerns. Instead, options like bonding or veneers can be used to conceal the imperfections. Cosmetic bonding is a minimally invasive option that uses composite resin to disguise blemishes like discoloration, gaps, cracks, and more. Porcelain veneers require more extensive preparation than bonding but can help improve the symmetry and overall appearance of your smile.

In addition to correcting stains on your pearly whites, we can also help improve your smile’s alignment. Our clear aligners help shift your teeth into the correct position without the need for traditional braces. Clear aligners may be a preferred option by teenage and adult patients because they are more discreet and comfortable. To find out if you are a good candidate for this treatment option, talk to your dentist today.
