Are you hesitant to take pictures because you’re ashamed of the way your teeth look? Have you been feeling that having a Perfect Smile is beyond your grasp? If either of these scenarios applies to you, then it’s time to do something about it. Your dentist in Orlando says you now have a chance to enjoy the confidence that comes with having a perfect smile. As you continue reading, he’ll explain the many ways that this can become your reality!
WHY DOES YOUR SMILE MATTER?
The image that stares back at you in the mirror impacts your opinion of yourself, and studies show that it also has an effect on the people you encounter, as one-third of them will notice the condition of your teeth before anything else. Thus, the quality of your smile could make the difference between a positive and negative first impression.
With all of this understanding, you may still be wondering how you can finally experience the feeling of having perfect-looking teeth.
WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR SMILE
Thankfully, there are several ways to improve your smile with cosmetic dentistry in Orlando. Along with your dentist, you will be able to assess the current condition of your smile and determine which method will yield the best results.
TEETH WHITENING
When you flash your ivories, you want to be sure that they gleam brilliantly. Using the Zoom! Whitening method, your dentist will be able to brighten them by as many as 10 shades, leaving you beaming with confidence!
PORCELAIN VENEERS
If you have minor gaps, crookedness, chips, or stains within the smile zone of your teeth, porcelain veneers offer a quick and simple way to improve your look. The application of the thin shells usually requires a two-visit process.
It begins with your dentist removing a thin layer of your enamel, capturing images of your smile line, and taking bite impressions. Then, he’ll affix temporary veneers while your permanent set is being fabricated by an in-network laboratory.
When your new veneers are ready, you’ll return to your dentist’s office to have them placed, leaving with a perfect smile.
LUMINEERS
While the porcelain veneer method requires that permanent changes be made to your teeth, the Lumineers option allows you to enjoy similar benefits while maintaining your enamel. They are applied in a two-step process, leaving you with a perfected smile, but if you change your mind in the future, you will have the option of removing them.
ALL-PORCELAIN CROWNS AND BRIDGES
All-porcelain crowns and bridges share the unique advantage of providing both functional and aesthetic improvements. While crowns are used to replace a single tooth or cover damaged ivory, the bridge can replace consecutively missing teeth, leaving you with a fully restored and beautiful smile line.
Whatever your cosmetic desires are, your local dentist can guide you to smile perfection. The process starts with you simply reaching out to schedule an initial consultation today!
