Up to 20% of Americans avoid
visiting the dentist because of anxiety or fear, often because they’re
embarrassed about their teeth.
Having great teeth is not only
better for your health but it gives you confidence and a better quality of
life. Perhaps you’re eager to undergo a dental transformation but you’re not
sure which procedure is the best for you.
If that sounds familiar, you’ve come
to the right place. Here are five options to consider.
1.
Porcelain Veneers
A surefire way to improve your smile is getting porcelain veneers. These
natural-looking veneers are installed over the affected tooth so you have a new
outer layer. This is useful if you’ve got gaps, discolored teeth, or if a
tooth’s enamel has worn down.
You can also consider composite
veneers as they’re less expensive, easy to repair, and the dentist can apply
several in a single visit.
2.
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic dentistry like bonding is
another fantastic option. Dentists recommend this to patients who need minor
corrections like concealing chips or cracks. The dentist applies a resin to the
tooth without removing the tooth’s enamel so it looks natural. A bonus is it’s
often completed in a single visit.
3.
Dental Implants
Nearly 69% of American adults between 35 to 44 years old have
lost at least one tooth. By the age of 50, this rises to 12.
Dentists often fix missing teeth by
installing dentures, a natural-looking, and stronger solution. This is because
dental implants preserve bone so you don’t have to change your diet. If you’ve
got a gap between two teeth then get dental bridges so you can enjoy a winning
smile.
4.
Teeth Whitening
The secret to most people’s smile
renewal is teeth whitening. It’s possible to schedule a whitening procedure
with your dentist and they’ll either do this for you in-office or give you a
kit to do at home. To speed up the process, patients should avoid food or drink
that stain your teeth like coffee, red wine, and berries.
5.
Invisalign or Braces
Desperate for a smile makeover? Then
get traditional braces or Invisalign to fix your teeth.
Many people have crowded or crooked
teeth but orthodontic treatment can fix this. Traditional braces are useful
because they’re affordable, give you quick results, and impossible to lose. Or,
if that doesn't sound appealing, then consider Invisalign as they’re invisible,
convenient, and easy to clean so fewer dentist visits.
Those
Are Your Dental Transformation Options
Now you know five ways you can
undergo a dental transformation.
Having straight teeth will make you
more confident so consider your dental needs. If you have a crooked smile,
consider traditional braces or Invisalign whereas implants are advised when you
have missing teeth.
Make sure you schedule an
appointment with your dentist and they'll advise you on the best treatment
option. Good luck!
