\"SmilingWhat\u2019s the most memorable part of any great first impression? According to nearly half of Americans, the answer is \u201ca great smile.\u201d Plenty of people would love to improve their pearly whites, but what\u2019s the best way to do it? Different patients will need different kinds of cosmetic treatment; if you\u2019re thinking of getting a smile makeover<\/a>, here are 4 ways to make it happen!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n

Over the years, you might notice that your teeth just aren\u2019t as white as they used to be, whether it\u2019s a simple matter of age or the result of drinking coffee every morning. While there are over-the-counter products that can help brighten your pearly whites, a professional treatment will work faster and help fix more severe cases of discoloration. You can have a whitening procedure done at the practice; it\u2019s a good way to create dramatic results within an hour! If you\u2019d rather fix the problem in the comfort in your own home and don\u2019t mind waiting a couple of weeks to see improvements, you can get a professional take-home whitening kit instead.<\/p>\n

2. Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n

Are there a lot of cosmetic flaws in your mouth that you wish you could fix all at once? Porcelain veneers \u2013 wafer-thin covers placed over the front of your tooth \u2013 can be used to correct all kinds of imperfections, including chips, cracks, broken or misshapen teeth, misalignment, notable spaces, and discoloration that doesn\u2019t respond to traditional whitening. As a bonus, porcelain is stain-resistant, and the restoration can last for up to 15 years if you take good care of it.<\/p>\n

3. Gum Recontouring<\/h2>\n

Do you see just a bit too much gum whenever you open your mouth? Do your teeth look way shorter than they should? Your dentist can use a laser to gently remove excess gum tissue, revealing more of your ivories and creating a more well-proportioned grin. Sometimes this procedure is needed to place a dental crown, in which case it\u2019s usually called crown lengthening.<\/p>\n

4. Full-Mouth Dental Reconstruction<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve suffered from years of gum disease, tooth decay and facial injuries, you might think your teeth are too damaged to repair, but that doesn\u2019t have to be the case! By using different kinds of restorations (such as dental implants, fillings, dentures, crowns and bridges) and performing necessary oral surgery, your dentist can make a brand-new smile for you that\u2019s as healthy as it is beautiful.<\/p>\n

Before you decide on any kind of cosmetic procedure, you should schedule a consultation at a dental practice you trust. Be sure to tell your dentist in Canton what kind of improvements you want to make and set realistic expectations for yourself. Take the initiative and get started on creating the smile of your dreams!<\/p>\n
