Every new season of the year is an excellent time for personal change. Fall is especially ideal for initiating a shift in your appearance because this is when the world around you is going through a transformation – no better time for you to do the same. A smile makeover can be large or small and make a major impact that lasts through this season and the dozens and dozens to follow.
Make a Speedy Change
If you want to make a quick and impressive change to your appearance, there are plenty of cosmetic dentistry treatments that fit the bill, but the following two often come out on top.
- Professional teeth whitening can brighten your smile in about an hour. Teeth turn multiple shades whiter with an in-office treatment. If you have more patience and are interested in serious deep bleaching from KöR, customized take-home whitening trays deliver a transformation in about two weeks.
- Tooth-colored composite fillings offer far greater benefits beyond just filling cavities. If you have a damaged tooth or unsightly quirk – a chip, crack, gap, or otherwise – the filling can make that space go away and give you a flawless smile.
Get a Major Smile Makeover
Making a major change to your smile takes major guts, even if you know you need the upgrade, even if you are ready to do it. It’s natural to be both nervous and excited to reframe the focal point of your face, but the results are worth the effort. Two of the most effective cosmetic dentistry treatments are:
- Porcelain veneers: If you want a true celebrity smile, porcelain veneers are how you get there. This proven cosmetic dentistry procedure is life-altering, giving people the smile they’ve always wanted, eliminating every surface imperfection, concealing gaps, stains, chips, cracks, misalignment, and so much more. They are personalized in size, shape, color, and length to look like natural teeth and they are stain-resistant.
- Lumineers: If you want the effectiveness of porcelain veneers without the invasiveness of that procedure, there are Lumineers. This treatment requires far less prep, without drilling, injections, or the removal of natural tooth enamel. The porcelain shields are super-thin, customized to fit your smile, and bonded in place for an instantaneous and long-term smile makeover.
Be Patient and Get Results
The back-to-school season can have you feeling nostalgic for the time when you were in school, even if you’re a working adult or now parenting your own children. One thing that goes hand-in-hand with school is braces, because this rite of passage is associated with adolescents. But adults have embraced straight teeth and the modern methods used to get them, particularly Invisalign.
Investing in this orthodontic alternative is the route to a straight, beautiful, healthy smile. You just need a little patience to make it happen. Invisalign takes about a year to complete, on average, but every patient is different. If you’re ready to start something new this fall, choose Invisalign for your smile makeover.
