No one will ever go wrong prioritizing the health and appearance of their teeth. If getting a perfect smile in the new year is your resolution, you can achieve smile makeover goals that fit your vision and budget with help from your Louisville cosmetic dentistry practice. There are plenty of ways to reach smile perfection and every one of them is a step toward a healthier, happier, better-looking you.
Clean
One of the biggest changes many people need when it comes to their smile is cleaner, healthier teeth and gums. There are many problems that occur in the mouth without proper care and dental visits. Eventually, wear and tear take its toll and the consequences appear.
An early problem is gingivitis when gums become swollen, red, and sensitive. This first stage of gum disease can lead to far bigger problems if not addressed. Intense deep teeth cleaning treatments reestablish a strong, healthy dental foundation so your mouth is clean, healthy, and ready for cosmetic or restorative dentistry if that’s part of your perfect smile plan.
Straighten
Many people believe their biggest obstacle to a perfect smile is crooked, gapped, or misaligned teeth. However, these adults don’t want orthodontics that make them look like an adolescent. Invisalign treatment is an understated way to align imperfect teeth and finally achieve that perfect smile.
Though the time and energy invested in this effort is significant – the average Invisalign case takes a year or longer – the results are permanent (as long as you wear a retainer after treatment is complete). You will feel, however, that you are making an enormous dent in your resolution by working daily on your teeth. There will be noticeable change a few weeks after aligner wear begins.
Perfect
If you are embarrassed by your teeth or their characteristics – stains, chips, small size, discoloration, gaps, or otherwise – microthin veneers are customized to create a perfect smile in all ways. This cosmetic dentistry procedure is appealing to many people who may have considered veneers at one time but were disinterested in the invasiveness of the procedure.
The microthin veneers process involves minimal prep, fewer materials, faster work, and it’s reversible (not that anyone wants to change their smile after it’s been so dramatically upgraded). Teeth are white, straight, beautiful, and look natural.
Protect
If you grind your teeth, a night guard is essential, especially after you’ve gone to the trouble of perfecting your teeth with veneers, crowns, Invisalign, and more. Getting a customized night guard is the smart choice instead of attempting to make an over-the-counter option work. Your Louisville dentist knows what your teeth are like, what’s happening with your teeth, and the kind of coverage you need to keep your smile healthy and protected from itself.
