The new year is quickly approaching, and if you’re like most people, you are eager for 2021 to arrive. While your New Year’s Resolutions may include losing some unwanted pounds or looking for the perfect job, you might also consider how a new and improved smile can help you feel more confident and capable of the opportunities that lie ahead this year. Read on to learn how a dentist in Lacey can address your cosmetic smile imperfections and help you feel better prepared for whatever comes your way in 2021.
Straighten Your Teeth with ClearCorrect
If a straighter, more perfectly aligned smile is what you desire, consider how ClearCorrect aligners can help. Whether it is overcrowding, spaces between teeth, or a poorly aligned bite, these clear trays can apply gentle and consistent pressure to your teeth, moving them in the right direction and creating a healthier, more beautiful smile. You’ll be expected to wear your aligners for at least 22 hours each day before advancing to the next set in the series after two weeks. Once you are finished with treatment, you will notice a dramatic difference in the aesthetics of your smile, helping you to feel more confident than ever before.
Fully Transform Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers
No matter if it is chips, cracks, stains, or minor gaps between your teeth, porcelain veneers are a tried-and-true method of cosmetic treatment that can completely transform your appearance. Using custom-made, ultra-thin sheath coverings, your cosmetic dentist in Lacey can effectively cover your imperfections by removing a small bit of enamel from the surface of each tooth and placing each veneer to create a seamless, natural appearance.
Replace Missing Teeth with Dental Implants
Dental implants are considered to be the superior option for tooth replacement and are designed to provide you with improved bite force, oral health, and a longer-lasting smile. Because changes to the facial shape can occur if teeth are not replaced in a timely manner, your dentist can provide start-to-finish treatment that will restore your smile and give you the confidence you deserve. Unlike other tooth replacement solutions (i.e., fixed bridge, full or partial dentures), you’ll never need to worry about using messy dental adhesive to hold them in place or have them replaced every few years. Instead, your implant posts can remain firmly in place for decades or even a lifetime with proper maintenance.
Give Your Smile a Boost with Teeth Whitening
When stains and discoloration are too deep for traditional brushing to remove, it’s time to consider a professional at-home teeth whitening kit. These unique systems are designed to brighten your teeth by several shades, all while remaining in the comfort of your own home. Instead of wasting money on store-bought solutions, your dentist can provide you with customized trays based on impressions taken of your teeth. You will be supplied with your trays as well as a professional-grade whitening gel that blasts away stains and reduces the risk of tooth sensitivity. After a few weeks of treatment, you will notice a clear improvement in the look of your smile.
You may also find that all-ceramic metal restorations and cosmetic bonding are both great solutions for enhancing your smile’s aesthetic for the new year. During your initial consultation, your dentist will provide available recommendations, each offering a unique way to give you and your smile the necessary boost to fully embrace a new year and a new you!
