Schedule A Dental Visit
If you haven’t seen your dentist in a while and have fallen a bit behind with your checkups, then now is the time to get back on schedule. You need regular checkups so your oral health can be closely monitored. It is also so any possible problems can be treated sooner rather than later when treatment is quicker, more cost-effective and less invasive. A healthy smile is the foundation of a beautiful smile.
Many dentists offer cosmetic dentistry consultations. This is where they will examine you and can chat to you about possible options, based on your dental needs and goals for your new smile.
Some Treatments To Consider
There are lots of exciting treatments to consider. This includes teeth whitening, dental bonding and re-contouring, dental veneers, crowns and bridges, as well as more sophisticated treatments such as orthodontics or dental implants. However, every smile begins with a beautifully clean mouth which is why a hygiene appointment is essential.
A hygienist will professionally clean your teeth, carefully scaling them to remove all tartar before giving them a polish. If you are short of time or already have great teeth, this might be all you need and will certainly give your smile a sparkle. If not, the next treatments to consider are teeth whitening and dental bonding and re-contouring.
Teeth Whitening
You might already whiten your teeth, but do you have them professionally whitened? If not then you are in for a nice surprise. A professional teeth whitening treatment is much more effective because your dentist can use professional strength whitening products. Also, they will ensure it is safe, so if you have ever heard of people suffering from tooth pain and sensitivity after home whitening then you need not worry.
Your dentist will not provide this treatment unless it is appropriate for you and it will be carefully customized to help eliminate all unpleasant side-effects.
