It’s more apparent than ever that summer is upon us. Rising temperatures make many visit local beaches, while longer daylight hours mean more outdoor adventures. However, the most prominent sign is that people are getting their bodies summer-ready — including their smiles!
If you want to do the same, your cosmetic dentist in Florence can help. Here are three summer-themed dental treatments to help your teeth shine for great fun in the sun.
Lumineers
Also known as low-prep veneers, Lumineers ® are ultra-thin porcelain slips. They’re designed to fit perfectly over teeth, making them look whiter and straighter. They also hide cracked and chipped teeth, not to mention unwanted tooth gaps.
Traditional veneers remove a small part of tooth enamel as part of their placement process, which dentists can’t undo. Fortunately, Lumineers offer a less permanent smile transformation due to not changing your tooth structure. While not as long-lasting as traditional porcelain veneers, they are the more affordable and conservative choice.
Metal-Free Dental Crowns
You may already know that dental crowns are ‘caps’ placed on top of damaged teeth to hide unsightly tooth damage and prevent further harm. They’re ideal for protecting teeth from trauma while also restoring a given tooth to its former appearance.
Rather than get gaudy and noticeable gold or silver dental crowns, you should try one made from composite materials. An ideal example of the latter would be a porcelain one, which wouldn’t conduct temperatures or induce metal allergies. Better yet, they would blend naturally with the color of your enamel and look just like a real tooth. At the end of the day, you shouldn’t have to sacrifice your smile’s appearance just to repair it.
Ultradent Teeth Whitening
Whether for a special summer event or to ensure your vacation photos have white smiles, Ultradent professional teeth whitening is highly effective at removing teeth stains.
Depending on your schedule and preferences, a dentist can give you a take-home whitening kit to achieve results on your own time. On the other hand, in-office whitening could dramatically transform your smile in a single appointment.
Don’t let your summer go by with chipped, crooked, or yellowed teeth. Talk to your dentist about the treatments above (and more) to see if you’d benefit from a whiter smile this season.
