You are not thrilled with the state of your smile. Your teeth may be crooked, have gaps in between them, be chipped or discolored. It can have a noticeable effect on your mood, too. You are much more reluctant to smile and may seem more withdrawn. That’s where a smile makeover can greatly help.

Revitalize your smile with cosmetic dentistry in New York! Here are some things that you can do when you get a smile makeover done:

Straighten Crooked Teeth Teeth With An Invisalign Treatment

People like this option, which is where a series of clear aligners are made to shift your teeth, due to their being discreet as opposed to a mouthful of metal braces. They like the fact that they can have pictures taken without other people knowing that they are having orthodontic work done. They also like having a diet that is not restricted. The process is that you will have a mold made of your teeth and then your dentist will work with Invisalign. The result is a series of trays, or aligners, that you follow in order, replacing each one after two weeks or so.

You need to be sure to follow all the instructions with Invisalign, replacing each mouthpiece when you have to. If you miss one or lose one, the difference might not be noticeable at first but your progress will be halted before you know it. That can then necessitate taking a new mold, which is extra time. Also, you have to clean the tray after eating… and do not put it in a place where it can be easily lost.

Invisalign is a time investment – you need to wear it for 22 hours a day. While it does offer the advantage of being able to take it out to eat whatever you want, which is different from braces, it’s still something to keep in mind. Still, it is a very popular thing that is still gaining a sizable following each year.

Fill Gaps Between The Teeth With Dental Crowns, Implants, Bridges, Or Veneers

When it comes to gaps between your teeth, they can vary in size, from very small to a tooth-sized hole. Veneers, which go on the front of the tooth, can hide a small gap. Dental crowns can cover a tooth and also fill the gap. If the gap is due to your losing a tooth, then a dental implant is the best option, since it can act as the natural tooth once the procedure is done. A bridge can also fill the space with a crown anchoring it. Talk with your dentist about what your best option is.

Fix Chipped Teeth & Improve Your Smile With Dental Bonding

You can chip a tooth in both spectacular and mundane ways – like from a fall or an errant elbow during a basketball game to biting on a piece of food. There is an option called dental bonding, where the dentist puts a resin over the chipped tooth that matches the original color and then molds and shapes it to look like the original tooth. If you chipped the tooth near your root, then you might need anesthesia, otherwise it is painless.

This is usually completed fairly quickly and the results can be modified over time as the tooth dries. The only things you need to avoid doing is biting on hard foods, ice cubes, or pens. Those can wind up damaging the work done on your tooth. The resin can also stain easier than regular teeth so watch your coffee or red wine intake. If you do that, then people will be none the wiser that you had dental work done.

Get Rid Of Yellow Teeth With Professional Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is the best option for getting your teeth looking the best shade of white in the quickest way. Yes, there are other options, like whitening toothpaste and mouthwash and whitening strips. They are not as fast since they have a lower amount of hydrogen peroxide, which is the main ingredient in getting your teeth white. The gel that the dentists use has the largest concentration of that, which is why they get the best results.

You have a couple of options here – you can have it done in the office or your dentist can fill a series of mouthguards with the customized solution, which you then wear at home for a prescribed amount of time. When your teeth look the color that you want them to be, then you can stop.

This is far from a vanity project. Your smile is an important part of you – it’s the first thing that most people notice, and having great teeth can boost your confidence. This can make you feel more outgoing, which can then have an effect on both your personal and professional life. It’s a worthwhile investment.
