Being embarrassed by your smile can keep you from getting the most out of social situations and meeting new people. When you’re worried about what other people think of your teeth, it can make you want to avoid interactions altogether. Luckily, your cosmetic dentist in Bend has three cosmetic dentistry solutions that can make your grin a trait you’re proud to show off. Read on to learn how you can invest in a bright and happy smile for years to come.  

Invisalign

If you feel you missed your chance at a straighter smile, you haven’t! Traditional braces can be cumbersome and distract from your professional appearance. Invisalign is a modern orthodontic solution that is practically unnoticeable. It uses a series of durable clear plastic aligners custom-fitted to gently shift your teeth into their ideal positions.

Because your aligners are removable, you’re able to keep up with your oral hygiene without the hassle of navigating between brackets and wires. You can also enjoy all of your favorite snacks and drinks! The biggest benefit that this treatment has to offer is that it typically only takes 12 months to complete, as opposed to up to two years for traditional braces.

Professional Teeth Whitening

Taking a gamble on over-the-counter teeth whitening kits can be frustrating and sometimes a waste of money. For a professional solution with practically guaranteed fast results, look towards teeth whitening provided by your dentist in Bend. Unfortunately, discolored teeth are an unavoidable problem that comes with aging, taking certain medications, and consuming stain-causing foods and drinks, but you can still have a bright smile with this procedure!

Your skilled dentist will provide you with a kit containing a professional-grade whitening gel that penetrates your enamel and makes them up to 8 shades whiter. The kit also includes custom-created whitening trays that cover the entire surface area of your teeth. You only have to wear the trays for 30 to 60 each day until you get your desired smile. In less than two weeks, you’ll notice fantastic results!

Porcelain Veneers

If you have multiple cosmetic imperfections you’d like to fix, porcelain veneers can practically do it all! They’re custom-fitted shells that fit over the visible portion of your teeth to conceal gaps, cracks, discoloration, and misalignment. They’re durable and stain resistant, so you can enjoy a bright and seamless smile for years to come when they’re properly cared for. Typically, this procedure takes place over a few visits to your dentist, but patients agree that it’s well worth it!

An investment in a bright and great-looking smile is the best one you could make! The first step to getting the grin of your dreams is to schedule a consultation with your cosmetic dentist to learn what benefits each procedure has to offer you. You’ll be beaming from ear-to-ear on your way out of their office!
