Now that we’re finally in spring, it’s time to give your smile a refresh. If you’ve been staying on top of your oral hygiene routine, your smile might already be in good standing. However, even with a great brushing and flossing routine, you may still have some discoloration or blemishes you would like to take care of. The team at East Cooper Dental in Charleston, SC offers cosmetic treatments that may brighten your teeth and boost your confidence. In our blog today, we’re here to discuss a few options we have for you.
A Professional Way To Brighten Your Teeth
One of the most common issues patients encounter with their smile’s appearance is the presence of stains on their teeth. These stains can happen due to daily consumption of coffee and tea, smoking, or other reasons. We can help you remove these extrinsic stains with a rapid in-office treatment or send you home with a custom kit to use at home. The bleaching agent will help rapidly break down the discoloration and leave you with a whiter smile, which can help you appear more confident, youthful, and healthy. Our whitening kits are also custom-made for you and safer than generic store-bought products.
Cover Stains With Bonding Or Veneers
When a professional whitening treatment does not work, you need to find a way to disguise the stains and blemishes. Thankfully, we have a few options that may help you. One option is cosmetic bonding, a conservative approach using composite resin to cover imperfections. One appointment is required for this method, which boasts a long-lasting lifespan. Veneers are another excellent option, though this method can be more invasive. For this, we use custom-made porcelain shells to cover the front of your natural tooth. Veneers can help your smile appear more even and symmetrical.
Solutions For Missing Teeth
In some cases, your main concern is that you have one or several teeth missing throughout your smile. Regardless of the cause for your tooth loss, you need to have your pearly whites replaced as soon as possible so the gap in your smile does not affect your confidence or oral health. Depending on the severity of tooth loss, we may be able to help restore your smile with options like a dental implant, bridge, or other options. Dental implants use a titanium post that fuses with your jawbone to create long-term support. Find out if you are a suitable candidate for this method by talking to our team.
