Just like your car, your smile needs a regular tune up. Tooth color can darken through the years, and teeth can sometimes suffer a chip or develop spaces. There are simple cosmetic dentistry options that can ‘tune up’ your smile and give you a more youthful and healthy appearance.
Clear aligners are easy to use and can realign your teeth back to their original position, in some cases
in just four to six months. Dental office whitening removes coffee and tea stains and can lighten discolorations from smoking, making older teeth look young again. Cosmetic bonding is a fast and easy way to repair chipped or discolored teeth. They can also be used to replace old silver fillings or build up lost tooth structure and provide teeth with a natural appearance. Veneers can add shine, cover chips, and contour your teeth.
The American Dental Association (ADA) published a report called “The Future of Dentistry,” which noted that the oral health of Americans has improved dramatically over the past 10 years. Advances in dentistry allow easier access to a wide variety of painless treatments. The report stated that there is a rising trend toward whiter, straighter, cleaner smiles. The Beach View Dental team can help you achieve the smile you have always wanted!
