When Grins Aren’t Great: How Can I Fix My Smile?

Now that summer is here, you likely want to spruce up your grin. It’s only natural – pretty and strong teeth and gums will help you enjoy the season! With that said, you may have a worrying question: “Just how can I fix my smile?” There’s no need to puzzle over it; your Colleyville dentist can provide great answers for you. To that end, here are some ways to improve your smile this summer.

Try Cosmetic Treatments

If you want a gorgeous grin, you should visit your local cosmetic dentist. They can transform your smile with treatments like:

Teeth Whitening

Per its name, teeth whitening is a service that brightens your enamel. It works by applying bleaching gel to your smile, removing stains from meals and outside sources in the process. As such, the procedure should leave you with a grin that’s six to eight shades whiter.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are small, tooth-sized shells placed on the fronts of teeth. Once set, they can hide a wide range of smile flaws – tooth discoloration, chips, cracks, etc. Their porcelain material also ensures that they blend seamlessly with nearby teeth.

Repair or Replace Teeth

Beyond purely cosmetic services, you can also make your smile look (and feel) better with restorative care. Examples of such care include:

Dental Crowns

A modern dental crown is a small, enamel-colored cap placed over a weak tooth. While its main role is to restore the damaged area’s strength, it can also improve the look of your smile. The cap’s materials would enhance your tooth’s appearance, even as it bolsters strength.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are simply small posts that replace missing teeth. When placed in your jaw’s empty sockets, they fuse with nearby tissue and become permanent parts of your mouth. That means an implant won’t slip, fall, or become unstable like other tooth replacements can.

Change Up Your Lifestyle

Often enough, you can “fix” your grin by adopting a healthier lifestyle. You’d just need to use the following tips and tricks:

• Practice Good Oral Hygiene – To avoid dark cavities and inflamed gums, remember to brush twice daily and floss once daily.
• Quit Bad Oral Habits – Smoking tobacco stains your teeth, so give up that practice as soon as possible. Similarly, quit biting hard objects to prevent chips and cracks in your grin.
• See Your Dentist Often – For a healthy and thriving smile, schedule checkups with your dentist at least twice a year. These visits prevent flaws from occurring in your smile, and the attending dentist can suggest ways to beautify your grin.

Consult your dental provider for more ways to fix your smile. With their help, you’ll spend this summer with amazing teeth!
