3 Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments to Try

If you’ve got flaws in your smile that you’d like to correct but aren’t ready to commit to a more involved or costly procedure, you may have been under the impression that there’s simply nothing you can do to improve the appearance of your teeth. But the good news is that couldn’t be farther from the truth! In fact, there are a variety of cosmetic dentistry treatments that are minimally invasive and relatively low cost, but that can still make a big impact on your smile. If you’re ready to make noticeable changes to your teeth, here are three cosmetic dentistry treatments that can help!

Dental Bonding

Do your teeth have chips or uneven edges that are taking away from your smile? While you may have thought that the only way to repair them was with dental implants, there’s actually another less-invasive way to get big results without a big procedure. Dental bonding is a great way to repair chipped or uneven edges. It uses the same composite resin material used in metal-free fillings to essentially rebuild the broken tooth. The color can be matched to the rest of your smile, and because it’s durable, your restorations are fully functional, too!

Professional, At-Home Teeth Whitening

Whitening your teeth at home with OTC products may seem like a great deal, until you realize that it takes forever to get noticeable results and by then you’ve spent more time and money than you would have if you’d just gone straight to your dentist. A professional at-home whitening kit can remove up to eight shades of discoloration in about two weeks, and with custom, reusable trays you can come back to your dentist for a touch-up refill any time you’d like.

Porcelain Veneers

Though they’re a bit more expensive, dental veneers can correct a variety of problems in one treatment. Veneers are thin porcelain shells that fit over your healthy teeth. They can not only change the size and shape of them, but they can also fix minor spacing issues and the color of your teeth, too. To get them, your dentist will need to remove a thin layer of enamel, but the entire process is very comfortable, and the results can last up to 20 years!

Remember, cosmetic dentistry can improve the appearance of your smile along with your oral health, but it doesn’t need to be invasive to be effective. If you’re ready to change the appearance of your teeth with the help of cosmetic dentistry, speak to your dentist about your smile goals today!
