These days, having a beautiful smile not only gives you confidence, but it's also an integral factor in how you present yourself to the world. If you don't feel good about how your teeth look, you may be hiding your smile, sometimes without even realizing it.
The good news is that cosmetic dentistry in Colorado Springs can help you improve your smile, and it's probably less expensive and not as time-consuming as you think! Here are a few procedures that can significantly enhance your smile without depleting your wallet.
Cosmetic Bonding Repairs Small Cosmetic Concerns
If it's chipped or broken teeth you're living with, cosmetic bonding can help. In fact, this quick and non-invasive procedure can actually eliminate several tooth concerns like:
- Tooth size or shape discrepancies
- Gaps or spaces between teeth
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Slight misalignment issues
During your dental bonding procedure, your cosmetic dentist in Colorado Springs uses composite bonding material, which they also use to repair cavities for dental fillings. Your dentist applies the material to your tooth, and custom shades it to blend flawlessly. Then they will use a special light to cure the material and bond it to your teeth. Once it's polished, it provides a seamless match to your tooth and enhances your smile.
Dental bonding is less expensive than other cosmetic procedures, and your dentist can often complete your new look in only one visit.
Teeth Whitening to Brighten a Dull Smile
In some cases, a simple teeth whitening procedure can make a world of difference for your smile, especially if you have yellow or brown stains on your teeth. Better yet, you can typically complete this fast and effective treatment in the comfort of your own home with a take-home teeth whitening kit.
Your dentist creates custom plastic teeth whitening trays using impressions of your teeth. You'll take those home along with some high-strength teeth whitening gel and use them for about two weeks, or until you've achieved your desired results.
The best part is that you'll always have your custom trays when you'd like to brighten your smile in the future. All you'll need is some more whitening gel, which you can purchase at your Colorado Springs dental office.
