Busy schedules packed with work, school, family, and social commitments can leave little time for relaxation throughout the year. That’s why going on summer vacation is so crucial—it offers a well-deserved break to unwind and recharge. All the photo ops that vacation offers also means you’ll want to make sure your smile is looking its best. Whether you’re planning a trip or enjoying a staycation, consider these five cosmetic dental treatments to rejuvenate your smile and enhance your summer experience.
Treatment #1: Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are custom-made shells affixed to the front surfaces of your teeth to correct cosmetic imperfections such as gaps, discoloration, chips, and minor misalignment. Crafted from durable porcelain, they mimic the appearance of natural teeth and seamlessly blend with your existing smile.
Treatment #2: Metal-free restorations
Dental crowns and fillings are essential for restoring teeth damaged by decay. While metal was once the standard material for these restorations, modern dentistry now provides superior alternatives.
Metal-free restorations, crafted from durable and biocompatible materials, not only improve the aesthetics of your smile but also reduce the complications linked to metal restorations. These include the fact that a metal crown may not feel right in your mouth and may lead to the accumulation of mercury in the body.
Treatment #3: Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Cosmetic dental bonding is an affordable way to fix gaps, discoloration, and chips, much like porcelain veneers. However, the composite resin used in bonding is generally less durable than porcelain. A consultation with your dentist can help you determine which option aligns best with your budget and smile goals.
Treatment #4: Smile Makeover
Being unhappy with gaps or stains is one thing. But, if your smile doesn’t function properly, this can cause issues beyond aesthetics. Fortunately, smile makeovers can help. By combining restorative and cosmetic dentistry, our team can repair and enhance your teeth, giving you a smile you’ll be proud of.
Treatment #5: Invisalign
Summer is the perfect time to start Invisalign for several reasons. The relaxed pace allows for easier scheduling of consultations and follow-up appointments without school or work commitments.
Invisalign’s discreet aligners let you smile confidently at summer gatherings, trips, and in photos. The warm weather also encourages more fluid intake, which helps maintain oral hygiene with aligners. Starting Invisalign in the summer can set you on the path to a straighter smile by fall, making it a smart choice for your dental health.
