Now that it’s finally 2020, it’s a perfect time to start achieving those long-held goals you’ve been putting off. For a lot of people, that includes revitalizing their smiles to give them an appearance they can be proud of. If you’re self-conscious about some aspect of your teeth, the start of a brand-new decade is the perfect time to begin changing that. Odds are that your cosmetic dentist in Milwaukee has a treatment option that works for you. Keep reading to learn how your smile can benefit from a makeover in 2020.
Teeth Whitening
This is the most common cosmetic treatment, and for good reason. People with whiter teeth are often assumed to be healthier, more attractive, and more successful. If your teeth are discolored, you may have tried buying whitening kits from the drugstore, but they usually don’t quite produce the results you want. However, your dentist provides professional-grade take-home teeth whitening kits. These trays are customized to fit your unique bite, ensuring an even whitening process. The bleaching gel used is also several times stronger than what you can find in stores, guaranteeing a smile up to eight shades whiter after just two weeks of use.
ClearCorrect Aligners
Do you have crooked, gapped, or crowded teeth? Do you want to correct them without having to wear clunky metal braces? Well, now you can thanks to ClearCorrect. These translucent plastic aligners fit right over your teeth to discreetly shift them into a more aligned position, often in less time than traditional braces. Another advantage of ClearCorrect over braces is that when it’s time to eat, drink, or clean your teeth, you can simply take your aligners out. This means they won’t restrict your diet or ability to brush and floss.
Porcelain Crowns
Maybe you have a tooth with a cavity so large that a simple filling isn’t enough to restore it. That’s where dental crowns come in. They’re made of dental porcelain, a highly durable material that perfectly mimics natural tooth enamel, right down to the way it reflects light. Crowns are able to restore both the structure and appearance of a tooth, blending cosmetic and restorative dentistry.
Direct Bonding
Do you have minor chips, gaps, or stains on your teeth that bother you? You can say goodbye to them with direct bonding. During this quick and painless procedure, your dentist can apply a composite resin to your problem tooth to build it up to the perfect size, shape, and color. Multiple teeth can be addressed in one appointment with direct bonding, and you can expect your results to last up to a decade or even longer with proper care.
Let 2020 be the year you let your cosmetic dentist in Milwaukee help you achieve your dream smile. Contact your dentist and schedule a consultation today!
