If you&#8217;re one of the millions of people who are going home for the holidays this year, why not put your best foot forward by enhancing your smile? On top of being able to show off your new smile at holiday\u00a0gatherings, you\u2019ll also go into the new year with a brand new sense of self-confidence. If you&#8217;re ready to take the first step, keep reading below about the procedures a cosmetic dentist in Superior can use to transform your smile!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Tooth-Colored Fillings<\/h2>\n<p>At one time, metal fillings were the only option dentists had to repair cavities. Fortunately, those days are over. Now, we can place tooth-colored fillings that blend in beautifully with your natural tooth structure, so no one will be able to tell that you had dental work.<\/p>\n<h2>Whitening<\/h2>\n<p>Whitening is incredibly popular because it provides big results for a relatively small investment of time and money. And since the strength of over-the-counter products is limited by the FDA, you\u2019ll get the best results, safely and reliably, with a professional treatment.<\/p>\n<p>After having custom-made trays made by a dentist in Superior, you\u2019ll fill them with a professional-strength whitening gel and wear them at home for a specified amount of time each day (or night, depending on which option you choose). Most people get their final results in about 10-14 days.<\/p>\n<h2>Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n<p>These thin, strong \u201cshells\u201d are adhered to the front of the teeth to give them a brand new appearance. This one cosmetic procedure can practically do it all and is perfect for any of the following flaws:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chips<\/li>\n<li>Gaps<\/li>\n<li>Severe staining that doesn\u2019t respond to whitening treatments<\/li>\n<li>Minor crowding<\/li>\n<li>Small or oddly shaped teeth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Cosmetic Bonding<\/h2>\n<p>Cosmetic bonding involves using white filling material (the same material used for white fillings done on back teeth) to repair small imperfections on the front teeth. It\u2019s great for small chips, cracks, cavities and discolorations.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to find out which of these procedures is best for you is to schedule a consultation with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">cosmetic dentist<\/a>. In some cases, they may simply recommend a whitening treatment, while more than one procedure may work better in others. Either way, you can bet that you&#8217;ll look great this holiday season!<\/p>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Dr. Doug Clark<\/a> has over three decades of experience as a general and cosmetic dentist in Superior.
