How many times have you embarked on a New Year’s resolution only to fall short of your goal? If improving your appearance is what you want to achieve, a smile makeover is a sure way to make a major impact on your look. This year, choose a resolution that, with the help of your New York City cosmetic dentist, can really happen.
Resolution: Whiter Teeth
For many patients, a professional teeth-whitening treatment is enough to achieve this goal, and it only takes about an hour in your Midtown Manhattan dentist’s office. However, some patients have the type of enamel discoloration that is impossible to whiten away. In cases like these, other cosmetic dentistry interventions are necessary, most notably porcelain veneers or Cerinate Lumineers.
Resolution: A Celebrity Smile
Your selfies are suffering. Your online dating profile is mediocre. You want to look like your favorite celebs with their amazingly perfect teeth. Here’s the reality: You can have what the celebrities have. Most of them are not born with perfect teeth. They need cosmetic dentistry support too (just google pictures of them before they were famous or early in their career – you’ll see), usually in the form of porcelain veneers. You just need a perfectionist to give you the same kind of smile makeover that looks completely natural.
Resolution: No More Tooth Pain
Tooth pain is right up there with back pain: unbearable. Nevertheless, plenty of people drag their feet about getting their dental pain addressed. Maybe you aren’t fond of going to the dentist. Maybe you’re embarrassed about the condition of your oral health. Maybe you’re scared that you’re going to need a lot of dental work. Here’s the reality: Tooth pain does not go away on its own. Decay, bacteria, and infections all become worse the longer you let them fester. Broken and cracked teeth are ripe for problems to develop below the surface. You can still get the amazing smile makeover you want, you just have to fix the foundation of your smile first with restorative dentistry.
Resolution: Straight Teeth
Were braces not a possibility when you were a teen? Have you always been ashamed of the idea of being a metal mouth? There are plenty of ways to get the straight smile you want, and they don’t all have to do with orthodontia. Yes, Invisalign will get the job done with nearly invisible aligners that make it almost impossible for people to notice that you’re wearing them. In less time and with more freedom than traditional braces, you can have a straight smile thanks to Invisalign.
If you have other oral health problems in addition to alignment issues, porcelain veneers are one of the most versatile cosmetic dentistry treatments – you can get those straight teeth, plus white teeth that are complementary to your appearance in length, shading, and shape.
