o Invisalign, or invisible braces. This a more discreet version of the very
obvious metal brace that some people might feel self-conscious wearing as
an adult. All it does is realign your teeth like the other more traditional
braces would. They will gradually straighten out your smile and can reduce
any anxious feelings of self-consciousness.
o Porcelain Veneers. Porcelain veneers are used generally to cover up small
dental blemishes and imperfections while also enhancing the best natural
features of your smile. The veneers are very thin shells made from ceramics
that are made to blend naturally with your teeth. They usually require
multiple trips to your dentist to apply but the results are well worth it. A small
layer of enamel is removed from the pre-existing tooth, impressions of the
teeth will be made with temporary veneers being put in place during the
crafting period. After roughly two weeks or so, the custom-made veneers
will be ready for application.
o Teeth Whitening. Teeth whitening is a popular and simple procedure
performed in many places. There are two types of teeth whitening
procedures: in-office, using a Zoom whitening system, teeth will be
brightened considerably in up to ten days with one quick visit. There is also
the take home option wherein patients wear specialised dishes containing
gel over a short period of time. It doesn’t matter what type of bleaching
you use, preliminary treatment is offered using Fluoridex which is a kind of
special paste that is used to reduce or numb any painful tooth sensitivity.
