A smile is a greeting to both friends and strangers. It is a way many people express their mood, and it indicates to others if they are open to communication or if they’d rather be left alone. Without even speaking a word, a smile, or lack of one, sends a message to others either to come close or to steer clear. It’s a quite powerful tool. Unfortunately, those that are embarrassed by their teeth may be giving others the impression that they’re unfriendly and want to be left alone when that’s far from the truth. In essence, they don’t smile because they’re trying to hide their teeth.
Fortunately, with the recent advances in cosmetic dentistry, nobody has to live with a smile they’re uncomfortable showing to the world. By visiting the Cosmetic Dentist in Kingwood TX, it is possible to transform their self-conscious and hidden smile to a movie-star quality smile with only a couple of dental appointments. For those with discolored or dingy teeth, but still have good alignment and no chipped or crooked teeth, a teeth-whitening procedure might be all that is needed. It’s a simple process that takes less than an hour from start to finish. After determining the proper shade of whiteness, a gel is placed on the teeth. A special UV light is then shone onto the teeth to intensify the gel’s whitening power. When the teeth are whitened to the desired shade, the gel is removed, and the teeth are white and shiny.
For those with chipped or uneven teeth, veneers may be the answer to a new smile. Veneers take only two appointments to complete, and the transformation is amazing. After the teeth are buffed and shaped to ensure a perfect and natural fit, a mold is taken of the teeth. This mold is used to form the veneers. On the return visit, an adhesive is placed on the teeth and the paper-thin veneers are attached to the front of the existing teeth. With proper care, the veneers should last many years, giving the patient a picture perfect smile.
