Your smile is one of the first features a person notices about you. If you have noticed that you prefer to hide your pearly whites in pictures or feel less than confident in the appearance of your smile, we may be able to help with cosmetic treatments. Your team at MMC Dental in Houston, TX, can find a cosmetic solution that fits your needs and helps target your main concerns with your smile.
A Way To Brighten Your Smile
One of the most common complaints that patients have about their smiles is staining on their teeth. This can be caused by several factors, including the foods and beverages we consume each day, and other habits. If the stains are on the surface of your teeth, we may be able to remove them with a simple professional teeth whitening treatment in our office or with a custom take-home kit. If done in our office, we will apply the bleaching agent to your teeth and activate it with a light. You may be able to see results in as little as one session. For patients who prefer to accomplish this at home, we can send you home with custom trays and bleaching solution. You will wear these every day as instructed by your dentist to remove the stains. In about 10 days, you can show off your new and improved smile.
Conceal Discoloration & More
In some cases, the stains on your teeth could be caused by intrinsic factors. Damage to your tooth, aging, tobacco, and more, can be internal factors leading to discoloration and can be difficult or impossible to remove with a bleaching treatment. Instead of trying to remove these blemishes, we can add a lifelike material to the tooth to conceal the discoloration. Cosmetic bonding is a noninvasive process that can improve the symmetry of your smile and boost your confidence. You can choose to have bonding done on its own, or pair with contouring to reshape jagged, pointy, or uneven teeth surfaces. We also offer gum contouring, which can help remove excess gum tissue and create a more balanced smile.
Ask Your Dentist About Veneers
Porcelain veneers are another way you can improve your smile’s appearance. With this method, custom made porcelain shells are created to cover the front of your tooth. These veneers can be used to disguise stubborn blemishes, teeth that are too small or large, gaps between your teeth, and many other cosmetic concerns you may have with your smile. To find out if veneers are right for you, schedule a consultation with your dentist today.
