Smiling is one of the best ways to make a good impression and boost your confidence. Unfortunately, not everyone has the perfect smile they would like. Luckily, today there are many ways to improve your smile without spending a fortune. In this blog post, we will take a look at 10 great ways you can improve your smile and boost your confidence, ranging from whitening and brightening those teeth, to straightening your grin altogether.
1. Braces
If you’re looking for an effective and classic fix, then braces are the way to go. Braces are one of the most common ways to improve your smile and alignment of teeth. They’re recommended for correcting bite and tooth misalignment, closing gaps between teeth, straightening crooked teeth, improving jaw growth, and creating better symmetry for a more pleasing smile. Your orthodontist can assist you in deciding which type of braces are best for you, be it traditional metal braces or Invisalign clear aligners. So that you can feel better with a healthier and straighter smile.
2. Dental Crown & Dental Bridge
A crown is a porcelain cap placed over an existing tooth to restore its shape, size and strength; it also improves the appearance of that tooth by covering any visible damage. A dental bridge is an artificial tooth used to fill a gap between two teeth and can improve your smile when done by an experienced dentist.
Transform your imperfect smile with the help of two dental processes, dental crowns and bridges. A dental crown often referred to as a porcelain cap, is designed to restore a tooth’s shape, size, and strength while disguising any visible damage. This process also has cosmetic advantages, making a noticeable and lasting improvement to your grin.
3. Invisalign
If you’re looking for a faster, more discreet and comfortable way to get your teeth into their proper alignment, Invisalign is an excellent solution. This revolutionary form of orthodontic treatment uses certified, custom-made and removable aligners made from strong plastic material, instead of painful metal braces that are traditionally associated with straightening teeth. This is ideal for those not wishing to commit to the appearance of braces, yet would like the same results.
Plus, Invisalign aligners allow for easy oral care (keeping your teeth clean and healthy is essential) by removing them when necessary. As a bonus, the innovative technology in Invisalign only takes a fraction of the time that braces would traditionally take to achieve the same desired result, meaning you’ll enjoy a straighter, brighter and healthier smile on your timeline while still achieving identifiable results.
4. Dental Implants
Whether you’re missing one or several teeth, implants provide a secure foundation for permanent replacement teeth that look, feel, and act just like natural ones. The result is a more substantial bite and improved esthetics that will have you smiling with confidence again soon!
5. Root Canal
A root canal is a procedure used to fix an infected or damaged tooth and prevent further damage. The procedure involves removing the affected tissue and replacing it with a special filling material, restoring both the look and function of your smile, so you can get back to showing off those pearly whites. Whilst root canals are not the most comfortable, they’ll put a smile back on your dial in no time, and better yet, you can show off that smile with confidence once more.
6. Teeth Cleaning
Professional teeth cleaning removes plaque buildup, helps protect against gum disease, freshens breath, and brightens teeth for an improved smile. Regular dental appointments will help keep your mouth healthy and your smile looking great! When having your teeth professionally cleaned has so many benefits, why wouldn’t you want to get it done regularly?
By removing harmful plaque buildup, you’ll be actively protecting your gums against disease while ensuring halitosis is a thing of the past. Imagine showing off that million-dollar smile that has been brightened for an improved beautiful smile. You’ll be preserving the health inside your mouth and making sure your smile looks its best.
7. Tooth Extraction
When a tooth has been severely damaged or decayed beyond repair, it must be extracted to avoid further damage or infection. After the extraction is complete, a dentist may suggest dentures, a dental bridge, or a dental implant to replace the extracted tooth. Whilst you might be stuck sipping soup with a sore mouth for a day or two, the confidence you’ll regain by ridding yourself of the rotten tooth will be well worth it.
8. Teeth Whitening
This is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments for those looking for brighter, whiter teeth. The process uses peroxide-based whitening gels that penetrate deep into the enamel to lighten and brighten your natural shade of white. The best part is undoubtedly how this treatment is both ultra-effective, whilst also being extremely accessible for just about anyone. Believe us, you’ll be the belle of the ball with those white, bright chompers.
9. Veneers
A veneer are a thin layer of porcelain that adheres directly to teeth, which will completely revolutionise your self-confidence as well as your smile. The porcelain layer gives your teeth an improved shape and colour. With veneers, you can conceal unsightly chips, discolourations, and even gaps between teeth.
Just picture it; no more second glances in the mirror or conscientious avoidance of receiving compliments on your pearly whites. Going through this process is so rewarding; not just for the sense of joy when seeing your transformation progress as desired, but also due to the overwhelmingly positive feeling of self-worth surging through your veins. The whole experience may be daunting and costly at first but by the end, it will undoubtedly have been worth every penny.
10. Dental Bonding
Are you looking to improve small imperfections in your teeth, such as chips, cracks, or gaps? This procedure offers a great solution. With the application of a special compound that seamlessly blends in with your existing teeth, you can use a specialised light to harden the material and create flawless results. An ideal choice for those wishing to achieve quality and long-lasting satisfaction.
