Across the world, this time of year entails vacationing, traveling, and slowing down life a little bit. Many families and individuals make lifelong memories, taking priceless selfies and photos with huge happy grins. Needless to say, it’s an excellent time to have a smile you’re proud to show off! Even this late in the summer, if you would like to improve your teeth, you have cosmetic dentistry options available. Here are potential services you can get done.
Teeth Whitening
As you soak up the bright summer sun, you probably want your smile to shine just brilliantly, and professional teeth whitening can lift 10 shades of discoloration. With powerful bleach like Zoom! Teeth Whitening, you can reach these results in just about one hour in the dentist’s chair. As a bonus, some dentists provide take-home kits that can help you maintain your teeth’s radiant whiteness for a little while longer. This treatment is fast and simple, ideal to do before you embark on your late summer adventure!
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding addresses more severe flaws than just discolored teeth. In fact, this composite resin can fill in chips and small gaps, cover cracks, and reshape small or odd teeth. The putty-like resin is matched to the desired tooth color and applied, sculpted, and then cured and polished. Bonding typically can be completed in only one appointment, which is perfect for a quick, affordable aesthetic improvement.
Veneers
If you have ample time before your big summer plans, you can manage to upgrade your smile with veneers. These custom porcelain coverings appear natural and stand up to wear and tear better than bonding. Because a dental lab fabricates veneers over a couple of weeks, you’ll wear temporary ones until yours are ready. Just make sure you have enough time to get them prior to your departure date!
Keeping Your Smile Beautiful This Summer
Once you’re out enjoying last bit of summer, whether you’ve had cosmetic treatment or not, your choices can affect your smile’s appearance for better or worse. No matter where you travel, make sure you continue your daily routine of brushing and flossing your teeth every day—even if your schedule is abnormal. Also, while you certainly can indulge in excellent foods and beverages, be careful about a few things: limiting the sugar you consume, biting and chewing hard foods like nuts, and not using your teeth on objects that could damage them.
When you look back on summer 2025, you want to remember the amazing times you had, not focus on imperfections in your smile. So, before autumn comes along, enhance your smile with your dentist and love the photos you’re in this summer!
