Cosmetic Dentistry That’s Perfect for Graduating Students

Graduation represents a new beginning, and the value of starting the rest of your life on the right foot can’t be understated. If you want to do that, cosmetic dentistry can be a great idea.

If you’re interested in looking your best for both pictures and job interviews, that can all start with a great smile. Here are a few cosmetic treatments that are perfect for graduating students.

Teeth Whitening

One of the best ways to completely change how your smile looks to people is professional teeth whitening. Within a single appointment, an experienced cosmetic dentist can make your smile up to eight shades brighter than it was before.

Your dentist can layer a whitening solution onto your teeth and wait for it to soak in, then remove it from your teeth. They can do this until they’ve completely transformed your smile.

Direct Bonding

If you’ve had a chip, crack, or other imperfection that has long bothered you about your smile, it may surprise you to hear that it’s possible to repair these flaws within a single trip to the dentist’s office.

Direct bonding uses a malleable composite resin that can be molded onto the teeth. The dentist can meticulously sculpt it to reshape the tooth, hiding any damage that’s been done. Then they use a specialized light to harden it into place.

Veneers

Maybe you don’t want to just deal with one or two issues—maybe you want to completely transform how your smile looks. Veneers can help you do that.

These are thin shells of porcelain that can be layered onto the front of your tooth, covering it completely. This gives you the opportunity to change everything about how your smile looks, from its shape to its color.

If you’ve spent a lot of your time hating how your smile looks, veneers can completely transform it in as little as two appointments. There’s no better way to enter the rest of your life!
