In our last blog, we talked about how professional whitening treatments can help remove stains from the surface of your teeth. This helpful treatment can be done in our office or conveniently at home and can help you feel confident in family pictures this holiday season. However, the team at Silk Dental in Dallas, TX, knows that sometimes discoloration is not the only problem you may face with the appearance of your smile. For some patients, the symmetry of their smile is their main concern. In today’s blog, we’re here to talk about how clear aligners and other cosmetic services can help give your appearance an extra boost before you send your seasons greetings cards.
How A Misaligned Smile Affects Your Confidence
If you feel self-conscious in teeth that are overcrowded or poorly spaced, you are not alone. Nearly everyone will need braces at some point in their lifetime, but many adults ignore orthodontic care because it can be a hassle. For patients wanting to correct their poorly spaced pearly whites without irritating metal brackets and bands, we offer clear aligners that can discreetly correct your dental structures. This treatment can help gradually shift your teeth into the proper position, giving you a boost of confidence, improved speech, and an easier time taking care of your oral hygiene. We also offer clear braces, which are a less visible method of traditional brackets and wires. You can talk to your dentist to find out which option is most suitable for your needs/
Correct Gum Symmetry With Contouring
In some cases, the aesthetic concerns with your smile could be caused by an uneven gumline. Patients with a “gummy” smile may find that their pearly whites look small or uneven due to the amount of tissue that covers the structures. Gum contouring can be done to gently remove this extra tissue and leave you with a more balanced appearance. This process is achieved with a specially calibrated laser, meaning the process is minimally invasive and recovery time may be shortened. Gum contouring may also benefit patients experiencing gingivitis or periodontal disease. Removing extra tissues can make flossing and brushing an easier process.
Using Veneers For A Total Transformation
In addition to clear aligners and gum contouring, we also offer porcelain veneers and professional teeth whitening. A professional whitening service can help remove stains from your pearly whites, whereas porcelain veneers can help disguise blemishes with custom made shells. This process may be more invasive than other methods, but the results can last for several years with minimal maintenance.
