Since it’s now 2025, perhaps you want to make your smile look nicer. Beautifying your grin would help you start this year on the right foot! Even so, your new goal may prompt a big question: “How can I fix my smile?” You should address it before you get any treatment; you won’t have good results otherwise. With that said, let your Windermere dentist share four great ways to fix your smile for 2025.
Remove Stains with Teeth Whitening
If your smile suffers from stains, a teeth whitening treatment should fix it right up. The procedure would (or at least should) make your grin brighter than ever.
Teeth whitening is a service that (per its name) brightens your grin. By applying a strong bleaching gel to your enamel, it removes stains built up from foods, drinks, and other outside sources. The result is usually a smile that looks six to eight shades whiter than before. Still, how quickly you achieve this effect depends on whether you get in-office whitening or a take-home kit.
Get a Touch-up with Dental Bonding
Rather than glaring faults, maybe your grin only has minor flaws. It’d be wise to get dental bonding if that’s the case.
For dental bonding treatment, a dentist applies tooth-colored resin to teeth with slight flaws. (These faults include small tooth stains, light chips, cracks, etc.) This resin is then hardened and made to blend seamlessly with your adjacent teeth. As a result, dental bonding gives your smile a touch-up that hides its unappealing parts for years.
Enjoy Versatility with Veneers
When a smile has several flaws at once, you don’t need to fix it with many treatments. Just receive a veneer treatment; it’s versatile enough to handle various faults.
All in all, veneers are thin shells placed on the fronts of teeth. Their main role is to hide a wide range of smile flaws – stains, chips, cracks, misalignments, and more. Thanks to using porcelain, the shells look natural once placed and blend seamlessly with a patient’s smile.
Align Your Grin with Invisalign
If your grin’s main problem is crookedness, you’re in luck. Invisalign would literally “straighten things out” until your smile has no crooked teeth.
If you didn’t already know, Invisalign is a simpler and easier alternative to metal braces. It uses clear trays (i.e., “aligners”) to move your teeth into the right positions. So long as the aligners are worn for 20-22 hours daily, most patients can achieve a fantastically straight smile in just a year.
Clearly, the answer to “How can I fix my smile?” is varied. See your dental provider to determine which treatments suit your grin best.
