So, you want to see improvements with your smile, which will make you feel much happier with your appearance. As a result, your first instinct may be to try to implement such changes through your own efforts at home. Of course, this is an admirable quality for you to have! However, in this case, our Virginia Beach, VA team has to remind you that attempting your own cosmetic care is always going to be something we advise against because it’s not safe and it won’t prove effective. So, what to do, you wonder? Always come in to see us! As for some of those details currently on your mind, consider answers from your Virginia Beach cosmetic dentist
Can I Try To Whiten My Smile At Home First?
We always answer this with “no.” While there are certainly lots and lots of treatments and ideas out there that you could try if you decided to, your Virginia Beach cosmetic dentist reminds you of the following, important information:
- Generally speaking, you won’t see the dramatic results you want if you try cosmetic care from the drugstore or with a do-it-yourself approach
- If you do see results, it is likely that you will also have created damage, which means you have a brighter smile but a new set of problems (that are avoidable by simply seeing us instead)
- The best route for keeping your smile healthy and getting it much whiter is coming to us first, without trying your hand at being a dentist!
Can I Try One Of Those Smile Clubs For Braces?
We don’t suggest this. Remember that every patient requires unique attention and treatment, monitoring, and a dentist who can make changes according to your needs as your treatment progresses. Skip this potentially hazardous option and instead, seek Invisalign with your Virginia Beach cosmetic dentist.
Is It True That I Can Push Teeth Together To Close Gaps?
Do you have a friend who claims she pushed on her teeth every day to close a small gap? This isn’t something you should try. In addition to the fact that you may cause irritation or damage to your smile, this is also not an effective way to get your teeth to move. Even if it were, it would then potentially leave spaces on the other sides of those teeth! Instead, when you want to address gaps, let us know. Your Virginia Beach cosmetic dentist offers dental bonding to quickly address spaces (and you have access to porcelain veneers, too) for a safe way to make your smile appear consistent.
