If you want to love your appearance, start with your most prominent feature: your smile. At Absolute Dental in Virginia Beach, Virginia, we have several options to help improve the look of your pearly whites. From professional whitening that removes stains, to contouring that reshapes your grin, we have a way to help boost your confidence. Before a cosmetic treatment, talk to Dr. Folck today to determine the safest and most effective enhancement for your needs.
Professional Teeth Whitening
One of the most common visual concerns that patients have is the color of their teeth. Although having yellow teeth is not an indicator of poor oral hygiene, it can lower your confidence. Professional bleaching can help remove extrinsic discoloration and leave you with vibrant pearly whites.
We offer at-home or in-office services depending on your preference. During an in-office whitening treatment, a gel will be applied to your enamel and activated with a light. This will remove stains in one appointment and leave you with a brighter smile. If you prefer to do this at home, the gel will be applied every day for about two weeks. After this, you can enjoy your newly made-over smile.
If you have discoloration below the enamel, bonding may be a better option. Since this staining cannot be removed, adding composite resin over it will help blend the area in with your smile. You can also pair this treatment with contouring to even out pointy teeth.
Straighten Your Smile
For other patients, their concern is that their alignment is crooked. This can be improved without the need for orthodontic braces, which can be uncomfortable and not visually appealing. In our office, we offer Invisalign as an alternative to brackets and wires. An impression of your oral cavity will be sent to a lab, where your trays will be crafted. For 22 hours a day, you will wear your clear retainers. Every few weeks, as specified by your dentist, you will move on to the next set of retainers. Gradually these will help shift your teeth into proper placement. After a few years, you will have a straight smile.
If you have teeth that are slightly crooked, misshapen, or discolored, this can be fixed with a single cosmetic treatment thanks to veneers. Thin, tooth-shaped shells made of porcelain will be cemented to the blemished areas. This will help achieve the effect of a stain-free, even grin. Veneers are made to last for many years and withstand pressure from chewing, as well as staining from meals and beverages.
