WONDERING IF COSMETIC DENTISTRY IS SAFE?

Your smile is the first thing that people notice about you; so, having a dazzling set of pearly whites can make all of your first impressions positive and memorable! But if you’re unhappy with your smile, you might be wondering about your possible options. Fortunately, cosmetic dentistry has many available treatments that are certain to brighten and enhance your smile—and the best part is that these options are all entirely safe! Keep reading to learn more from your cosmetic dentist about what makes cosmetic dentistry safe and some ways you can utilize it to upgrade the look and feel of your smile.

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Safe?

People elect to receive cosmetic dentistry for many reasons, but most of them have to do with enhancing the appearance of their smile. And thanks to countless advancements in modern technology, these treatments are now easier, safer, and more effective than ever before. Dentists are well past the point of having to apply seemingly random ingredients to your teeth. They’re now able to utilize specialized tools and professional-grade mixtures that won’t harm you at all, while providing you with impressive results. It’s also worth mentioning that dentists will only perform cosmetic dentistry on qualifying patients following an oral health screening.

The Benefits of Receiving Cosmetic Treatment

Cosmetic dentistry can do much more than merely upgrade the appearance of your smile—there are several other benefits! Many patients become extra motivated to take care of their new smile after receiving cosmetic care, so they’re more diligent about their oral hygiene which translates into fewer oral health issues. Visiting the dentist, even just for cosmetic treatment, also allows your provider the chance to inspect your mouth and ensure there aren’t any underlying problems. And in some cases, certain cosmetic procedures can even offer increased oral functionality by addressing bite problems or damaged teeth!

Common Cosmetic Treatment Options

There are many cosmetic treatment options out there, but a few of the popular choices that people opt for include:

• Teeth whitening (in-office and at-home)
• Porcelain veneers
• Metal-free restorations
• Cosmetic dental bonding
• Invisalign

Although it will depend on your individual needs, these options are widely available, effective, and completely safe. You don’t have to settle for an unsatisfactory smile; talk with your cosmetic dentist if you’re ready to upgrade your smile and reap the many benefits that cosmetic dentistry has to offer.
