Are you ready to take on the world with your charming personality and dazzling good looks, or do you cringe at your reflection because your teeth aren\u2019t as perfect as you wish? If your pearly whites aren\u2019t so white, or if you have cracks, chips, or gaps in your smile, you don\u2019t have to suffer with those flaws forever. Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calimesadentist.net\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">cosmetic dentist in Calimesa<\/a> will be happy to talk with you about your options. Maybe you can start the upcoming new year with a new smile!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Step One: Exploring Your Treatment Options<\/h2>\n<p>First, you need to decide what you want your new smile to look like. Then, when you talk to your dentist, you can decide on the best treatment. Some of the options you might discuss include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Professional teeth whitening. <\/strong> Parker offers take-home whitening kits that can produce dramatic results in just a couple of weeks. If you\u2019re careful to follow your dentist\u2019s instructions, your new dazzle could last for years!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Porcelain veneers.<\/strong> In as few as two visits to your dentist, you could undergo a complete smile makeover. Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that get permanently attached to the front of your teeth. They can disguise a wide range of cosmetic flaws.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Direct bonding.<\/strong> This process uses a tooth-colored resin to change the shape of teeth, cover discoloration, or repair chips.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Crown lengthening.<\/strong> Do you have a \u201cgummy smile\u201d? Your dentist may be able to reshape your gum tissue so your smile has more attractive proportions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step Two: Achieving Your New Look<\/h2>\n<p>Some cosmetic dentistry procedures are simple and straightforward, whereas others require multiple visits to the dentist and some patience on your part. Regardless of which treatment you choose, be sure to stay in touch with your dentist about any concerns you might have. For example, if you are whitening your teeth and notice that you\u2019re experiencing increased sensitivity, don\u2019t be afraid to talk to a professional about it.<\/p>\n<p>You should also understand your payment options. Dental insurance does not cover cosmetic procedures, so you may have to use credit or ask if your dentist offers an installment plan that allows you to pay over time.<\/p>\n<h2>Step Three: Maintaining Your New Look<\/h2>\n<p>Most cosmetic procedures require some maintenance. With whitening, for example, you may occasionally have to do some touch-ups, and you might have to cut back on certain staining foods. If you have porcelain veneers, you may have to switch to a non-abrasive toothpaste and avoid hard or dark-colored foods that might dull or damage your new dazzle.<\/p>\n<p>Do want to feel brand new in the new year?
