As care-free and easy as it sounds, for people who are self-conscious about dental imperfections, engaging in conversation with people that you haven\u2019t seen in a while can cause you to become anxious or nervous, especially about showing your smile. Instead of stifling your season\u2019s greetings which involve showing your teeth, let a cosmetic dentist in Tyler remodel your smile into a trait you\u2019ll be proud to let show. Read on for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franklindentalcenter.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">three treatments<\/a> offered by your dentist that can erase oral imperfections so you can let your holiday spirit show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you look in the mirror and show your teeth, do your\neyes immediately fixate on the dental damage, discoloration, and minor\nmisalignment issues? You would like to fix it all, but you\u2019re not sure if it\u2019s\nworth needing several different procedures. With porcelain veneers, you likely\nwon\u2019t have to. They\u2019re a strong, durable cosmetic treatment that conceals all\nof those issues in just three appointments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you have one tooth that distracts from your grin or\nseveral, these thin porcelain shells are customized to fit over each individual\ntooth to make them appear white, straight, and perfectly intact. That way, you\ncan laugh, smile, and speak without worrying about anybody fixating on your\nunappealing teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Professional Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your teeth are stained, you\u2019ve probably used store-bought\nwhitening kits to try to give them new life and make them whiter. The problem\nis, not every ingredient used in those is healthy for your mouth or approved by\nthe ADA. Plus, they tend to make big assurances that they aren\u2019t able to\ndeliver on. Instead of dumping your money into an endless promise that you\u2019ll\nhave significantly whiter teeth, choose professional teeth whitening treatment.\nIt offers fast, safe, and proven results that are virtually guaranteed. In just\na single appointment, your dentist in Tyler can have your smile ready for your\nnext office holiday party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you chipped your tooth riding your bike when you were\nlittle or forgot to wear a mouthguard during a game of rugby, chipped, cracked,\nand fractured teeth happen. However, you don\u2019t have to let that dental damage\nwear on your self-confidence for the rest of your life. For minor dental\ninjuries, cosmetic bonding is a fast, cost-effective treatment that can complete\nthe look of your smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a single appointment, your cosmetic dentist will custom\nmatch the shade of your tooth enamel to a composite resin, which they\u2019ll place\non the missing or damaged portion of your tooth. After sculpting it to look\ncompletely natural, they\u2019ll cure it with a UV light, creating an air-tight bond\nand seal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The holidays are all about being grateful and enjoying\nspending time with all of your loved ones. Sometimes, that can be hard to do\nwhen your dental damage gives you social anxiety or makes you self-conscious while\nholding conversations. Your dentist in Tyler can help you determine which of\nthese cosmetic treatments can restore your confidence and help you get the most\nout of the holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Donna Franklin-Pitts is a member of several professional\norganizations, including the American Dental Association and Texas Dental\nAssociation, just to name two.
