St. Augustine, FL
A new year is a time to set new intentions and plans. The most common New Year’s resolution is to lose weight. But some people may resolve to take more adventures, drink less alcohol and more water or maybe even learn a new hobby.
Our dental team has a New Year’s resolution that takes very little effort on your part but has a big payoff: How about a smile makeover for 2024? Can you imagine being proud of your bright, white smile and all the confidence that will bring into your personal and professional lives?
Today our cosmetic dentist in St. Augustine is sharing a variety of treatments we offer that can help you enjoy a new year, new smile, new you in 2024!
Teeth Whitening
By far our most popular cosmetic dental treatment is professional teeth whitening. Unlike whitening strips that you can buy at big box stores, our results are quick and efficient and don’t cause sensitivity issues with teeth or gums. Usually a smile can be dramatically whitened and brightened in just one visit to our office.
Dental Bonding
Sometimes teeth discoloration and staining is “intrinsic,” or below the surface of the tooth. In those cases, professional teeth whitening may not work, and our St. Augustine cosmetic dentist may recommend dental bonding.
Dental bonding is versatile and economical and can address a wide variety of cosmetic dental issues, including:
- Repairing small tooth fractures
- Repairing teeth that are misshaped, discolored or too short
- Correcting minor crookedness in teeth
- Repairing old fillings, cavities or tooth decay
- Closing gaps in teeth
- Protecting exposed tooth roots from receding gums
Our St. Augustine cosmetic dentist can adjust the color of the bonding material, which is flexible so it can be molded to any shape. Results, therefore, provide a seamless color, shape and size, matching the patient’s surrounding teeth. Most dental bonding treatments can be completed in one simple office visit.
Dental Veneers
Veneers are durable wafer-thin shells that are bonded to the surface of a tooth to hide imperfections. Veneers are stain-resistant and non-invasive, and they have translucent properties. They are considered a permanent restorative procedure, but they don’t last forever so you will eventually need to replace them. You can prolong the life of veneers by taking care of them exactly as you would natural teeth.
