Studies show that one-third of the new people you meet will notice your smile before anything else. Another study showed that 75 percent of the people surveyed said they\u2019d trust a person with a nice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drbobbycarmen.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">smile<\/a> before someone with a powerful job, stylish clothes or flashy car. So there\u2019s a good chance that you\u2019re being judged based on the condition of your teeth, but you\u2019re determined to do something about it. To help you in your quest, your dentist is weighing in with information on 4 types of cosmetic dentistry that can give you the smile of your dreams!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What is Cosmetic Dentistry?<\/h2>\n<p>Cosmetic dentistry is the branch of care that focuses more on the aesthetic qualities of your mouth, teeth and gums. It also plays a role in your overall wellness because it impacts the way you feel about yourself, which is important in creating the confident mindset that encourages better health.<\/p>\n<h2>4 Types of Cosmetic Dentistry Available for You!<\/h2>\n<p>Here are 4 different types of cosmetic dentistry that are available to change and remake your smile:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Teeth Whitening <\/strong>\u2013 Have your teeth lost some of their luster or have become discolored? Your dentist can help you regain the beautiful look of your ivories with Kor Take-Home Whitening System.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cosmetic Bonding <\/strong>\u2013 For small chips, cracks and stains, the cosmetic bonding method is a viable solution. Using a compound resin material, your dentist will reshape the tooth to its normal size and then harden it using a special light. You\u2019ll then have a fully restored and beautiful tooth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Porcelain Veneers <\/strong>\u2013 Made from high-grade ceramic, porcelain veneers are thin shells that mask slight gaps, misalignment, crookedness, crowded and stained teeth. Usually done in two visits, the process leaves you with a brand-new smile!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cosmetic Gum Lift <\/strong>\u2013 Are you unhappy with how your gums look? Do they make your teeth look short? If so, your dentist can use a laser to remove a small amount of gum tissue and leave you with a totally remade smile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Which Procedure is Right for You?<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re not sure which procedure is right for you, it\u2019s perfectly fine. You can schedule a consultation with your local dentist to talk about the type of look you desire and can then determine what will be the best route to take to smile perfection!<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Bobby J.
