Summer is here, and for many people that means a little extra free time. With school on break, longer days, and lighter traffic, now is the perfect season for taking a much-needed vacation and focusing on yourself. If you’re looking for something to do to make the most of your upcoming R&R, here are a few cosmetic dentistry treatments that will leave you looking and feeling your best before you head back to the grind!

Veneers

Dental veneers are thin porcelain shells that fit over your teeth to change their color and sometimes even their shape.  They are made by a dental lab from a mold created by your dentist. The whole process is easier than you might think. First, your dentist will remove a thin layer of enamel from each tooth. Then, they will make impressions of your teeth and send them to the lab where the veneers will be fabricated. Once they arrive at your dentist’s office, you will return to have them attached. The whole process takes about two appointments and requires no recovery time or downtime.

Your new veneers will look and feel natural, resist stains, and last up to 20 years with proper care. Best of all, you don’t need to do anything special to maintain them. Just brush, floss, and visit your dentist for your semi-annual checkups like you normally do.

Dental Bonding

Bonding is a procedure your dentist can perform to rebuild broken or worn teeth. Bonding uses a composite resin to sculpt replacement enamel and fill in chips, gaps, or even cover stains. Bonding is more affordable than veneers and can be done in one visit. It’s also completely painless and requires no down time.

Teeth Whitening

Are you looking for a quick and easy way to reduce stains and lighten the color of your teeth by multiple shades? The KöR whitening system can help. Done in 15-minute intervals, the KöR system uses a bleaching gel to brighten your smile in about an hour.

For those looking to whiten their teeth at home, Zoom! offers a professional take-home kit that works on your schedule to deliver professional results just like you’d get at the dentist’s office.

Remember, whether you’re trying to brighten your smile with the lasting results of veneers, repair a cosmetically damaged tooth, or just take a few years off your appearance with the help of teeth whitening, the lazy days of summer are the perfect opportunity to get a hot new look before life gets hectic again.
