You simply have to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edisonprosthodontics.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">learn about your options<\/a> and talk to your dentist! If you keep reading, this post will get you halfway there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Back to The Basics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Brushing and flossing your pearly whites is something you can do at home \u2013 to a certain extent. It doesn\u2019t take much for the harmful oral bacteria on the surface of your enamel to harden into plaque and tartar, which are just as dangerous and even harder to remove. A toothbrush just isn\u2019t going to cut it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist\u2019s professional tools, on the other hand, are more than capable of eliminating these icky, staining substances from your teeth. It\u2019s basic, but biannual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edisonprosthodontics.com\/dental-checkups-and-cleanings.html\">cleaning<\/a> appointments go a long way towards keeping your smile fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Get Blindingly White Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You know how most Hollywood stars seem to have smiles that literally sparkle? That\u2019s usually the work of a skilled dentist\u2019s teeth whitening or dental veneer treatment! Here\u2019s what each option involves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Teeth whitening<\/strong> lifts surface stains from dental enamel using a unique (and safe) bleaching agent. Your dentist can apply this gel in-office or supply you with a take-home kit and detailed instructions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edisonprosthodontics.com\/veneers.html\">Dental veneers<\/a><\/strong> are basically thin, porcelain shells that your dentist can adhere to your natural teeth. They\u2019re 100% customizable; with some strategic and artful sculpting, veneers can conceal minor gaps, cracks, deep stains, and more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Damage? No Problem!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve sustained a bit more damage than a \u201cminor crack,\u201d then don\u2019t worry. There\u2019s an aesthetically appealing solution for you, too. Gone are the days when bright, metal amalgam fillings and crowns were your only option for dental protection. Now dentists can mix composite resin to match the exact shade of your natural pearly whites. With metal-free restorations, you\u2019ll have a perfectly seamless smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Talking to Your Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These treatments are only a taste of the kinds of cosmetic improvements your dentist can offer your teeth! The field has become so advanced and diverse that the best way to start is to talk to your dentist directly. They\u2019ll be able to examine your mouth and give you a professional recommendation based on your smile goals. That way, you can be just as confident in your plan as you will be with your results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edisonprosthodontics.com\/meet-dr-shah.html\">Dr. Vrajesh Shah<\/a> is a qualified prosthodontist, which is a dentist with specialized education in restorative treatments.
