With summer’s arrival, the school year is winding down again. Still, not all students are on fun-in-the-sun vacations yet. A select few are prepping for their school graduations! These figures will wear caps and gowns before putting on swimsuits. If you know one of them, then, gift them with cosmetic dentistry prior to the ceremony. Doing so gives your graduate a lovely grin for the event. As for which procedures, your local dentist can suggest a few. Here are four ideal cosmetic dental treatments for new graduates.
Dental Bonding
Does your student suffer from minor smile flaws? In that case, they may want to try dental bonding.
For dental bonding treatment, a dentist applies tooth-colored resin onto your teeth. This substance hides small stains, chips, and cracks from view. As a result, your once-problematic enamel blends seamlessly with its surroundings. Better yet, the treatment effect comes cheaply, quickly, and lasts several years with proper care.
Teeth Whitening
Perhaps your student has slight-to-severe tooth stains. If they do, seriously consider buying them a teeth whitening procedure. This option can brighten smiles with in-office care or an at-home kit.
Per its name, in-office whitening involves a one-hour dental visit. This session has a dentist apply bleaching gel onto your teeth. Said gel, when combined with a special light, then makes your enamel six to eight shades whiter.
In contrast, take-home whitening needs at least two weeks to work. It requires that you wear bleaching trays daily during that period. If your student opts for this approach, they should start several weeks before graduation.
Porcelain Veneers
Maybe porcelain veneers would be the best choice for your soon-to-be graduate. After all, their versatility lets them alter tooth color, shape, and position.
Put simply, veneers are porcelain shells bonded to the fronts of teeth. They hide various smile issues – stains, chips, cracks, etc. – once placed. Plus, they use porcelain material that ensures treated teeth blend seamlessly with your grin.
Invisalign® Clear Braces
Invisalign could help your child avoid graduation photos of crooked teeth. It would, quite literally, “straighten out” their pearly whites.
Invisalign is a series of clear trays that align a patient’s teeth. In particular, these “aligners” work by moving each tooth into the proper position. The process often takes a year to finish, but noticeable results can arrive much sooner. Some may notice a difference in as little as two weeks!
Ultimately, cosmetic dental treatments for new graduates have many perks. Therefore, offer your student one (or more) of its options soon!
