Plenty of people love Halloween because it gives them an opportunity to become the person they’d like to be, someone with better makeup, longer hair, cooler clothes, and, quite often, a stunning smile. You can’t dress up every day though, especially for work or school. If you wish you could transform your appearance permanently, it’s time to talk about a customized smile makeover with your cosmetic dentist and what you want your permanent costume to look like.
Straight Teeth Forever
Are you someone who tends to pop in glow-in-the-dark vampire teeth to conceal a crooked or gapped smile? The best way to cover up less-than-perfect teeth is with Invisalign aligners, which begin shifting teeth and roots immediately so that in just a few weeks you notice a change.
Straight teeth are easy to come by when you’re a candidate for this nearly invisible alignment method that takes about a year to complete. You’ll never want to don fake fangs again or cover up your excellent smile.
A Brilliantly White Smile
Wish you could have whiter teeth? Feel like Halloween is a great time to double down on white strips and try to wish your enamel into a brighter state? Over-the-counter whitening products sometimes work, but they aren’t guaranteed.
Only your cosmetic dentist can tell you for sure if teeth whitening is right for your enamel. If it is, you’re in good hands with a dentist who uses professional bleaching products to blast away stains and discoloration and deliver a truly white smile that lasts for years.
More Teeth, Less Gums
Gummy smiles are common, and many people think they must live with what DNA gave them. Not so. Whether you have partially erupted teeth, excess gum tissue, enlarged gums, an overgrown jaw, or a problematic lip size, cosmetic gum recontouring removes unwanted tissue to reveal more tooth enamel and create a bigger, broader smile. Some patients even combine this treatment with personalized porcelain veneers to achieve a complete smile makeover that is truly transformative every day of the year, not just on October 31.
Fill in the Holes
There are many possible reasons for missing teeth. Maybe an adult tooth failed to erupt, gum disease led to lost teeth, or a blow to the mouth in an accident or game took a tooth out permanently. What’s important is getting that missing tooth (or teeth) replaced for good.
A gap in your smile might contribute to a pirate or hockey costume, but the absence of any teeth in real life makes you look unhealthy and older than you are. Dental implants are the permanent way to replace missing teeth so they look natural, feel normal, and stick around forever.
