It’s easy to put off taking care of yourself. After all, we all know what it’s like when work, life, family, and other obligations get in the way. However, we’ve just turned the calendar on a new year, and it’s tradition to set some resolutions for yourself now for the rest of the year. Many times, these resolutions revolve around health or appearance and can include things like eating better, losing weight, or quitting smoking. But your dentist in Grove City wants to encourage you to also resolve to make more time for yourself and invest in what you want, such as a new smile. 

Transforming Smiles One Cosmetic Dentistry Treatment at a Time

An unfortunate fact is that over one-third of Americans aren’t happy with their smiles. What about you? When it’s time to get your picture taken do you hide your smile? When you look at your teeth in the mirror do you like what you see? If not, you may be a perfect candidate for some type of cosmetic dentistry from your dentist in Grove City. 

When some people think of cosmetic dentistry, they picture lengthy, expensive treatments that are only reserved for the rich and famous. That couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, there are many cosmetic dentistry treatments available and your dentist can help you find the best one for your needs and your budget. 

Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments to Transform Your Smile 

• Professional Teeth Whitening

The fastest, easiest, and often most affordable way to update your smile is through a teeth whitening treatment. Even though there are many products available and you can buy teeth whitening treatments at the grocery store or even online, we always recommend a professional in-office or take-home whitening provided by your dentist. The truth is, not all of the over-the-counter products will work the way you want. Additionally, your teeth need to be healthy enough for a whitening solution so start your smile-whitening journey by scheduling an appointment with your dentist in Grove City. 

• Smile Makeover

On the other end of the spectrum, a smile makeover is a custom comprehensive approach to changing your smile. This solution is often reserved for those with complex or advanced needs and involves several combined individual cosmetic dentistry treatments. Your dentist will talk with you about what you’re looking to change and develop a plan just for you. 

• Dental Veneers

Another popular and easy form of cosmetic dentistry is dental veneers. Veneers are thin pieces of ceramic that are bonded to the surface of teeth and basically cover up areas you don’t like. Veneers can help when teeth whitening doesn’t work for stains that are too deep. They can also fix cracks and gaps in teeth. Each veneer is a custom shape and color to give a natural appearance. 

2021 is well underway, and there’s never been a better time to make a commitment to yourself. Resolve to take better care of your oral and overall health. And if you’re ready to make an investment in your smile, call your dentist in Grove City to schedule a cosmetic dentistry consultation.
