The benefits of cosmetic dentistry can be life-changing. Studies and research of one kind or another have all shown that, by smiling more and having a smile you feel proud of, you can enjoy a better sense of wellbeing. For instance, smiling increases the body’s levels of endorphins and serotonin, reducing stress and creating a pleasing sense of calm. What’s more, people with a beautiful smile are perceived as being more intelligent, successful, and friendly.
Effective Services for a Transformed Smile
Two of the most effective and most common cosmetic dentistry services out there are teeth whitening and Invisalign.
Many dental offices that offer teeth whitening offer two different versions—in-office and take-home whitening. Both promise professional results, but in different ways. In-office whitening with a system like Kör Whitening can help you achieve stunning results in just one office appointment. Patients who might be sensitive to in-office treatments, on the other hand, may want to consider a take-home system. With take-home whitening, you can achieve the same results as with in-office whitening, but on your own schedule.
Invisalign is a version of clear braces used most often by adults who have put off orthodontic care. Instead of using metal brackets and wires to straighten teeth, the way traditional braces do, Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners. With Invisalign, you can enjoy greater convenience than with other options. That’s because Invisalign can be taken out to eat, brush, and floss. That’s a level of convenience that traditional braces just can’t touch.
