Not only will you feel great about showing off your new pearly-whites at holiday parties, but you\u2019ll go into the new year with a brand new sense of self-confidence. In fact, studies show that people who have a nice smile are perceived as more attractive, likable, intelligent and even younger than those who don\u2019t. With such a big impact on every area of your life, a smile makeover in Bellingham is a gift that will keep on giving. Learn more below about several cosmetic procedures that can transform your smile!\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2>Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\r\nThese thin, strong \u201cshells\u201d are adhered to the front of the teeth to give them a brand new appearance. This one cosmetic procedure can practically do it all and is perfect for any of the following flaws:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Chips<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Gaps<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Severe staining that doesn\u2019t respond to whitening treatments<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Minor crowding<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Small or oddly shaped teeth<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>Cosmetic Bonding<\/h2>\r\nCosmetic bonding involves using white filling material (the same material used for white fillings done on back teeth) to repair small imperfections on the front teeth. It\u2019s great for small chips, cracks, cavities and discolorations.\r\n<h2>Whitening<\/h2>\r\nWhitening is incredibly popular because it provides big results for a relatively small investment of time and money. And since the strength of over-the-counter products is limited by the FDA, you\u2019ll get the best results, safely and reliably, with a professional treatment.\r\n\r\nAfter having custom-made trays made, you\u2019ll fill them with a professional-strength whitening gel and wear them for 30-60 minutes a day. Most people get their final result in about 2 weeks.\r\n<h2>Gum Recontouring<\/h2>\r\nGum recontouring is a great way to treat the following cosmetic issues:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>A \u201cgummy smile\u201d \u2013 <\/strong>If you have a high proportion of gum tissue, your teeth may look smaller than they actually are when you smile. Gum recontouring will lengthen the teeth for a beautiful, well-proportioned smile.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Uneven gums<\/strong> \u2013 Many people think that their teeth are uneven or misshapen when the problem is actually their gum tissue. After the gums have been reshaped, the teeth are much more uniform in appearance.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe best way to find out which of these procedures is best for you is to schedule a consultation with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/restorative-dentistry.html\">dentist in Bellingham<\/a>. In some cases, a simple whitening treatment may be all that\u2019s necessary. In others, more than one procedure may deliver the best results.\r\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/meet-dr-young.html\">Dr. John Young<\/a> is a general, restorative and cosmetic dentist in Bellingham who knows that cosmetic work isn\u2019t a one-size-fits-all approach.
