For example, a dark or stained area on a front tooth might actually be a cavity. Having it repaired will prevent it from causing more damage while also making your smile look better.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>What Are Your Options For a Smile Makeover?<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Whitening \u2013<\/strong> A professional take-home whitening treatment will whiten your teeth by 3-8 shades. After custom-made trays are created, you\u2019ll simply fill them with whitening gel at home and wear them 20-60 minutes a day (depending on the strength of the gel that&#8217;s best for you). Most people get their desired results in about 14 days.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Cosmetic Bonding<\/strong> \u2013 This procedure is done in just one visit. It involves using tooth-colored filling material (the same material used to repair cavities) to correct relatively minor cosmetic flaws. It\u2019s often used for small chips, stains, cracks, and cavities on the front teeth.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Porcelain Veneers<\/strong> &#8211; Porcelain veneers are an excellent way to completely mask a variety of flaws and can be done in just 2 visits. They\u2019re great for chips and cracks, minor gaps and crowding, severe discoloration, and oddly-shaped or uneven teeth.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Metal-Free Restorations<\/strong> \u2013 If you don\u2019t want your dental work to show when you smile or laugh, metal-free restorations such as fillings and crowns can be a great choice. These materials are not only durable but also blend in perfectly with your smile.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Gum Recontouring<\/strong> \u2013 If you feel like you have a \u201cgummy smile\u201d or uneven gums, this procedure is a fantastic option. It allows a dentist to reshape your gums in just 1-2 visits and give you a beautifully-proportioned, uniform smile.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nIf you want a smile makeover for the holidays, start with a consultation with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">cosmetic dentist in Bellingham.<\/a> After looking at your dental history, oral health, and overall goals, they\u2019ll create the perfect treatment plan for you &#8211; just in time for the holidays!\r\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/meet-dr-young.html\">Dr. John Young<\/a> is an experienced general and cosmetic dentist who\u2019s known for giving his patients beautiful results.
