Maybe you&rsquo;d rather start that summer vacation you&rsquo;ve been planning. However, dealing with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">your smile flaws<\/a> now will make this season all the sweeter. After all, fixed teeth will make a better impression on friends, family, and other peers. Aren&rsquo;t exciting beachside parties or bonfires worth an hour or two in a dental practice? That said, consider these three treatments from your cosmetic dentist in Bellingham.<\/p><!--more--><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cosmetic Dental Bonding<\/h2><p>Cosmetic dental bonding is when dentists apply a tooth-colored resin to your teeth. Its main purpose is to hide dental problems like chips, cracks, stains, and fractures. To ensure long-term results, a special curing light hardens the resin to keep it in place.<\/p><p>Because the applied material&rsquo;s color matches tooth enamel, some patients whiten their teeth before receiving the bonding. That way, the treatment&rsquo;s final results look even more beautiful.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gum Recontouring<\/h2><p>Sometimes, patients can improve their smiles&#8217; appearance by adjusting their gumline. An excellent example of that is gum recontouring.<\/p><p>Minimally invasive, the procedure removes tiny amounts of your gum tissue with a dental laser. In doing so, it helps teeth that are stubby, uneven, or &#8220;gummy&#8221; seem nicer.<\/p><p>Perhaps best of all, recontouring is pretty painless. It cauterizes tissue throughout the process to keep bleeding to a minimum and improves your gums&rsquo; regeneration. Plus, at no point does it involve sutures, scalpels, or other sharp tools.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Metal-Free Dental Restorations<\/h2><p>Metal-free restorations are modern dental crowns, bridges, and fillings that don&#8217;t use metallic materials. Today, crowns and bridges are made of dental porcelain or ceramic. Meanwhile, fillings include a flexible resin that has tiny bits of glass and plastic.<\/p><p>Compared to earlier restorations, metal-free ones are the ideal choice. Their materials fix the appearance and the function of patients&#8217; teeth. In fact, ceramic crowns, bridges, and the like appear so similar to natural teeth that only dentists can tell the difference. Plus, these restorations being non-metallic is ideal for patients with metal allergies.<\/p><p>As tempting as it may be, don&#8217;t put off improving your summer smile. Great pearly whites could positively affect your fun in the sun.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/\"><em>Moreno &amp; Young Dental<\/em><\/a><em> is based in Bellingham, WA<\/em><em>.
