4 Non-Invasive Ways to Make Your Smile Look Great

If you want a gorgeous grin, you may fear that cosmetic dentistry is too invasive an option. Wouldn’t the field’s services involve lengthy and intrusive work on your mouth? However, aesthetic dental care has simple and unintrusive ways to make your smile look great. These procedures offer beautiful results without being a hassle, so they’re really worth considering. As for the proof, here are four non-invasive aesthetic treatments that help smiles look amazing.

Teeth Whitening

One low-commitment cosmetic option is teeth whitening. This treatment ensures your pearly whites live up to their nickname, even as it requires no surgical interventions.

Teeth whitening works by applying a bleaching gel to your smile. As this gel seeps into your enamel, it quickly and safely removes the stains from your grin’s surface. The bleaching process won’t alter your actual tooth structure or place instruments inside your teeth. All it’ll do is whiten your smile’s enamel layer, making it roughly six to eight shades brighter than before.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is another non-invasive treatment of note. Should you get it, your smile would look much nicer with only some slight adjustments.

Unlike teeth whitening, dental bonding uses a tooth-colored resin that hides small stains, chips, and cracks once applied and blends seamlessly with your grin. Putting it on flawed teeth also doesn’t require preparation; treatment can start immediately if oral health is good. In other words, dental bonding would enhance your smile without using intrusive tools. 

Veneers

Modern veneers can make even the most flawed grin beautiful. At the same time, their alterations to your existing teeth are minimal.

Dental veneers are small, porcelain shells placed on the fronts of teeth. Once correctly set, they can hide a whole host of smile flaws – stains, chips, cracks, misalignments, etc. Their placement requires a dentist to remove some enamel, but only half a millimeter. This amount is very tiny, and the final veneers compensate by protecting the underlying teeth.

Invisalign

Last but not least, Invisalign is a great non-invasive cosmetic service. It can transform your smile without major disruption to your daily life.

Note that Invisalign consists of clear, plastic trays worn over your teeth. Since these “aligners” are removable, they won’t interfere with meals and oral care like traditional braces might. You can take them off as necessary and eat, drink, brush, or floss as you normally would. So long as the trays stay on your teeth for 20-22 hours daily, they’ll straighten your crooked smile in short order.

Clearly, non-invasive ways to make your smile look great exist. Keep them in mind as you pursue dental cosmetics!
