Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Oh, no! You’ve found yourself missing one or a few teeth. You’ve heard dental implants are the best solution for missing teeth, but you don’t know if they’ll work for you. You’re in the right place!
Do This Now So Your Smile Is Ready for Wedding Season
It may be the end of winter and the beginning of spring now, but the summer wedding season is coming soon. Will your smile be ready?
The good news is that you still have a few months to prepare, so you’ll be ready to show off a sparkling smile in all the wedding photos.
Here’s what our team at Portrait Dental recommends you do now so your smile is ready for wedding season.
Daily oral hygiene
Excellent daily oral hygiene is the foundation of a healthy smile. Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss at least once a day to prevent plaque buildup and remove food particles. This will help prevent decay, cavities, and gum disease, and set the stage for a great smile.
Dental exam and cleaning
Your next step is to schedule a professional exam and cleaning. Not only can professional-grade tools remove any built-up plaque and tartar, leaving your teeth as clean and bright as possible, but an exam will also give Dr. Minh Nguyen a chance to identify any problems and treat them before wedding season arrives.
Veneers
Veneers are very thin porcelain shells that fit over your teeth, giving you a bright, uniform, natural-looking smile. They cover imperfections such as stains, chips, gaps, and uneven teeth. They’re one of the easiest and fastest ways to dramatically transform your smile.
You can get just one veneer to cover a single problem tooth (we can make it match the natural shade of your other teeth), or a series of veneers will provide a more widespread transformation if several teeth have issues.
Bonding
Cosmetic dental bonding is a quick and affordable way to fix minor flaws in your smile. We can bond chips, cracks, discolorations, and small gaps with a tooth-colored resin that is sculpted and polished all in one procedure. Bonding doesn’t require any anesthetic, downtime, or extra visits, so it’s perfect for small repairs.
Teeth whitening
This one is a no-brainer to get your teeth as white as possible. Skip the store-bought strips that promise instant whiteness and get a professional teeth-whitening treatment that will remove stains caused by tobacco, dark-colored foods, poor oral hygiene, and even genetics.
Our chairside procedure features the Philips Zoom! System, including a bleaching solution and a special light to activate the solution, making your smile up to eight times whiter.
If you need a dentist who can perform these treatments, our team at Portrait Dental is here to help. Call our Katy, Texas, office to schedule an appointment, or book your own time with our easy online scheduler.
