Not to mention that it greatly\nenhances your self-confidence and helps you get ahead in your personal and\nprofessional life. Unfortunately, if you&#8217;re like most people, you weren&#8217;t born\nwith your ideal smile, but a cosmetic dentist in Reno can change that! Keep\nreading to learn about 5 procedures that can completely change the way your\nsmile looks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly everyone has stained and discolored teeth at some\npoint. Whitening is one of the most requested procedures because it makes big\nchanges in your smile for a relatively small investment of time and money. There\nare two main professional options, both of which will whiten your teeth by 6-10\nshades:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>In-office\nwhitening<\/strong> \u2013 This option takes just one appointment of around 90 minutes, so\nit&#8217;s perfect for anyone who wants their results immediately.<\/li><li><strong>Take-home\ntrays<\/strong> \u2013 Take-home trays are less expensive and provide results more\ngradually (10-14 days).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to straightening your teeth discreetly, you&#8217;ll\nalso enjoy the following advantages of Invisalign in Reno:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Invisalign is removable, so it&#8217;s much easier to\nbrush and floss. That means that your smile is more likely to look better and\nstay cavity-free when your treatment is done.<\/li><li>You can eat and drink normally and won&#8217;t have\nany dietary restrictions.<\/li><li>In most cases, it&#8217;s less treatment time\n(Invisalign is finished in an average of 12 months instead of 24 months for\nmetal braces).<\/li><li>Invisalign trays are far more comfortable than\nbrackets and wires.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Gum Recontouring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gum recontouring is a great option for the following issues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>A \u201cgummy smile\u201d \u2013 <\/strong>If\nyour gums are overly-prominent, this lengthens your teeth to give you a well-proportioned\nsmile.<\/li><li><strong>Uneven gums<\/strong>\n\u2013 When your gums are uneven, it&#8217;s easy to make the mistake of thinking your\nteeth are the problem. Gum recontouring reshapes your gums to help your teeth\nlook more uniform. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Porcelain veneers in Reno will give your smile a\ndramatically different appearance, usually in just two visits. These strong,\nthin coverings are semi-permanently adhered to the front surfaces of your teeth\nand can last 10-15 years with basic maintenance. They\u2019re excellent for a wide\nvariety of flaws, including small or oddly shaped teeth, chips, gaps, minor crowding,\nand severe staining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.&nbsp; Direct Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Direct bonding can be done in one visit. It involves using tooth-colored\nfilling material (also used to repair cavities on the back teeth) to correct fairly\nminor or moderate flaws on the front teeth. It\u2019s great for small chips, cracks,\ncavities, and stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;d like to take the first step towards a having a gorgeous smile, schedule a consultation with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sagedentalnv.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">cosmetic dentist<\/a>. They&#8217;ll assess your dental history, current oral health, goals and more before recommending the best procedures for you.
