Having a beautiful smile isn’t just about aesthetics. It helps you feel happier, more attractive, and more confident. The holiday season is a great time to give yourself the gift of a more beautiful smile with treatments that deliver lasting benefits long after the holiday season ends.
Abir Faraj, DDS, and our team at Novi Family Dentistry in Novi, Michigan, want our patients to enjoy a beautiful, confident smile every day of the year. Here, learn about six treatments that can give you the dazzling smile you want and deserve.
Even with diligent brushing and flossing, stains from coffee, tea, wine, and other foods and drinks can dull your smile over time. Professional whitening treatments lift away stains for a significantly whiter, brighter, and healthier-looking smile.
Unlike over-the-counter kits, professional whitening uses stronger solutions and custom application for more consistent results, plus they’re less likely to cause tooth sensitivity. Dr. Faraj offers in-office whitening that can be completed in just one office visit, as well as take-home whitening kits with custom trays molded to the contours of your teeth.
Porcelain veneers transform your smile by concealing chips, gaps, worn edges, and deep stains that don’t respond to whitening treatments. These thin, tooth-colored shells are applied to your tooth surfaces, creating a flawless, natural-looking result.
Veneers typically take two visits — one to prepare your teeth and one to apply the finished veneers. Veneers are made in a special lab using the most advanced materials for years of carefree enjoyment.
Cosmetic bonding performs many of the same functions as veneers, but treatment is completed in a single visit.
Bonding uses special resins that are carefully tinted to match your teeth. These resins are applied to the surfaces of one or more teeth, then expertly shaped so they blend in beautifully.
Bonding also requires less tooth preparation than veneers, and it’s completely reversible. Bonding results don’t last as long as porcelain veneers, but they can provide a dramatic improvement in your smile aesthetics.
Millions of Americans are missing one or more teeth. If you’re one of them, you know the toll it can take on your smile and confidence.
A dental bridge is designed to replace one or more missing teeth, improving aesthetics, function, and confidence. Plus, by preventing your natural teeth from shifting, bridges maintain better oral health and help prevent further tooth loss.
A dental crown is a cover that’s designed to go over the entire visible part of your tooth (the part above your gum). Like veneers, crowns are extremely versatile — used to cover deep stains, chips, cracks, and even fractures. They’re also used to cover teeth that have large, dark fillings.
Made from durable, tooth-colored materials, a dental crown is custom-tinted to match your other teeth, blending in and looking completely natural. Crowns also improve your oral health by strengthening your tooth, preventing further damage, while also restoring functions like biting and chewing.
Sometimes, all it takes is a professional cleaning to help your smile shine. During your visit, our team removes yellow tartar buildup and sticky plaque film, banishing dinginess while reducing your risks of gum disease and cavities.
A final polishing removes superficial stains to help your smile look its absolute best. Combined with a checkup, a professional cleaning visit is one of the best ways to begin the new year looking and feeling more confident.
A beautiful smile can help you look great and feel great — not just during the holidays, but all year long. Whether you want a subtle touch-up or a complete smile makeover, Dr. Faraj and her team offer custom options to help you achieve your goals.
