Before you know it, your calendar will start filling up with\nwork parties and gatherings with friends and family. One thing all these events\nhave in common is that someone will undoubtedly take pictures. If you\u2019re self-conscious\nof your smile, it can make you dread the holidays for this reason. Fortunately,\nyour dentist is here to help. Keep reading to learn 3 ways that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beckdentalcare.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">cosmetic\ndentistry<\/a> in Columbia can help revitalize your smile just in time for the\nholidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Porcelain Veneers <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have so many dental imperfections that you wish you\ncould just press the reset button on your smile? If so, then veneers may be the\nperfect option for you. These super-thin shells of dental porcelain are permanently\nbonded to the front-facing surfaces of your teeth to conceal all kinds of smile\nflaws. A tiny sliver of enamel must be removed from your tooth to ensure the\nveneers lay flat against your smile line, but it will be well worth it to have\na beautiful smile that lasts up to a decade or even longer with very little maintenance.\nSimply brush and floss your teeth as normal, and be sure to visit your dentist\nin Columbia every six months for a checkup and cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Dental Bonding <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you have several imperfections in your smile, but you\ndon\u2019t want to spring for porcelain veneers. In that case, you may be a good\ncandidate for dental bonding. Your dentist can use a composite resin (the same\nmaterial used in tooth-colored fillings) to alter your tooth\u2019s size, shape, and\neven color. Whether you have chips, cracks, stains, or gaps, direct bonding is\na quick way to get the smile you want just in time for the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Take-Home Teeth Whitening <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Has a love of wine, coffee, or tea stained your smile beyond\nwhat over-the-counter whitening kits can cure? Then look no further than\nprofessional at-home teeth whitening from your dentist. They can affix you with\npersonalized trays that fit snugly over your teeth. You\u2019ll be instructed to\nwear these trays along with a prescribed bleaching gel that is much more potent\nthan anything you can find at the drugstore. Simply wear these two items\ntogether for a certain amount of time each day, and your smile should be\nseveral shades whiter in just a few days! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know a few of your options, have you scheduled\na consultation with your cosmetic dentist? They can help determine which of the\nprocedures listed above is the best way for you to get a picture-perfect smile\nthis holiday season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beckdentalcare.com\/victor-beck-jr-dds.html\">Dr. Victor Beck,\nJr.<\/a> graduated with his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1973 from the\nUniversity of Tennessee.
