Now that the new year is well underway, many people are looking for something new to challenge themselves with during the next 12 months — and lots of us like to start with how we look. Increasingly, it’s not just about losing weight and getting fit after the excesses of the festive season, but also enhancing our appearance to look better than ever.
Getting a New Year smile makeover has become popular among people everywhere. It’s something that’s almost instantly achievable compared to resolving to get down to the gym several days a week and shift those pounds — we’d all love to do it, but let’s face it, with work and family commitments, who has the time? It’s no wonder so many New Year gym memberships go unused: they can be a brilliant-body dream that never quite comes true.
What Is A Smile Makeover?
A makeover is a transformation of someone’s appearance, whether it’s their face, body or by changing their style and wearing more fashionable clothes. TV (and Netflix) is full of programmes taking ordinary people and transforming their rather dull appearance into something quite extraordinary and making them look incredible. A smile makeover is only concerned with a person’s teeth, altering them in ways that restore their pearly whites — and perhaps also their shape — so they have a real celebrity smile and look amazing.
These days, cheap cosmetic dentistry makes having a smile makeover more affordable than ever. There are several types to choose from. Which one is best for you depends on a number of factors, but most especially your oral health — the condition your teeth and gums are in, and if they make you a suitable candidate for cosmetic dentistry.
One of the most popular, and basic, ways of having a smile makeover is teeth whitening. You can have the procedure done at your dentist or home. It involves putting a whitening solution on the surface of the teeth, usually by placing a mould containing it on the teeth for a short period. This is known as a professional teeth whitening kit and it requires a visit to the dentist to have a mould made that perfectly fits your teeth, so the solution is right up close to them. Then it’s a matter of carrying out the procedure at home, for a week or two, before your teeth are sparkling again.
A Lasting Smile Makeover
Other types of cheap cosmetic dentistry include dental bonding, which is a resin that’s applied to the teeth to fix chips and cracks and also to fill gaps between them. Dental bonding is one of the most affordable ways of restoring broken or misshapen teeth and can be done in just one visit to the dentist. But if you’re missing teeth, you may want to go for dental implants, which give you back the look and functionality of your original teeth and perfectly match the surrounding ones.
If it’s a more spectacular kind of smile makeover you’re after, you can opt for crowns or veneers. These will give you that Hollywood smile you’ve perhaps always wanted — perfect-looking and brilliantly white teeth that dazzle and give you an amazing smile makeover. Both crowns and veneers are porcelain, which is hardwearing and resistant to stains. The main difference is crowns encase the entire tooth, and so also serve a protective function, while veneers bond to just the front of the teeth.
Whichever kind of cheap cosmetic dentistry you choose for 2020, you’re sure to have a smile makeover that gives you loads more confidence as you truly shine.
