The traditional areas that are given thought when the subject of fashion comes up are clothes, hair and make-up. Modern followers of fashion will of course know this, but there has also been a recent upturn in the interest being shown in other areas of style and fashion such as skin, teeth and nails.
The most interesting rise seems to have been in the number of cosmetic treatments available, in particular those that concern teeth. Everyone is aware of cosmetic surgery and what can be done, but teeth are one of the most visible parts of the body and now those that are after the perfect look are starting to do what they can to make sure their smile is bright and the best it can be.
The perils and temptations that surround all of us in modern life mean that it is almost impossible to avoid foods and drinks that are bad for our teeth. Coffee and tea are culprits, as is smoking and so is red wine. Fortunately, there are treatments available that can counteract the effects of such foods; it would be hard to believe that every movie star with a ‘Hollywood smile’ lived without touching any of these things!
The fastest way to give you r teeth a boost is to have a whitening treatment. Tooth whitening gives the best results when treated by a dentist and the treatments are usually quick and give instant results. Whitening is perfect if you just want to give your teeth a quick boost before attending a party or wedding and is great if your teeth are in good condition but could do with a bit of a boost.
Visiting your dentist for a cosmetic treatment also means you will be able to get your overall oral health checked out at the same time. It’s the perfect time to also get any fillings sorted out and some dental practices also offer cancer screening too as well as x-ray facilities for in depth analysis of your teeth and mouth structure.
Cosmetic dentistry does go much further than teeth whitening though. Dental implants for example are used to fill the space left when teeth are removed or broken. They can be coloured to match the natural shade of the remaining teeth so as not to look out of place or artificial. In a similar fashion, veneers are often used to repair chipped teeth and can be shaped to look entirely natural.
If you want to boost your smile and your overall health at the same time pay a visit to your nearest cosmetic dentist. They’ll be able to offer advice on the most suitable treatments for you as well as explain the full extent of what is involved and sort out any other minor dental problems you may have.
