Entering the real world is a big step, and since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bricedental.com\/\">a beautiful smile<\/a> can be an amazing asset in both the professional world and the social scene, why not consider the gift of cosmetic dentistry? Here are a few cosmetic dental treatments that make great graduation presents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Porcelain Veneers Can Transform Troubled Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Porcelain veneers are a versatile cosmetic treatment that can treat a range of dental issues at once. These thin porcelain shells mimic the ideal color, luster, and shape of a patient\u2019s natural smile and are designed to be cemented over teeth to cover defects such as chips, gaps, cracks, and stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veneers are placed in as few as two appointments. During the first, the dentist will begin by using a local anesthetic to numb the teeth being treated, rendering the process completely painless. They will then remove a tiny amount of enamel from these teeth to make room for the veneers. The dentist will then take bite impressions of the treated teeth and place temporary veneers on them so the patient can get used to how they feel. The impressions will be sent to a lab where the permanent veneers will be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the second visit about two weeks later, the dentist will remove the temporary veneers and cement the permanent set in place. After any final adjustments, the patient will be sent on their way to enjoy their new smile. With excellent care, porcelain veneers can last for fifteen years or more before needing replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invisalign Can Get a Smile in Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your graduate would like a straighter smile without having to worry about the conspicuous metal parts and irksome dietary restrictions that come with traditional metal braces, Invisalign may be an ideal treatment for them. Using a sequence of customized removable clear aligners, Invisalign slowly shifts teeth into more optimal positions. The patient must wear each set of aligners for at least twenty hours a day for about two weeks before switching to the next set in the sequence. The process usually takes between six and eighteen months and delivers beautiful results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why not send your graduate off into the real world with a more beautiful smile? Scheduling them for a cosmetic dental consultation can help determine which treatments may be right for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Zachary Brice earned his dental degree at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio Dental School and stays abreast of the latest developments in dentistry by frequently taking continuing education courses.
