Maybe 25%? Believe it or not, it\u2019s only about 8%! If you want to start the new year off with your best foot forward, there\u2019s an easier way. You can improve your smile instead, in just 1 or 2 visits to a cosmetic dentist in Powell. Want to learn more? Keep reading to find out how 4 popular procedures can give you the beautiful smile you\u2019ve always wanted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Professional Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whitening is one of the most requested cosmetic procedures because it\u2019s fast, easy and effective. But while it\u2019s tempting to go with store-bought whitening products, the FDA limits their strength, so they aren\u2019t as effective as professional treatments. Both of the following professional options will whiten your teeth by 3-7 shades. The main difference between them is how quickly you get results. Here\u2019s what you can expect from each procedure:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Take-home trays:<\/strong>&nbsp;Most people get their results from take-home trays in 10-14 days. You simply fill custom-made trays from a dentist with professional-strength whitening gel and wear them at home for 30-60 minutes a day.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Zoom! In-office whitening<\/strong>: This option whitens your smile in just one visit. After a powerful whitening gel is applied to your teeth, they\u2019re exposed to a special light in 15-minute increments, which accelerates the process. Throughout your visit you\u2019ll be monitored for sensitivity until your final results are acheived.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Invisalign&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a long time, the only way to straighten your teeth was traditional braces. Then Invisalign was developed around 20 years ago and changed everything. This orthodontic treatment relies on clear aligner trays to create movement and works for most of the same issues as metal braces, including overbites, underbites, crowding, gaps, and more. In many cases, Invisalign is completed in less time than traditional braces, with the average being 12 to 18 months. That means you could be done (or almost done) with treatment by the end of the year!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Porcelain veneers are strong, thin shells of porcelain that are adhered to the front surfaces of your teeth to mask any imperfections underneath. They\u2019re completed in just 2 visits and can hide a wide variety of flaws, including chips, cracks, severe stains, minor gaps and crowding, small or oddly shaped teeth and more. With regular checkups from a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wedgewoodcompletedentistry.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">dentist in Powell<\/a>&nbsp;and good oral hygiene at home, they can last 10-15 years or longer.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Tooth-Colored Fillings and Restorations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you need to have cavities or other dental problems repaired, you don\u2019t want it to affect the appearance of your smile. With tooth-colored fillings and ceramic dental crowns, it won\u2019t. These materials are not only perfectly matched to blend in with your smile, they\u2019re also strong and durable as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve always wanted a smile you can feel proud of, the new year is the perfect time to achieve it. After you\u2019ve had a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dentist, they\u2019ll create a custom treatment plan that\u2019s perfect for your needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wedgewoodcompletedentistry.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Ryan Eskridge<\/a>&nbsp;is a general and cosmetic dentist in Powell and a graduate of the Ohio State University College of Dentistry.
