You could buy the best toothpaste and toothbrush money can buy, but that doesn’t mean you will improve your smile. You could practice in front of a mirror to get the perfect angle, but that doesn’t mean you’ll see improvement either. Sometimes, the only way to get that brilliant designer smile is by seeing a dentist. Here’s what they can do for you.

A Full Cosmetic Check-Up

The job of a cosmetic dentist, or a design-a-smile expert, is to check out what you could do to improve your smile. Sometimes, it’s as easy as teeth whitening. Other times, it could be veneers, dental implants, or Invisalign braces.

Dentists advise that during that initial check-up, your dentist will check for decay, potential problems, and cavities. They can then point you in the right direction of procedures that could improve your smile.

Teeth Whitening

If years of enjoying an evening wine, your morning coffee, or cigarettes have taken their toll on your teeth, then that will show in their colour.

Once you see your dentist, they can help you pick your preferred shade then make an appointment for teeth whitening.
