No one doubts the important role a beautiful smile plays in your appearance and self-confidence. But sometimes, finding time to improve the way your smile looks can feel too overwhelming, especially when dental visits are limited to busy workdays.
At Dr Taylor’s Family Dental Center, our team of skilled dentists offers visits seven days a week, making it easy to transform your smile without disrupting your busy routine. Here, learn about three one-visit cosmetic treatments that can enhance your smile and boost your confidence, too.
Without a doubt, professional whitening is one of the simplest, fastest ways to improve how your smile looks — and it’s a great way to boost your confidence, too. Professional teeth whitening is far more effective, faster, and more consistent than over-the-counter kits, transforming your smile in one visit so you can dazzle your friends the same day.
Dr. Taylor and his team offer both ZOOM!® and EPIC™ teeth whitening treatments to brighten your smile up to 12 shades in as little as 20 minutes. The main differences: ZOOM! uses light-activated hydrogen peroxide gel and takes about an hour, while Epic is a laser-based treatment that typically takes under half an hour.
Cosmetic bonding uses special tooth-colored resins applied to the front surfaces of your teeth (the ones visible when you smile). This single-visit treatment addresses many of the same concerns as porcelain veneers, but without the long wait (or the higher price tag).
Cosmetic bonding can be an ideal fix for issues like:
The bonding material is custom-tinted first to ensure it blends with your smile. Once it’s applied, we shape it and polish it for a beautifully natural-looking result.
Bonding is customizable, with treatment tailored to your concerns and the results you want. Your results are immediate, completely reversible, and replaceable.
One caveat is that bonding isn’t as durable as porcelain veneers, meaning you need to replace it more often. That said, with proper care, you can expect your results to last for years with regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups.
Most people know dental checkups are vitally important for “catching” issues early so they can get treated before they morph into more serious problems requiring complex — and costly — solutions. And it’s true: Checkups do play a critical role in maintaining oral health (and preventing more widespread health issues, too).
But what many people don’t realize is the cosmetic benefits of regular checkups and cleanings. That’s because a professional cleaning goes far beyond what your brush and floss can do. Our team uses strong but safe abrasives and special tools to remove plaque deposits and superficial stains that can leave your smile looking yellow, dingy, and worn.
That’s why scheduling a cleaning is a great way to get a quick “smile refresher” without investing in a more major cosmetic treatment. Scheduling a checkup and cleaning should always be your first step before embarking on any more advanced treatment — cosmetic or restorative.
Don’t let a crowded schedule keep you from getting a brighter, more dazzling smile. With appointments available seven days a week, we make it easy to get your pearly whites anytime — even on weekends.
