If you could change anything about your smile, what would it be?
Most people can name at least one thing about their smiles.
Is that why? Why is it that we all desire a beautiful smile?
It’s pretty simple when you think about it:
You wear your smile 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It doesn’t go away.
Research shows that smiling can have a positive impact on your self-confidence and how you are perceived by others.
In other words:
Improving your smile is one of the best investments you can make with yourself.
Bonus:
With today’s dentistry, you have so many options and combinations of treatments to choose from! So no matter what your timeline or budget is, you’re bound to find a way to enhance your smile’s beauty.
How to fix your smile
We’ve compiled a list of the top 8 ways to transform your smile.
1. Teeth whitening(*8*)
Over time, your teeth become dull, yellow, and stained, making you look unhealthy, aged, and less attractive.
The quickest solution to fix this is teeth whitening!
Teeth whitening is fast, affordable, safe, and non-invasive. It’s the perfect option if you want a quick fix or add a finishing touch to your other dental work (such as after orthodontics).

Zoom! whitens your smile up to eight shades lighter in just one appointment.
It’ll also remove years of deep, stubborn stains and discoloration to keep your smile white longer than over-the-counter whitening methods.
Not to mention:
Teeth whitening at the dentist’s office is customized to reach your desired shade of white and minimize tooth sensitivity, which is a common side effect.
2. Dental bonding(*8*)
Do you have chips, gaps, or discoloration? Do you want different shaped teeth or chips?
Cosmetic bonding can conceal common smile imperfections in just one visit.
Bonding consists of tooth-colored material that’s adhered to your teeth, shaped, and polished. Once completed, your new tooth will blend seamlessly.
It’s a conservative alternative to veneers because it requires minimal to zero modification to your teeth. Plus, it’s less expensive!
With proper care, bonding lasts up to 10 years before needing to be touched up or replaced, making this a worthwhile investment.
3. Gum contouring(*8*)
Do you have a gummy smile? Or a nonsymmetrical line between your gumline and the crown?
Gum contouring is a way to remove excess gum tissue without the need for surgery. This can be done on one tooth or several teeth.
Want to avoid the scalpel? Locate a dentist that offers laser dentistry.
Laser dentistry gently shapes your gums. This reduces pain and speeds up recovery.
Gum contouring usually takes only one appointment and is generally less costly than other cosmetic treatments.
4. Porcelain veneers(*8*)
If you want the ultimate smile makeover, here it is!
Porcelain veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells that adhere to the front of your teeth. The material is super durable and resistant to stains and decay.
Veneers fix your smile’s:
- Stains and discoloration
- Chips and cracks
- Gaps
- Alignment
- Shape
- Width and length
And more!
From the number of teeth treated to the style of your new smile, this treatment is fully customizable.
Keep in mind:
Veneers are more conservative than crowns. However, it’s necessary to remove some of your enamel to place the veneer, making this procedure irreversible.
Rest assured, you’ll love your new smile and never look back!
5. Crowns(*8*)
When your tooth is severely damaged or decayed, a crown may be your best option – especially when the alternative is extracting the tooth.
A crown is a cap that fits over the existing tooth according to this dentist who does cosmetic dentistry in Tallahassee FL. It’ll improve your tooth’s strength and function.
A crown enhances your smile’s appearance! Crowns are custom-designed to look and feel like a natural tooth so that no one will notice.
Typically, crowns last an average of 5 to 15 years, depending on the material used and how well you care for it.
6. Dental implants(*8*)
Are you missing one or more teeth?
Dental implants are the go-to option for replacing missing teeth.
Why?
They’re the only restoration that replaces your entire tooth from root to crown.
The benefits of dental implants include:
- Preserved bone structure, stopping premature aging
- Prevention of additional dental problems, like shifting teeth
- Full functionality, so you chew and speak with confidence and comfort
- A permanent restoration, no worry about it falling out or slipping around
- Cost-effectiveness, saving you money in the long run
With proper care, the implant’s small titanium post (your new tooth root) should last a lifetime, making this initial investment worth it.
If you have multiple missing or damaged teeth:
To save money, you may not want to replace every single tooth with an implant. Instead, you may prefer to have an implant-retained bridge or denture.
7. Tooth-colored fillings(*8*)
If you need a filling or need to replace an existing one, ask about composite fillings.
Composite fillings can be made with tooth-colored material, not silver amalgam.
This type of filling is more durable and safe than traditional metal fillings because they tightly bond with your tooth and don’t expand or contract with hot and cold temperatures.
Plus:
Tooth-colored fillings blend in seamlessly with your smile, so no one has to know.
8. Botox and dermal fillers(*8*)
Improving your smile isn’t limited to your teeth.
Botox and dermal fillers are making their way into advanced dentistry for cosmetic and therapeutic benefits, including:
- Reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, such as crows feet and frown lines
- Adding fullness to your lips
- Relieving facial pain, tension, TMJ symptoms, headaches, and more
You could look decades younger with these cosmetic facial treatments.
Even though these treatments are typically associated with dermatologists and plastic surgeons, dentists make ideal Botox and dermal filler administrators.
How is that possible?
Dentists have extensive experience and training in facial structure, muscles and bones. Plus, they’re well-versed in injecting sensitive areas.
