10 Great Ways to Improve Your Smile

1> Whitening

When it comes to getting a whiter and brighter smile, there are a variety of teeth-whitening products you can try. Your main options are in-office or at-home bleaching.

2> Crowns

A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped. A crown can make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance

3> Veneers

Veneers are thin shells crafted of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front side of teeth. Unlike bonding, it is necessary to remove a small amount of enamel from your tooth to accommodate the shell.

4> Braces

If you have crooked teeth and/or a misaligned bite, there are a variety of treatments that can help straighten teeth, including braces and retainers that cover the outside of your teeth and help keep them in position.

5> Implants

Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth. Surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, they function as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth.

6> Flossing

Flossing removes plaque between teeth and out from under the gum lines, where a toothbrush can’t reach. Daily flossing helps prevent tooth decay and gingivitis.

7> Brushing

Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Frequent brushing helps teeth to stay whiter and healthier than in people who brush less often.

8> Give up smoking

Smoking causes staining to your teeth. The stain from smoke is sometimes a superficial stain that can be polished off, but it can also soak deep into the enamel.

9> Use a Fluoride Toothpaste

When it comes to toothpaste, there are more important elements to look for than whitening power and flavors. No matter which version you choose, make sure it contains fluoride.

10> Regular Dental Visits

Something as simple as going to your dentist twice a year is one of the easiest things you can do to improve your smile.
