These days, it can seem like everywhere you look you see\nperfect smiles. But the truth is that very few people are born that way! The\nvast majority need one or more cosmetic dental procedures to help their smile\nlook its best. Cosmetic flaws can range from small things like stains and\ndiscoloration to more involved issues such as crowding. But, regardless of\nwhich issues you\u2019d like to correct, there are simple procedures that will\ndeliver great results, faster than you would expect. Keep reading to learn\nabout 5 of the most common reasons for a smile makeover in Cocoa Beach and what\nyour treatment options are! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Chipped Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Any teeth that have been weakened by tooth decay, age, or hard,\ncrunchy foods are susceptible to chipping. This not only puts the tooth at risk\nfor breaking again but also adds years to your appearance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For mild to moderate chips, a simple procedure called\nbonding can be done in just one appointment to restore the tooth\u2019s original\nsize and shape. It\u2019s done using the same tooth-colored material that\u2019s used for\nfillings on the back teeth, so it\u2019s not only strong, but will also blend in\nseamlessly with the rest of your smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staining and discolorations are one of the most common issues\nthat people want to address, and take-home whitening is a great way to safely whiten\nyour teeth several shades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does it work? First, impressions for custom trays will\nbe taken, which you\u2019ll pick up 1-2 weeks later. Then you simply fill them with professional-strength\nwhitening gel and wear them at home for about 10-14 days (30-60 minutes a day).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Poor Oral Health or Missing Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The way your smile looks is directly related to your oral\nhealth, so making sure your teeth and gums are healthy is the first step in any\nsmile makeover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, millions of people have experienced tooth loss,\nand even missing just one tooth impacts overall oral health. In most cases,\nimplants are the best replacement option because they provide superior strength,\nstability and longevity compared to options like bridges or dentures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Crooked or Misaligned Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign is a discreet, comfortable way to straighten your\nteeth with clear plastic trays instead of brackets and wires. It\u2019s a great way\nto treat mild to moderate cases of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
