Plenty of people have dental anxiety that prevents them from scheduling everything from routine checkups and cleanings to aesthetic services to improve their appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thankfully, most providers offer a variety of solutions to address imperfections in your grin, so you can choose minimally invasive options. Continue reading to learn about 3 popular treatments that are unlikely to hurt or cause any complications so you can safely enhance your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option #1: Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even those who are committed to brushing and flossing twice daily can eventually develop dental stains, especially if they frequently consume darkly tinted foods, like coffee, tea, berries, or tomatoes. You might think over-the-counter whitening strips or gels can help, but these often contain diluted bleaches and one-size-fits-all applicators that can cause sensitivity or yield inconsistent results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, many dentists offer professional services using ultra-concentrated solutions designed to reduce potential discomfort. They also utilize custom-fitted trays for more accurate and comfortable applications. Many providers also offer both in-office procedures and take-home kits with professional-grade supplies, so you can brighten your grin on your schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option #2: Dental Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veneers are often the go-to treatment for chipped or cracked teeth, but they require removing additional enamel so the ceramic covers fit correctly over the fronts of your teeth. This protective outer layer doesn\u2019t regrow, so if you\u2019re not eager to make this irreversible change, you may be a good candidate for dental bonding, often considered a less invasive and more cost-effective alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This procedure involves placing color-matched composite resin directly onto the affected tooth to mend or mask flaws. Then, it\u2019s hardened in place with a special ultraviolet curing light. The results blend beautifully into your smile and can last 5 to 15+ years with the right care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option #3: Laser Gum Recontouring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some folks have extra connective tissue that can make their smile look overly gummy or make certain teeth appear shorter or stunted. Historically, dentists used scalpels to remove excess tissue, which often required stitches and a lengthy healing period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, many dentists use more advanced technology, like soft tissue lasers, to recontour gumlines instead. Options like diode soft tissue lasers specifically target certain tissues for enhanced accuracy. These devices also cauterize the cut as it\u2019s made, which typically results in less discomfort, reduced bleeding, and faster recovery times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re still unsure of which cosmetic procedures are right for you, your dentist can provide a customized treatment plan after your initial discussion and examination. If you\u2019re overly anxious, they might also offer dental sedation to help you feel calm and relaxed while enhancing your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patients at NU Dental of Barnegat benefit from a team of dentists who are passionate about helping them build the healthiest and most beautiful versions of their smiles.
