Millions of students graduate from high school and college every year in the United States. And a major part of graduation is the pictures that will be captured to celebrate your graduation. These pictures will help you to keep your favorite memories for years to come. You would want to look back on your senior pictures loving your smile instead of noticing the flaws.

Do you want to love your smile in pictures or something you wish you had improved? There are easy ways to beautify your smile in time for your senior pictures. At Alencar Family Dentistry, we can examine you and present ways to enhance the appearance of your smile. If your teeth are crooked, stained, misshapen, or there are gaps between your teeth, we can help fix them through any of these treatments:

Dental Veneers

Also called dental porcelain veneers or laminates, dental veneers can help rectify a wide range of dental problems such as chipped or fractured teeth, or badly stained teeth that cannot be whitened by bleaching.

Dental veneers are slim custom-made shells created from tooth-colored materials. These are secured over the front surface of the tooth to cover and improve its appearance. When bonded to the teeth, these thin shells can change their color, size, length, and/or shape according to your needs.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening and bleaching is one of the most standard dental treatments offered at our dental office. This procedure helps to minimize or entirely remove discoloration in your teeth and make them appear as pearly white as possible.

Bleaching of teeth usually includes using hydrogen peroxide gel on the teeth' surface. Although this procedure can be performed at home, it is still recommended to consult professional dentists because they know precisely how to make the teeth whitening results effective.

Bonding

Tooth bonding is the procedure that includes filling the minor gaps and chips in the teeth. The dentist will cement a tooth-colored composite resin to fix the damage. This is an economical solution because it's comparatively cheaper than other cosmetic dental treatments such as veneers and crowns.

Teeth Shaping

Also called enamel shaping, the dentist can reshape the tooth by filing or removing some part of the tooth's enamel. This procedure is usually not painful and can produce instant effects.
