Dr. Watson and our dedicated team at Hebron Family Dentistry are pleased to offer a range of cosmetic dentistry solutions to brighten your smile, including teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, and dental veneers. But how can you maintain your bright, beautiful smile after cosmetic treatment? The following are tips to keep your smile at its best. 

Exploring Your Cosmetic Dentistry Options

Here is a look at our featured cosmetic dentistry options that are designed to deliver brighter, whiter smiles: 

• Teeth Whitening: We are pleased to offer professional, in-office whitening options that can brighten your smile several shades in just one office visit. We also offer custom whitening trays and bleaching gel for those who want to whiten their teeth in the comfort of their homes. 
• Cosmetic Bonding: Cosmetic bonding can be an ideal option for teeth that do not respond well to traditional whitening treatments. The procedure involves applying a tooth-colored composite material to your tooth surfaces to correct those little things bothering you about your teeth, instantly perfecting your smile.
• Dental Veneers: Veneers are ultra-thin, porcelain shells we bond to the front surfaces of teeth to mask flaws and imperfections and improve the size, color, shape, or overall appearance of teeth. Your new restorations will instantly brighten your smile. 

How Can You Keep Your Smile Bright After Cosmetic Treatment? 

Here’s a look at some ways to keep your smile bright after cosmetic treatment: 

• Good Home Oral Hygiene: It’s important to brush and floss your teeth regularly, particularly after meals, to remove plaque and keep your smile bright. We recommend using a soft-bristled brush to prevent damage to your tooth enamel or restorations.
• Keep Up with Routine Dental Visits: Keeping up your routine dental cleanings helps remove plaque buildup and surface stains that can dull and discolor your teeth. Your cleaning visits also allow our team to monitor your teeth and address any oral health problems as they surface. 
• Limit Dark Foods and Drinks: A helpful tip to keep in mind is the darker or brighter the food or drink, the more likely it is to stain your teeth. Just as coffee, black tea, red wine, and soy sauce can discolor tooth enamel, they can also discolor your restorations.
• Drink Plenty of Water: Staying hydrated helps keep your smile healthy and bright. Water helps flush away food particles, neutralizes acids, and prevents dry mouth, maintaining a healthy smile and lowering the risk of teeth staining and discoloration.
