As a mom, you always put your family and kids first – it’s a busy job! but we hope you know that it’s equally important to take some time for yourself! Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, and if you’re unhappy with it, your confidence can take a real hit. At Proud To Smile Dentistry, we specialize in cosmetic dental treatments, and we’re here to answer some common questions moms (and dads!) have about enhancing their smiles.
What are the most popular cosmetic dental procedures among moms?
One of the most popular dental treatments among moms at our practice is clear aligner therapy (such as with Invisalign, but we also work with other aligner brands). We love the discreet, hassle-free way clear aligner therapy offers big changes to our patients smiles! Other popular treatments include teeth whitening, dental bonding, and veneers. Teeth whitening is a quick and effective way to brighten your smile, while veneers (and dental bonding) can help correct a variety of dental imperfections.
How can cosmetic dentistry fit into my busy schedule?
We understand that you are always on the go and juggling multiple schedules, so we work hard to be flexible with appointment times. Many cosmetic procedures, like teeth whitening, can be completed in a single visit, and others, like Invisalign, require fewer appointments than traditional orthodontics. Our goal is to make it as convenient as possible for you to achieve the smile you desire.
Are cosmetic dental treatments safe during pregnancy?
It’s always best to consult with both your dentist and obstetrician before undergoing any dental treatment during pregnancy. While some cosmetic procedures, like teeth whitening, are typically postponed until after pregnancy, others, like certain types of veneers or bonding, may be safe. Your dentist will provide personalized recommendations based on your specific situation.
How can improving my smile boost my confidence?
Great question! A beautiful smile can have a profound impact on your confidence. When you feel good about your teeth, you’re more likely to smile and engage with others, which can positively affect both your personal and professional life.
Are cosmetic dental treatments affordable?
Cosmetic dental treatments are an investment in yourself, but we offer a range of treatments to fit different budgets. Additionally, we can collaborate with you to develop a payment plan and will work with your insurance provider (if applicable) to make the most of your benefits. For example, many insurance plans will cover up to $1500 of orthodontics for adults!
How can I maintain my new smile after treatment?
Maintaining your new smile is simple with good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing. We also highly recommend that you keep up with your dentist for routine check-ups and cleanings. We also offer professional advice and products to help you keep your smile looking its best. Veneers can last 20 years (or more!) and need minimal maintenance.
Everyone deserves to feel confident and happy with their smile. Our office is conveniently located in Downtown Bernardsville, NJ and we are here to give you that confident smile with cosmetic dental treatments that fit your lifestyle. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward enhancing your smile. We look forward to helping you achieve the smile of your dreams!
