When the multi-platinum recording artist, songwriter and TV personality Jason Derulo was recently asked about his ideal woman, his answer covered a remarkably broad spectrum. “There\u2019s no specific thing,” he said, “so I think it\u2019s unfair to say what my \u2018type\u2019 is.” But it turns out that there is one<\/em> thing the So You Think You Can Dance<\/em> judge considers essential: A beautiful smile.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not into messy teeth,” Derulo said. “If the grill has spaces and different colors, it\u2019s not my vibe.”<\/p>\n

As it turns out, he may be on to something: A number of surveys have indicated that a bright, healthy smile is often the first thing people notice when meeting someone new. Yet many are reluctant to open up that big grin because they aren\u2019t satisfied with the way their teeth look. If you\u2019re one of them, consider this: Modern cosmetic dentistry offers a variety of ways to improve your smile \u2014 and it may be easier and more affordable than you think.<\/p>\n

For example, if your smile isn\u2019t as bright as you would like it to be, teeth whitening is an effective and economical way to lighten it up. If you opt for in-office treatments, you can expect a lightening effect of up to 10 shades in a single one-hour treatment! Or, you can achieve the same effect in a week or two with a take-home kit we can custom-make for you. Either way, you\u2019ll be safe and comfortable being treated under the supervision of a dental professional \u2014 and the results can be expected to last for up to two years, or perhaps more.<\/p>\n

If your teeth have minor spacing irregularities, small chips or cracks, it may be possible to repair them in a single office visit via cosmetic bonding. In this process, a liquid composite resin is applied to the teeth and cured (hardened) with a special light. This high-tech material, which comes in colors to match your teeth, can be built up in layers and shaped with dental instruments to create a pleasing, natural effect.<\/p>\n

If your smile needs more than just a touch-up, dental veneers may be the answer. These wafer-thin coverings, placed right on top of your natural teeth, can be made in a variety of shapes and colors \u2014 from a natural pearly luster to a brilliant “Hollywood white.” Custom-made veneers typically involve the removal of a few millimeters of tooth enamel, making them a permanent \u2014 and irreversible \u2014 treatment. However, by making teeth look more even, closing up spaces and providing dazzling whiteness, veneers just might give you the smile you\u2019ve always wanted.<\/p>\n
