As the school year ends, it’s time for your graduating student to walk across the stage to receive their diploma or degree. It’s an exciting experience as all of their hard work has finally paid off. As you search for the perfect gift to reward them for their efforts, why not give them the smile of their dreams? You can’t put a price on the benefits of having an attractive smile. Here are a few cosmetic treatments that are perfect for graduating students.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic procedure because they correct many issues at once using a minimally invasive method. A veneer is a thin shell that’s applied to the front surface of a tooth to enhance its overall color, size, and shape. When applied to the teeth visible when smiling, veneers can fix many imperfections, like discoloration, chips, and gaps. After just two appointments, they can have a picture-perfect smile that can last for a decade or longer.
Metal-Free Restorations
Metal fillings and crowns can stick out like a sore thumb. A dark restoration doesn’t have to be the focal point of your graduate’s smile. Tooth-colored fillings and crowns blend in with natural teeth, so only a trained dental professional knows they are there. Not only are they more attractive, but they are also biocompatible because they are metal free.
Direct Bonding
Dental bonding is a quick non-invasive procedure that can fix minor imperfections, like decay, chips, or cracks. A composite resin is shaded to match the color of the enamel to blend in with the tooth structure to create natural-looking results. After just 1 appointment, your graduate will have noticeable results.
Teeth Whitening
A professional whitening treatment can get teeth up to 8 shades whiter when used on age-related or surface stains. Your graduate can benefit from results that last for many months or years with the correct aftercare, like brushing and flossing.
Benefits of an Attractive Smile
Your self-esteem can be directly affected by the way your teeth look. If you’re embarrassed by stains, chips, or other issues, you might avoid social settings or hide your teeth when smiling.
Not only can it affect your quality of life, but researchers have found that an attractive smile is important in the professional world. People with beautiful teeth are perceived as being younger, confident, and successful.
You can ensure nothing stands in your graduate’s way of a successful future by giving them the gift of confidence and ensuring their smile is giving the right impression.
