If you’re expecting a small windfall from the federal government this spring, put your tax refund to good use and make an investment in one item that will last for a long time and make you look younger, smarter, and better too: cosmetic dentistry.
Very often, people get their tax refunds and put them immediately into savings or pay off credit cards. These are admirable choices. Other people choose to use the money for something frivolous. Also a fine choice, but it’s a short-lived joy. What can you do to spend your money wisely but also indulgently? There is an investment that will do you good, professionally, socially, physically, and mentally. By opting for cosmetic dentistry, you are saying yes to good oral health and saying thinks to Uncle Sam for giving you the opportunity to achieve the new smile you’ve always wanted.
Choose the Right Cosmetic Dentistry Procedure
Depending on the size of your tax refund, you may be able to invest in a full-blown smile makeover that aligns your smile, whitens it, lengthens it, and just makes you look like a brand new version of yourself. But smile makeovers don’t have to be in-depth or involve multiple dentistry procedures to count as a makeover. Here are just some of the options – restorative dentistry included – that can give you a new lease on life:
Porcelain veneers: The cosmetic dentistry treatment of the stars, porcelain veneers are designed to fix many oral health problems at once. Hate your short teeth? Veneers will lengthen them. Want to close up gaps or eliminate overlapping teeth? Veneers will get your teeth into alignment. Lament that chipped tooth, cracked enamel, or deep-down stains? Veneers cover the unsightly elements of your smile. Veneers = versatility. Plus, they make you look like a movie star.

Porcelain crowns: You know those few chipped and cracked molars that have been giving you aches and pains, capturing food, and just making your mouth look old? A porcelain tooth crown will save the day, giving you a natural-looking solution to a broken smile and making it easy for you to eat confidently once again. Plus, the crown protects your tooth from infection or further deterioration of the problem tooth or your neighboring teeth.

Teeth whitening: You’ve envied many a white smile, but you’ve never thought to give yourself the benefit of such a treatment. If your stains are on the surface of your teeth, teeth whitening can eliminate them. Your smile doesn’t even have to be perfect to benefit from a whitening treatment. Even a few imperfectly positioned teeth will look better with a teeth whitening treatment. It won’t cost a million bucks, but you sure will look like a million bucks after an hour in the dentist’s chair.

Dental implants: Perhaps you’re tired of your dentures. Maybe you have a few missing teeth. Whatever situation you’re dealing with, dental implants can be the permanent solution to a problem that has thus far seemed insurmountable. You won’t have to worry about soaking dentures anymore, or fearing that your jaw will begin to sink in on itself. Replace the root of your missing tooth – or teeth – with dental implants that stimulate the jaw, make your mouth healthier, restore full functionality to your teeth, and make your smile look amazing.
