We do\nour best to be prepared for seasonal traveling, catching up with friends and\nfamily, cooking the traditional holiday meal, and braving the mall to find the\nperfect gift. While you may feel on top of your to-do list, how prepared is\nyour smile? Many people are embarrassed or insecure about how their teeth look,\nand studies indicate that 28% of people refuse to smile in pictures entirely\nbecause of it. This year, gift yourself the smile you\u2019ve always wanted and see\nyour cosmetic dentist in Mesquite. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcknightdental.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">Cosmetic services<\/a>\nlike teeth whitening, bonding, tooth-colored fillings, and porcelain veneers\ncan give you a picture-perfect smile just in time for the holidays!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Teeth Whitening  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people don\u2019t realize how discolored their teeth have gotten until they see their picture on the outgoing Christmas card! You could spend hours browsing through hundreds of over-the-counter teeth whiteners and still end up with subpar results and irritated gums. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, get your teeth professionally whitened by your\ndentist in as little as a single appointment, or whiten your teeth on your own\ntime with a take-home treatment plan designed by your dentist. Professional\nteeth whitening can give you better results with no tooth sensitivity or gum\nirritation in a fraction of the time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonding and Tooth-Colored Fillings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If a chip or crack is what\u2019s keeping you from showing off\nyour holly-jolly smile, a single trip to your cosmetic dentist can rebuild your\nconfidence. Direct bonding uses a natural-looking composite resin to fill in\ncracked or chipped tooth enamel seamlessly. It can reshape your tooth to create\na flawless smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A front tooth with a cavity or other damage can be painful\nas well as unsightly. Tooth-colored fillings strengthen broken tooth structure\nwith minimal impact on appearance. These metal-free restorations are durable and\nblend in with your surrounding teeth for unnoticeable support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you sometimes wish you could completely redo your smile?\nMaybe your teeth have larger chips or cracks, darker discolorations or stains,\nor slight gaps and misalignments that direct bonding and tooth-colored fillings\ncan\u2019t fully improve. If that sounds familiar, give yourself the gift of\nporcelain veneers and get a silver-screen ready smile! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Porcelain veneers are famously used to give movie stars like\nMorgan Freeman, Miley Cyrus, Tom Cruise and many more perfect smiles for the\nbig screen, and now you can smile like the stars too! These ultra-thin, custom\nmade shells of porcelain completely cover the front of your teeth, hiding any\ncosmetic imperfections with a flawless veneer. In just two appointments with\nyour dentist, you can walk away with a set of pearly whites that you can\u2019t wait\nto show off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a little time this year to make sure you and your smile\nare ready for the holidays! A quick visit or two to your Mesquite dentist could\ngive you that picture-perfect smile you\u2019ve always wanted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dr. Byron McKnight is a general, restorative, and\ncosmetic dentist based in Mesquite, TX.
