Since May is so close, the academic year is nearly over. Many high school and college seniors will graduate soon and move on to bigger and better things. That said, now is the perfect time to gift cosmetic dentistry to any such student in your life! Your Aurora dentist can even give you a few great treatment ideas. So, keep reading to learn about four cosmetic dental services that suit the graduating students of 2025!
Teeth Whitening
Most students don’t want to show a yellow smile at their graduation ceremony. That being the case, consider gifting a teeth whitening treatment.
Teeth whitening brightens a patient’s smile directly, using bleaching gel to remove stains from affected enamel. It often comes in two major forms: in-office treatment or take-home kits. The in-office option is ideal for those who are short on time, as it only takes an hour. In contrast, a take-home kit takes a few weeks to work; it’s thus better for those with flexible schedules.
Porcelain Veneers
Is your soon-to-be graduate dealing with many smile flaws at once? In that case, get some porcelain veneers for them!
Porcelain veneers are small, thin shells placed on the fronts of teeth. Once they’ve been properly set, they can hide nearly any kind of smile flaw – chips, cracks, stains, misalignments, and more. Their material – dental-grade porcelain – also ensures their results blend seamlessly with adjacent teeth. In other words, you can expect the shells to look both natural and beautiful.
Cosmetic Tooth Bonding
Rather than something severe, perhaps your student only has a mild fault in their smile. Cosmetic tooth bonding is a good gift idea in that scenario.
For cosmetic tooth bonding, the treatment works by placing tooth-colored resin on teeth. This material is great at hiding a patient’s minor smile flaws – things like small stains, chips, cracks, etc. Once it’s been set and hardened, the treated areas will blend seamlessly with the rest of one’s grin. Their results will also last for years if given proper care.
Cosmetic Gum Sculpting
If a student wants to avoid a “gummy smile” at graduation, your best bet is to get them cosmetic gum sculpting. This procedure would handily address their main concern.
Gum recontouring is a treatment that removes “extra” gum tissue from the mouth. Using a dental laser, it gets rid of this excess portion to reveal more of your smile’s white enamel. The overall process is quick, painless, and low-cost, yet its effects are gorgeous and permanent. Your graduate would enjoy the results long after their ceremony is over.
