Dads may put off their own dental care needs to help their child or other family. Whether kids are young or grown, dad still thinks about how to put them first, but in honor of Father’s Day, it’s time to put dad at the head of the pack and make sure he follows through. Oral health needs often grow as we age, and it’s important to tend to your smile at every stage of life, whether you’re a dad who is giving a toddler a piggyback ride or walking a bride down the aisle.
Look Like a Million Bucks on a Budget
Tweak your smile into the best version of itself with an affordable investment. A few small changes will transform any dad’s self-esteem and confidence.
- Dental bonding. Small dental imperfections are easily fixed in this noninvasive dental bonding procedure. Composite material is color-matched to correct discoloration, chips, or other unwanted features.
- Teeth whitening. Teeth whitening remains a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment. If you’re a good candidate for bleaching, the results are staggering, making teeth multiple times whiter.
- Inlays and onlays. A damaged or deteriorating tooth can be fixed with an inlay or onlay which covers a section of the tooth. These partial crowns get the job done and protect a tooth without the need for a full restoration.
Mouth Pain Does Not Go Away on Its Own
Dads often muscle through tooth pain or problems – dentists know better. When there is an issue with your oral health and you have tooth or gum pain, it’s time to get help. Fix what is wrong with the right kind of dental care so you avoid additional dental treatments later.
- Gum disease therapy. Red, swollen, and tender gums are signs of gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease. If the discomfort is even more severe, gum disease is likely and immediate treatment is needed to save your teeth and oral health.
- Dental implants. A missing tooth is not an invisible problem, it’s a sign there is space for a dental implant. Every tooth in your smile has a job – more oral health complications can arise when missing teeth are not replaced.
Look as Young as You Feel
No matter how long you’ve been a dad, taking care of other people can age you. One of the most powerful ways to look younger and happier is with cosmetic dentistry.
- Porcelain veneers. The ultimate cosmetic dentistry treatment, veneers are the way to transform your teeth in length, width, color, and shape so they flatter your smile, face shape, complexion, and age.
- Invisalign. Dads don’t want to sport metal brackets and wires and look like a teenager again, but if you do want an aligned smile, Invisalign and its clear aligners can get you there without the obvious mouth hardware.
Dads deserve healthy, strong, beautiful smiles. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Chi Fu and his dental team at Chester Hill Dentistry in Rye, NY, to get this Father’s Day celebration started.
