Congratulate Your Grad with A Cosmetic Dental Treatment!

Whether your loved one is about to receive their high school diploma, bachelor’s degree, or Master’s, a cosmetic dental treatment can be a great way to prepare them for the next exciting chapter in their lives!

“Now wait a minute,” you might be thinking. “A dental gift. Really?”

Really! To find out why and get some ideas, just keep reading.

Is Cosmetic Dentistry a Boring Gift?

Think of it this way: your grad is going to meet a lot of new people, and you’re both going to want plenty of pictures. But dental flaws can make people feel self-conscious. What you’re actually gifting them is the confidence to smile wide and make an impression. They’ll be empowered to dazzle peers and job interviewers alike. Makes sense now, huh?

Cosmetic Dentistry Options That are Sure to Impress

But where do you even start? There are many dental cosmetic options, so it’s understandable if you need some direction. Here are some of the more popular treatments:

• Teeth Whitening. Nothing beats the stunning brilliance a professional whitening treatment can give teeth. You’ll love the photos, and your grad will love the aesthetics!
• Porcelain veneers. Dental veneers are thin shells your dentist adheres to the front of your tooth. They’re great for concealing multiple flaws at once while also providing some extra enamel protection.
• Crowns or Fillings. You might be thinking of traditional metal crowns and fillings. Don’t scroll too fast! Today, you can get tooth-colored versions of this treatment. So smooth over dental damage with an aesthetic touch!

Of course, cosmetic services are very personal. You’ll want to ask your grad how they want to enhance their teeth. If your question is subtle, you could keep the treatment a surprise!

Helping Your Grad Maintain Their New Teeth

Maybe you still want to do more for your grad. Consider throwing in some items that can help them maintain their new look! Here are just a few ideas:

• Waterpik. You know that tool your dentist uses to spray your teeth with water? A Waterpik is kind of like that! You use it to gently floss out harmful bacteria. It’s incredibly effective, and believe it or not, quite trendy right now.
• Electric toothbrush. This isn’t just a lazy-man’s toothbrush. Electric toothbrushes clean teeth better than regular brushes and can actually have some fun features. They can even play music!
• Toothbrush sanitizer and travel case. If you’re planning on gifting a fancy toothbrush, consider adding a toothbrush sanitizer or travel case to help it stay hygienic for longer.

Whatever combination of graduation gifts you decide on, remember to ask your dentist for recommendations! They’ll know which products are the good ones and can help you and your loved one choose the best cosmetic dental treatment for them. Your dentist will be happy to assist you with this heart-warming project!
