There are a number of reasons to consider cosmetic dentistry. With these procedures, the doctor addresses the esthetic problems with your smile, helping you obtain a more even, bright, and attractive smile. Otherwise, you may continue to feel embarrassed about your smile. What cosmetic options are available? What issues can they address?
5 Reasons to Consider Cosmetic Dentistry
- You have discoloration: If you have stains on your teeth then the doctor can assess the cause and severity. From there, he can recommend take-home trays and a bleaching gel to allow you to remove discoloration from home. However, if the stains are very serious and possibly permanent, then veneers can be used to mask them.
- You have misshapen teeth: If you have misshapen teeth the doctor can address them with a variety of options. Contouring can reshape minor issues in a single visit. A veneer can be placed onto the teeth to reshape them, completely altering the appearance. In addition, a lifelike ceramic crown can also be placed to reshape the tooth.
- You have a “gummy” smile: If you have excessive gum tissue, causing teeth to appear small or uneven, then the doctor can reshape the gum line with non-scalpel radiosurgery.
- You have a chipped tooth: If a tooth becomes chipped we can often correct it in a single visit using dental bonding. A composite resin is used to reshape the tooth, the same we use for our natural looking white fillings.
- There are gaps between your teeth: If you have gaps between your teeth we can: mask them with veneers, close minor ones with dental bonding, or correct your smile’s alignment with ClearCorrect invisible braces.
