Why Should I Get Cosmetic Dentistry? - What You Should Know
|
Thankfully there are a number of cosmetic dentistry options out there that can help you. Below is a basic rundown of some cosmetic problems that can affect your smile and how cosmetic dentistry can help you. I have stained/yellowed teeth This is a common problem many people have, actually. There are so many beverages and substances that can have a negative impact on your smile. Wine, coffee, tea, and soda can leave lasting stains on teeth over time, and use of tobacco products will have a similar (and often more serious) staining affect. The aging process and medications can also change the color of your teeth. Teeth whitening is one of the best ways to remedy this problem. I have chipped/cracked teeth Chips and cracks can happen to anyone, whether it be through tooth decay or through some sort of accident. For less severe chips an cracks, there is dental bonding and onlays or inlays. For more severe chips and cracks, porcelain veneers may be for the best, as they can mask a number of mor serious dental problems (including more serious stains on teeth). I have missing teeth Missing teeth are a major problem. As mentioned above, they can cause more serious problems with your teeth over time, including gradual misalignment of adjacent teeth. To remedy this, dentures or dental bridges are often used, though a more permanent solution is dental implants. Those who receive dental implants will find that they are sturdier and more permanent than dentures or dental bridges, but it should be noted that not everyone is a candidate for dental implants. I have misaligned teeth If you have misaligned teeth, braces would be the usual treatment option to consider, though there are other remedies for tooth misalignment to consider. For minor misalignments, you ought to consider porcelain veneers. For more sever misalignments, Invisalign may be best for you. The fact that Invisalign is virtually invisible makes it an attractive option to many patients. That said, Invisalign can only accomplish so much, so people with serious problems with crooked teeth may need braces rather than veneers or Invisalign.
