There is more to dentistry than cleanings and filling cavities. The appearance of your smile is important too, and cosmetic dentistry provides help in improving your look. These dentists enhance smiles through a variety of procedures and treatments aimed at transforming a dull or damaged smile into one of beauty. Cosmetic dentists tend to see a lot of the same types of dental problems, and offer options for correcting them.
Misaligned teeth
Teeth that are crowded or just don’t line up together correctly can look unsightly, as well as create stress on the jaw. Common solutions include veneers, crowns, or braces.
Discolored teeth
Various habits like consuming foods or drinks that stain, smoking, or practicing poor dental hygiene can lead to discolored teeth. Cosmetic dentistry comes to the rescue with treatments like veneers, crowns, or teeth whitening. In fact, teeth whitening is one of the most popular treatments in cosmetic dentistry because it can offer dramatic improvements to your smile in a short time, especially if you choose professional methods. Home methods can also be effective in a longer timeframe with consistent use.
Gummy smile
When you have an excessive amount of gums showing when you smile, it’s referred to as a gummy smile. Some possible treatments to improve this are gum contouring, veneers, crowns, lip surgery, braces, or Botox treatment.
Worn teeth
Teeth that are worn down are more prone to tooth decay and loss. They can be restored using veneers, crowns, or bonding.
Gaps
Large spaces between your teeth can be embarrassing. Braces, veneers, or crowns are all options that cosmetic dentists use to eliminate gaps.
Missing teeth
Holes in your smile due to missing teeth can lower your self-esteem and cause exposure to bacteria or decay. Dental implants, bridges, or dentures are options for restoring smiles.
