If you’re like most people, there are some aspects of your smile that you aren’t exactly happy with. You’ll be happy to learn that cosmetic dentistry is replete with treatments that can help you; in fact, for just about any aesthetic issue you could have with your teeth, there’s probably some procedure that can help you.
If you’re interested in learning more about and what kinds of problems what kinds of problems cosmetic dentistry can address, here are a few examples for you.
Discolored Teeth
Whether you have a bit of a coffee habit, you’re a smoker, or you’ve just noticed that your smile doesn’t shine the way that it did when you were younger, cosmetic dentistry has plenty of ways to help you whiten your teeth.
The most common of these is, of course, teeth whitening. This can change the color of your enamel via the use of a specialized whitening gel. However, veneers and direct bonding can both completely change the way that your smile looks to others, including by altering their color.
Damaged Teeth
It’s almost hard to believe how easy it is to chip or crack a tooth until it happens to you. A single fall or a misguided bite can do permanent damage to your enamel and alter the silhouette of your smile.
While this enamel won’t grow back over time, cosmetic dentistry makes repairing these small imperfections incredibly simple. Direct bonding can cover up chips and cracks in as little as one or two appointments using a tooth-colored composite resin, restoring your tooth to perfection!
Misalignment
Crooked and gapped smiles can seriously sap your confidence, no matter your age. Plenty of adults are unhappy with the alignment of their smile, but feel like the time to get orthodontics has passed them by.
This isn’t true of course—people of any age can benefit from what braces can offer them. However, cosmetic dentistry can also be incredibly useful in this regard. Veneers are sometimes called “instant orthodontics” for their ability to straighten the teeth within as little as two appointments. These thin shards of porcelain can be used to alter the shape, color, and even size of your teeth—giving you the perfectly straight smile you’ve always wanted!
