Your Cosmetic Dentist Can Repair Damaged Teeth

Life happens, and as it does, one of the things we find is that our teeth become decayed, damaged, or missing, but the good news is that a cosmetic dentist can help. Modern dentistry can restore or replace your teeth and return you to a beautiful smile while having you once again eating your favorite foods. This will boost your confidence in your career, social gatherings, or any other time you leave the house, and that can work wonders for your mental health and quality of life.

Cosmetics is growing in popularity, and one of the reasons is that it is becoming more affordable, and sometimes it may even be covered by your insurance. When you consider what cosmetic dentistry may do to help you avoid costs down the road, it even begins to make financial sense. Having a crown put on a tooth, for example, will likely save that tooth from needing future work or from ever having to be replaced. There is a range of procedures available to your dentist when repairing your teeth.

Dental veneers

When you receive dental veneers, it usually only takes two to three visits, and it is minimally invasive. This procedure is also known as the “smile makeover” because it is performed on your front teeth, which matter most when you smile.

You would first meet with your cosmetic dentist and discuss your treatment plan and if you are certain, the veneers are right for you. If you decide you want the veneers, they will begin preparing your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel and then by making impressions so that they can be custom-made for you in a laboratory.

In about two weeks, you would return to have your veneers bonded to your teeth permanently. They would be adjusted and polished to make sure they are comfortable and feel natural to you. This is a great solution to cracked, crooked, or broken teeth because they can be made to look brand new and perfect.

Dental bridges

If you have lost any front teeth or if you are going to lose them, a dental bridge is another option you may want to consider. Your general dentist would want to make an impression of your front teeth so that the bridge which involves a custom-made replacement tooth can be made in a laboratory. When the bridge is installed, it will permanently restore your bite and help your face keep its natural shape. 

Dental crowns

The beauty of a dental crown is that it can fully cover a tooth that has been decayed or broken and make it not only look brand new but restore full functionality. This will not only allow you to chew food again with that tooth, but it is good for the health of your jawbone because it helps to avoid any deterioration.

When dental crowns are placed on broken or root-canaled teeth, they add integrity and years of life to a tooth. Permanent crowns can be made of metal such as stainless steel, porcelain-fused-to-metal, resin, or ceramic. If you are receiving a crown, you can discuss it with your dentist and find which material is best for you.
