Your smile is one of the first things other people notice about you, so you should certainly do all you can to keep it in great shape. But what if you are unhappy with its appearance? Visit your dentist to talk about your options. Cosmetic dentistry can fix many aesthetic imperfections, including the ones listed below. Hopefully, you will soon have a more confident smile!
Misshapen Teeth
Chips and cracks, enamel wear and tear, and even genetics can all cause teeth to become misshapen. Procedures such as veneers and dental bonding can reshape your teeth, covering their imperfections and giving them a more uniform and appealing appearance.
Tooth Discoloration
Discolored teeth can be a source of insecurity. Fortunately, cosmetic dentistry provides various whitening treatments to brighten up your smile. Professional in-office whitening sessions and at-home kits can effectively eliminate stains caused by food, drink, and even smoking. In some cases, severe discoloration should be hidden by bonding or veneers. With expert care, you can achieve a radiant smile that lights up the room!
Misaligned Teeth
Misaligned teeth can affect both the appearance and functionality of your smile. Cosmetic dentistry offers orthodontic solutions, such as braces and clear aligners, to straighten your teeth. These treatments can enhance your natural beauty, improve bite function, and prevent further dental problems.
If your dental misalignment is not threatening your oral health, you might not even need orthodontia. In some cases, veneers can be used to disguise issues like slight crookedness or small gaps between the teeth.
A Gummy Smile
A gummy smile, the problem wherein excessive gum tissue shows when you smile, can be aesthetically displeasing. Gum contouring is a cosmetic procedure that removes a bit of gum tissue, which can make the teeth appear longer and improve the overall proportions of your smile.
Other Issues
Cosmetic dentistry, often in combination with restorative techniques, is almost limitless in what it can achieve. For example, you might choose to get a new lifelike crown to replace an unattractive metal restoration. You may also get a bridge or dental implants to replace lost teeth.
You do not have to dislike your smile! Talk to your dentist about treatments that can enhance your appearance and boost your confidence.
