If the teeth are in a poor state and appear embarrassing, smiling can be difficult —if not impossible — but there are cosmetic dental treatments that can help.
The awkwardness of showing stained, missing, chipped or discolored teeth cause self-consciousness that may affect your ability to show your excitement expressively. If you are not satisfied with your smile, the following five common cosmetic dental treatments can help improve your smile.
Dental implants are prosthetic teeth surgically inserted into the jaw. Dentists typically suggest dental implants to replace missing teeth, especially when bridges or other teeth restoration procedures are unsuitable or impossible.
Rather than depend on the adjacent teeth for support, dental implants go directly into the jaw. The tiny titanium screws remain rooted to support the prosthetic crown. This makes them a strong and durable option for teeth restoration that blends in with the remaining teeth.
Veneers are one of the simpler cosmetic dental treatments, yet they can remarkably alter the outlook of your teeth in positive ways. Veneers are thin sheets of porcelain layered on the teeth to enhance their appearance and shape. The durable treatment masks flaws on the teeth and significantly improves the appeal of the smile.
If your teeth are stained, cracked, chipped or mildly crooked, then porcelain veneers are a perfect way to enhance your teeth.
Lumineers are a variety of veneer. They are extremely thin and can be attached to the natural teeth without any special preparation. Lumineers are an excellent choice for patients who are reluctant about reducing their natural teeth or desire a non-porcelain-based treatment.
A glowing, bright, white smile is a thing to covet. Yet, our lifestyle choices often prevent sparkling teeth: Coffee, tea, red wine and cola are all consumables that can permanently discolor the teeth surfaces and make them unappealing.
Teeth whitening presents you with an inexpensive, impactful method of improving the quality of your smile. Teeth with mild to moderate stains can be fixed with in-office whitening. If you prefer to do it at home, the dentist may provide you with whitening trays that will produce similar results.
If you experience teeth sensitivity and are worried about the aftermath of whitening, the dentist will offer options for sensitive teeth during your consultation.
If your teeth are discolored, stained or cracked, then you can opt for ceramic crowns as a painless and non-surgical way to enhance your smile.
Crowns are “caps” placed on the tooth to improve its appearance and protect it from further damages. The crowns are custom-made for the teeth from porcelain and usually blend in with the shape and color of the surrounding teeth. Porcelain is a durable material that is highly resistant to stains.
With cosmetic dental treatments, improving your smile does not have to be hard. Simply reach out to the cosmetic dentist to discuss options that will help restore your teeth’s luster.
