When you look in the mirror, are you happy with the appearance of your smile? It can be difficult to show off your pearly whites when you don’t feel confident. The good news is that there are various cosmetic dental services available to help you achieve a smile that you are proud to show off. Your dentist can correct various cosmetic flaws. Here are some of the most common ones.
Tooth Discoloration
This is one of the most common cosmetic problems that people have with their smiles. It can be caused and worsened by various factors, like cigarettes, coffee, and red wine. Discoloration is also a natural part of getting older. The good news is that with your dentist, in-office and take-home professional teeth whitening are available to brighten your smile up to eight shades in a short period of time.
Crooked Teeth
Not everyone naturally develops a straight smile. In addition to not being as aesthetically pleasing, misalignment can make it difficult to thoroughly clean your teeth. This increases your risk of gum disease and tooth decay. The good news is that you don’t need traditional braces to straighten your smile. Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to slowly shift the teeth into their rightful locations. This way, you can achieve a straighter smile discreetly.
Uneven Teeth
Irregularly shaped teeth can be caused by multiple factors, like genetics and teeth grinding. This can make you appear older, and you could end up with issues related to your jaw and facial structure. Gum recontouring can be used to remove excess gum tissue and leave you with an even gumline. Dental bonding and veneers are also options to even out the chewing surfaces of your teeth, leaving you with a balanced, proportionate smile.
Broken Teeth
Whether you have some small chips or larger breaks, there are various possible solutions. Small cracks and chips can be addressed with dental bonding. For larger issues, your dentist might be able to preserve the healthy tooth structure with a veneer or dental crown. If your tooth is beyond repair, you and your dentist can discuss tooth replacement options, like dental implants, to restore your smile.
No matter what is bothering you about your smile, your dentist can help you achieve your goals. Schedule a consultation with your dentist so you can put together a plan to best meet your needs.
