How can cosmetic dentistry help me to improve my smile?

Our general dentists offer a range of treatments to help their patients enhance the beauty of their smiles. No matter what the problem is with your teeth, a cosmetic dentist can work with you to find a solution that is both functional and beautiful. Here are a few common dental problems that cosmetic dentistry can help to solve.
 
Stained teeth
 
Stains on your teeth can be caused by smoking, drinking red wine or black coffee, or eating certain foods. Even if you are careful to avoid all the above, stains can build up over time. Cosmetic dentists offer teeth whitening procedures that use hydrogen peroxide gel to remove stains. The process is carefully controlled to ensure that the whitening chemicals that are used do not damage the teeth.
 
Cracks and chips
 
It is amazing how much just one chipped tooth can dent your confidence. Veneers can cover up teeth that are affected by cracks, chips, or extensive staining. Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that are fitted to the front edge of a tooth, creating the appearance of a flawless smile.
 
Dental decay
 
Almost everyone needs to have a tooth filled every once in a while. The most attractive option for repairing a cavity is to use a dental composite, also known as a white filling. Many dentists now offer white composite fillings as an alternative to traditional metal fillings.
 
Missing teeth
 
There are now many options for replacing missing teeth. A single missing tooth can be replaced using a dental bridge, which uses the two adjacent teeth to support a false tooth that fills the gap. Alternatively, a dental implant can be fitted directly into the gum.
 
For people who have lost many or all of their teeth, titanium implants can be fitted beneath the gum line to support realistic-looking crowns. Many people find that these implants feel more comfortable and stable than dentures. Dental implants are a great option for rebuilding the smiles of people who have been affected by tooth loss.
 
If you feel that your teeth are holding you back from being the confident person you want to be, do not hesitate to contact a cosmetic dentist. There are options available to treat almost any dental problem and enhance the appearance of your smile.
