Does your smile look dull and tired? Maybe it has suffered from prolonged caffeine intake through dark drinks, chocolate and other foods? Or perhaps it has been damaged, through over-intense brushing, impact damage or other accident? Whatever the reason, your smile can be restored to its former glory through several techniques that are available by a cosmetic dentist.
Our smile is a key factor in instilling confidence; if we feel confident in ourselves, then those we interact with will similarly have more confidence in us. However, many of us feel self-conscious if our smile isn’t attractive.
Whether its tooth staining that requires treatment through teeth whitening, or physical repairs to the tooth enamel, a cosmetic dentist can address a range of problems to give you back the smile you once had, and help restore your confidence.
Teeth whitening treatment is the best solution to treating teeth that look dull and jaded. Over time, our teeth can lose their sparkle through a range of factors, such as diet, lifestyle, medications or simple wear and tear. Teeth whitening treatments can bring about a dramatic improvement in the brilliance of the tooth’s whiteness in a short time.
Tooth whitening can be performed at home through kits, or in a dental office, and the treatment venue is often determined by the level of staining and the patient’s desired results.
Teeth that are misshaped or uneven in appearance will benefit from dental veneers. Veneers are thin, tooth-shaped slivers of porcelain that are applied onto the front of problem teeth to reshape your smile. A dentist strips away a small amount of tooth enamel and bonds the dental veneer into place to provide a natural look.
Veneers treat a range of aesthetic dental imperfections, and can be used to conceal chipped or broken teeth, or teeth that are badly affected by staining. They can also close unsightly gaps between teeth, and can be blended to match the shape and shade of your natural teeth.
For more serious restorations, a cosmetic dentist may use such techniques as dental crowns or dental implants. Dental crowns are normally used to conceal badly damaged teeth, or as a support for a dental bridge, while dental implants are used to provide a natural replacement for lost teeth.
