If you have flaws in your smile, you aren’t alone. Plenty of people have them, even sometimes feeling the need to hide their grin. However, with a wide range of imperfections out there, you may be left wondering how cosmetic dentistry can be helpful. Keep reading to learn about three aesthetic issues that are no match for these treatments in getting you to a confident set of teeth you love.
1.) Stains on Your Teeth
For many, they might just want a white smile that’s ready for pictures. Stains can develop because of your diet, habits, or even natural aging. Thankfully, getting a professional whitening treatment can help fight back a yellowing grin.
In this service, your dentist uses a high-quality bleaching gel that targets dark particles on and within your enamel. You can do it in-office for about an hour or get a take-home kit for about two weeks. Both can give you results that are up to eight shades brighter while being safer and more reliable than over-the-counter options.
2.) Damaged Teeth
Whether you ended up with a chipped or cracked tooth because of an injury or hard food, these may be unsightly to many people. If it’s minor, then getting it fixed with cosmetic bonding can help fill in the damage while blending in seamlessly. Slightly bigger ones can benefit from veneers, which cover them behind sturdy porcelain shells.
Although restorative treatments may not fall under cosmetic dentistry, many dentists are considering aesthetics during them. Some damage may be severe, meaning the two services above may not effectively give you your grin back. However, an all-porcelain crown can give you back the function and appearance of your tooth. That way, it blends in perfectly while working just like natural.
3.) Gummy Smile
While your teeth may be the main star of the show, your gums also play an important role! These pink soft tissues frame your smile, perfectly complementing it. However, when they sit too low, your smile may look too “gummy.”
This can be fixed with gum recontouring! Your dentist will use a soft tissue laser to reshape your gumline. It will become more even and leveled out by exposing more of your tooth. That way, the ratio is a bit better than before and helps you feel more confident.
The best way to figure out what treatments are right for you is with a consultation. You can talk to your dentist about your goals, and they’ll come up with a plan that gets you to them!
