Having teeth that make you want to smile is what most people want. Cosmetic dentistry can help you get to that point. It all begins with good oral hygiene and regular visits to your dentists for exams and cleaning. Lifestyle choices can be hard on your teeth, whether it is sports or coffee. Your teeth may not look their best. Luckily, these days, that is easy to correct.
Teeth whitening
This process can be done in the dental office or at home under your dentist's supervision. The degree of whitening obtained depends on the reason your teeth are discolored. An injured tooth that has become discolored can not be whitened. The peroxide will not work on crowns. With a veneer, any uncovered portion of the tooth can be whitened, but not the veneer itself.
Veneers
Veneers can correct some issues you may have with your teeth:
- Discoloration that can't be whitened
- Worn spots
- Chips
- Badly shaped teeth
- A large gap between teeth
Made from porcelain or composite resin, a veneer is attached to the front of your tooth. A small amount of enamel is removed from the front and side of the tooth. The tooth is measured and the veneer is created. It is bonded to the tooth. The process is slightly different depending on the type of veneer you choose.
Implants
When you are considering cosmetic dentistry in Cambridge, ON, implants are a permanent solution to missing teeth. A titanium post that is placed in your jaw bone becomes the base for a crown that is permanently attached. Eventually, the bone grows onto the implant, making it even more secure. They look and function like your own teeth.
Crowns
A crown is a cover for a natural tooth or an implant. Both types of crowns look and feel natural. With a traditional crown, your natural tooth is filed down to accommodate the cover and a root canal may be performed if needed.
Bridge
A bridge is a fixed partial dental that replaces one or more teeth. You can also get an implant bridge that doesn't involve any of your natural teeth being crowned. Your dentist will present the options to you with recommendations about which is best for you.
