You may be wondering if cosmetic dentistry is worth it and if it can help you fix some of the oral health issues that are bothering you. While cosmetic dentistry can't fix serious problems like missing teeth or infections, it can help improve your smile and boost your confidence.
In this article, we will explain how cosmetic dentistry can help and why you should consider it for certain oral health issues.
Most people think that cosmetic dentistry is all about improving the appearance of their teeth. However, this type of dentistry can also help in treating some common and minor oral health problems.
Cosmetic dentistry can help you fix minor enamel chipping. Depending on your case, the dentist will use veneers or dental bonding to restore the function, shape, and aesthetics of the tooth.
If your teeth are just slightly crooked, then you can consider veneers to correct their alignment. Not only will you end up with a straight and beautiful smile, but veneers can also help improve your dental hygiene as it will become easier to brush and floss your teeth.
If you have uneven teeth, then veneers or dental bonding might be the right solution for you. Uneven teeth can cause problems with your bite, which leads to premature tooth decay. However, depending on the severity of the problem, you may be a better candidate for Invisalign or other orthodontics rather than cosmetic dentistry.
Here are some of the cosmetic dental procedures that your dentist may recommend for you.
If your teeth are stained or discolored, then a teeth whitening treatment can brighten your smile and provide you with extra motivation to keep your teeth healthy. At Jax Dental Studio, we offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening solutions.
This procedure consists of painting the teeth with a special dental resin that is hardened with UV light. Dental bonding can help to strengthen your teeth and beautify your smile.
Veneers can help treat a wide variety of issues, such as gaps between teeth, uneven teeth, or badly discolored or stained teeth. They do require the removal of enamel before placement, making them a permanent procedure.
Lumineers are very similar to veneers, the main difference being that they are very thin. Because they are so thin, they can be placed without removing the natural tooth enamel.
For the best cosmetic dentistry procedures, we welcome you to JAX Dental Studio, where Dr. Charles Poblenz will make sure you get the most appropriate treatment for your oral health. We will perform a comprehensive exam and decide together what type of treatment works best for you.
