Few people have flawless teeth naturally. Not to mention, many factors can affect their appearance over time. Whether you’re embarrassed by stains, chips, or gaps, you can revamp your smile with cosmetic dentistry. You don’t have to be rich to invest in a picture-perfect smile because there are solutions to fit all budgets. Here’s how you can fix some of the most common aesthetic problems.
Repair Damaged Teeth with Metal-Free Crowns
Teeth are strong, but they aren’t indestructible. Breaks, fractures, decay, and other issues can put you at risk of tooth loss. Metal-free dental restorations are a great solution to repair damaged teeth.
A customized cap is bonded over the entire surface of a tooth above the gum line. This gives it a layer of protection and restores the tooth’s function and appearance. It will blend in with your real teeth, so no one will know it isn’t natural.
Treat Tooth Decay with Tooth-Colored Fillings
You don’t have to worry about a dark filling being the focal point of your smile. Tooth-colored fillings can treat decay. A composite resin is used to repair the tooth. It’s a biocompatible material that doesn’t contain any metals. Although it is metal-free, it is durable and can last for many years. Your dental insurance may even cover some of the costs after meeting your deductible.
Fix Chipped Teeth with Dental Bonding
You can fix chipped teeth quickly with dental bonding. A composite resin is shaded to match the color of your enamel to look natural. In 30 to 60 minutes, you can treat various imperfections, like chips, cracks, and exposed tooth roots. It offers a lot of bang for your buck.
Reverse Tooth Stains with Teeth Whitening
Teeth come in many shades and tones, but they can get darker with age. Take-home teeth whitening can get your pearly whites up to 8 shades brighter. You’ll achieve in-office results from the comfort of your home to take years off the appearance of your teeth.
Fix Many Issues At Once with Veneers
If you have several issues you’d like to address, porcelain veneers may be the solution for you. Bonding veneers to the front surfaces of teeth resolves various problems using one minimally invasive procedure, like stains, chips, and gaps.
It’s never too late to achieve the smile of your dreams. Your cosmetic dentist will create a personalized treatment plan to correct your concerns. You’ll have a dazzling smile that you’ll be proud to show off.
