Have you tried numerous over-the-counter products from your
pharmacy, but are still unable to return the youthful, pearly-white shine to
your smile? Do you have one or more teeth that are chipped, but aren’t sure
what’s the best way to fix it? Cosmetic dentistry has a wealth of solutions to
most issues concerning your smile’s appearance. If you wish your smile were
brighter, straighter, or generally more appealing, then ask your Grand
Prairie dentist, Dr. Quinn Smith, how cosmetic dentistry can help you.
How does teeth whitening erase stains?
Though teeth stains are the most common cosmetic complaint,
they’re also the easiest to address, at least in most cases. Professional teethwhitening consists of a highly-potent bleaching agent that eradicates stains on
the semi-translucent surface of your teeth, while oxidizing and brightening the
underlying tooth structure.
Can you fix crooked teeth without braces?
Crooked teeth, or malocclusion, occur in degrees of
severity. When one or more of your teeth aren’t as straight as the rest, they
might affect only your smile’s appearance, or they might inhibit the balance
and function of your bite, depending on how out of alignment they are. In many
cases, porcelain veneers can be bonded to the front surfaces of crooked teeth,
improving their appearance without the need for orthodontic braces.
Can cosmetic dentistry fix a chipped or cracked tooth?
If you have a chipped tooth, its edges may contrast with the
contour of your smile. As long as the damage doesn’t threaten the tooth’s
health by exposing its sensitive inner tissues, it may be fixed with a
noninvasive dental bonding or porcelain veneer procedure. For more serious
chips and cracks, Dr. Smith may recommend placing a dental crown, or cap, over
the tooth.
