Are you re one of the many people who are suffering from teeth problems which is affecting your self confidence? If so, you should know that there are various ways in which a cosmetic dentist can improve on your smile.
Below are some techniques and methods used in order to improve on the way your existing teeth appear:
Porcelain Crowns
These are caps that are shaped in the same way as a tooth and are fitted over the space of an entire tooth. These simple yet effective methods can improve your smile. If you have teeth that have decayed, porcelain crowns may be the best option for you. This method of cosmetic dentistry is additionally recommended for teeth that have chipped or broken off.
Dental Veneers
This a porcelain shell that is made to fit a particular size and shape of one or more of your teeth. Veneers can improve the length, size, shape and color or the existing tooth. Veneers work by having the existing enamel shaved off the tooth in order to make space for the dental veneer.
Before choosing any type of cosmetic dentistry methods it is wise to consult with your dentist on the best methods that will suite your dental problems.
Dental veneers are used to cover the surfaces of teeth to enhance their appearance.
A veneer is a thin shell made of porcelain or plastic resin material which is used to cover the surfaces of teeth. In order to create room for the veneer a small amount of tooth structure must first be removed. Two appointments are generally required. During the first appointment the teeth are prepared, molds are made, and the color for the veneers is chosen. Temporary veneers may also be made at this appointment.
Once the veneers have been fabricated in our dental lab they are ready for bonding onto the prepared tooth surfaces. Veneers are an excellent restoration that can change the appearance of the teeth and give you a beautiful and natural smile.
