Often something as simple as a smile can make or break a first impression. Dental imperfections shouldn’t keep them hidden! Those who worry about the state of their teeth do have recourse to aesthetic dentistry. The progress of modern technology has made cosmetic dentistry a practical and easy solution for many patients. Offices like Aesthetic Dentistry of Stuart even employ dentists with specific experience in the field of cosmetic dentistry to ensure that their patients walk out with a smile they can be proud of.
The type of procedures performed will depend on the health and appearance of a patient’s teeth. Something simple like discoloration can often be fixed through teeth whitening. Teeth that are more damaged can still be completely transformed in appearance via cosmetic bonding and porcelain veneers. These procedures are painless, and do not involve removal of the natural teeth.
Cosmetic bonding uses hard plastic to repair minor chips and cracks and restore broken teeth. The tooth-colored plastic bonds directly to the natural teeth, and can also be used to correct minor discrepancies in size and shape. In cases where more than cosmetic bonding is necessary, veneers can completely change the appearance of chipped or crooked teeth, and fill in gaps between teeth. Because they are shaped and fit to a patient’s smile, porcelain veneers can be fabricated to be indistinguishable from natural teeth.
In more serious cases where a root canal must be performed, a porcelain crown can be fitted over the top to allow for normal chewing and other activity. These can also be custom-fitted to a patient’s mouth. As with veneers, there is no noticeable difference between a correctly installed porcelain crown and a person’s natural teeth in appearance. And the strong dental adhesive used to attach these crowns can allow normal chewing of food for years.
No one should have to suffer pain while enjoying their dinner, and no one should have to hide their smiles. Modern cosmetic dentistry is painless and affordable, and there is a solution for every dental problem.
