Cosmetic Dentistry Problems

• While the teeth are known for a few important
  things, such as masticating food and breaking
  them down into digestible particles so that they
  may be utilized by the body well and allowing
  individuals to form certain sounds when the teeth
  come into contact with the lips and the tongue.

• The presence of the teeth in mouth offer so
  much. When stable and intact, a complete set of
  teeth can hold the bite and maintain facial
  integrity but most of all, a perfect set of
  teeth will give the individual a smile that is
  attractive

• The work that dentists perform in the clinic are
  no longer just limited to the correction and
  treatment of disease. Cosmetic Dentistry, a
  fairly new discipline, resolves issues that
  patients may have with their smile.

• The following are some of the brilliant
  techniques that dentists prescribe to patients to
  correct all kinds of cosmetic dentistry problems

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Stains and Discolorations

• Teeth stains and discolorations develop in the
  teeth through different ways. Stains and
  discolorations may be resolved through teeth
  whitening, but when the problem is deeply
  embedded in the tooth, a simple bleaching
  procedure may not be enough. Sometimes, when the
  staining is more severe some crowning and veneer
  work may be necessary.

Spaces in Between Teeth

• Spaces may develop as an inherent anatomical
  condition or it may be due to the drifting of
  teeth that follows after a tooth extraction.
  These spaces will make the smile look uneven and
  it will also disrupt the bite, so closing these
  will be important.

• Diastema or spaces may be closed through
  orthodontic treatment, but if the patient is
  looking for a more immediate answer, he can opt
  for a dental bonding, dental crowning or dental
  veneer work. These dental procedures will help
  close teeth gaps and make the smile look more
  attractive.

Cracked, Fractured or Broken Teeth

• When a tooth is cracked, broken and fractured
  because of decay or an accidental blow, the
  restoration it should receive will based on the
  severity of the damage. A small break on the
  tooth should be resolved easily with a dental
  filling, but if the damage is so much bigger, a
  dental crown will be a better restorative option
  because it can reinforce the tooth and make it
  stronger.

Malpositioned and Misaligned Teeth

• When the teeth are improperly aligned and
  positioned, the smile will look uneven and
  unattractive. A patient who dreams of a perfect
  smile will seek the expertise of a cosmetic
  dentist, to be able to receive an orthodontic
  treatment with the use of dental braces or of
  Invisalign or he may ask for dental bridges or
  dental veneers as a means to achieve immediate
  results.

Missing Tooth or Teeth

• When a tooth or a few teeth are missing,
  especially if this is in the anterior portion of
  the smile, replacing them will be very important
  so that the patient can still smile. Missing
  anterior teeth will give a person an unattractive
  smile and when a patient comes in for a
  procedure, the dentist can prescribe removable
  dentures, dental bridges or dental implants.
  Either of these options will successfully replace
  lost tooth or teeth to fill in gaps. This will
  restore the smile and the perfect function of the
  mouth.
