This technique is considered safe for tooth enamel and effective on deep-seated and surface stains from tobacco and certain foods, and tartar buildup. White spots on teeth can be evened out by microabrasion , a method of shaving down layers of the enamel. If bleaching treatments are not effective enough to satisfy your desire for a gorgeous whiter than white smile, the next step up is bonding or veneers. Even cosmetically altered teeth can get discolored from neglect and food stains. Your dentist will tell you to avoid red wine, coffee, tea, tobacco, berries, and other foods and beverages that can stain teeth over time.
Veneers are more resilient than bonding and also cost about fifty percent more.
Another blossoming area is the realm of dental implants . Implants are commonly used to replace missing or decaying teeth, and also to provide additional support combined with traditional bridges, dentures and crowns. Implants can be an ideal alternative to a bridge for patients who need only one or a few teeth replaced. Bridges attach artificial teeth to existing teeth, but implants attach directly to the jawbone or under the tissues of the gums. The main advantage of dental implants is that they look and feel natural, like your own teeth only better.
