There are many desensitizing toothpastes. Most of my patients get relief from using Sensodyne or Denquel. In this office, we prescribe DayWhite by Discus Dental . People with chipped, cracked or worn teeth can consider either veneers or bonding . Either option can close gaps or disguise discolored teeth that do not respond well to whitening procedures.
Veneers are stronger and have a longer life than bonding, but the process requires more time.
Bonding is a process in which an enamel-like material is applied to a tooth's surface, sculpted to an ideal shape, hardened, and then polished for an ideal smile. This procedure usually can be accomplished in a single visit. Crown or bridge work is best for correcting major functional or structural problems with individual teeth, missing teeth or general bite dysfunction. Implants are being used to successfully replace teeth for people in all age groups - with esthetic and predictable results. This layers of tooth-colored porcelain or resin are bonded directly to the teeth for maximum esthetics and minimum tooth reduction.
