If you have stained or discolored teeth, but otherwise like your smile the way it is, all you may need are whitening procedures to give you the smile you've always wanted. At-home systems should be individually fitted and monitored by your cosmetic dentist. Before After Problem Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth Treatment Options Teeth that are chipped, cracked or worn can be perfectly restored with ultra thin, specially made laminates or veneers. 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. Before After Problem Missing teeth or general bite dysfunction Treatment Options Missing teeth can be replaced with predictable results using fixed bridges or dental implants. Crown or bridge work is best for correcting major functional or structural problems with individual teeth, missing teeth or general bite dysfunction. Treatment Options Excessive or uneven gums can be corrected with cosmetic surgery, a gum lift, resulting in a more even, pleasing smile.
