Smiling is undoubtedly one of the best beauty remedies. We all aspire to have that warm, picture-perfect smile that makes us feel comfortable about ourselves.
But the issue is that almost no one is born with this kind of smile, and chances are you’re going to change something about your smile to make it better.
Cosmetic dentistry can correct dental flaws you may have to help restore confidence in your smile. It can also help improve your confidence and overall health by fixing several dental problems.
Here are some of the common dental problems that are suitable for cosmetic dentistry:
Having a straighter smile increases your feelings of happiness and confidence. However, if you have crooked teeth, it can cause you to smile less, negatively impacting your self-esteem and confidence. That’s why most people with crooked seek to straighten their teeth through cosmetic dentistry.
Cosmetic treatments such as Invisalign, veneers, and braces are all options for correcting crooked or misaligned teeth. A cosmetic dentist in Hales Corners can recommend the best treatment for your situation.
The most common causes of discolored or stained teeth are poor dental hygiene and consuming stain-causing foods and beverages like soy sauce, red wine, coffee, and tomato-based sauces. Certain medications, smoking, and aging can also make your teeth discolor.
Common cosmetic treatments for improving the color of your teeth include dental bonding, teeth whitening, and porcelain veneers.
Missing one or more teeth could leave a space in your smile and cause your facial structure to appear sunken. This can make your face look less desirable, which can negatively affect your smile. Procedures like bridges, dental implants, and partial dentures are great options for fixing missing teeth.
A gummy smile exposes too much of the upper gums when a person smiles, which can make some people uncomfortable. Fortunately, cosmetic dentistry can help correct this problem. Treatments such as gum reshaping, veneers, and crown lengthening can reduce the amount of gum revealed when smiling.
Teeth grinding, large fillings, and chewing on hard foods can all cause cracked teeth. Cracked or fractured teeth usually cause severe pain, sensitivity, and swelling around the tooth.
Depending on the severity of the crack, your dentist may recommend veneers, a crown, bonding, or other appropriate cosmetic treatment to repair your cracked tooth.
