For these and many other reasons,
aesthetic dentistry has become a vital and important part of the
dental profession.
Common aesthetic dental procedures can be performed to correct
misshaped, discolored, chipped or missing teeth. They also can be
used to change the overall shape of teeth-from teeth that are too
long or short, have gaps, or simply need to be reshaped.
Some common procedures involve:
Bonding - A procedure in which tooth-colored material is used to
close gaps or change tooth color.
Contouring and reshaping - A procedure that straightens crooked,
chipped, cracked or overlapping teeth.
Veneers - A procedure in which ultra-thin coatings are placed over
the front teeth. Veneers can change the color or shape of your
teeth. For example, veneers have been used to correct unevenly
spaced, crooked, chipped, oddly shaped or discolored teeth.
Whitening and bleaching - As the term implies, whitening and
bleaching, a rapidly increasing procedure, are used to make teeth
whiter.
A dental exam and consultation will take many factors into
consideration for selecting the best solution for you. |
