Do You Need a Smile Makeover?
There are varying degrees of dental work necessary to make your smile the best it can be. And every set of teeth is different. Let's take a look at some of the aspects of a beautiful smile.
Spacing and Alignment
How are your teeth aligned? Good alignment means having teeth that are straight and follow each other naturally. If you had braces as a child , you might have pretty straight teeth.
But if not, you may have crooked teeth or teeth that are set back from the rest. The same goes for spacing. You may have gaps between teeth that didn't fill in when you were a child.
Missing and Chipped Teeth
Chipped teeth can be embarrassing, especially if they're in the front of your mouth. They can also lead to more serious issues like cavities. Chips leave your teeth vulnerable to substances that can break them down or cause pain in the root.
Missing teeth affect your smile. But they also affect the way the rest of your teeth sit in your mouth.
When you lose a tooth, space opens up for the other teeth to move around. This causes issues with the spacing and alignment of the rest of your mouth.
If you're missing a tooth, it also affects how the teeth come together when you bite down. This may not be an issue at first, but as time goes on, it can cause lots of problems. Headaches, cracked teeth, and jaw pain are all issues that can come from a misaligned bite.
Color
One of the most obvious smile issues is the color of your teeth. Fortunately, this is also one of the easiest things to fix. Coffee, wine, and other acidic foods attack the enamel and leave stains behind.
Length and Proportion
The size of your teeth makes a difference. Are Your teeth proportioned to your mouth and to each other?
Many people have one or two teeth that are smaller than the others, making the mouth look lopsided. And if your teeth are abnormally long or short, that can cause a problem too.
The Elements of the Smile Makeover
A smile makeover is different for every patient. And you may not have all the issues discussed in the section above. That's why great cosmetic dentist can tailor your smile makeover to address the issues that bother you.
Here's a look at services that Broadway Cosmetic Dentistry offers to get your smile back on track.
Whitening
For many people, it's as simple as a good, professional whitening job. Dentists are able to use stronger, and more effective methods to whiten than you'd get over-the-counter.
The key to good whitening is not to go too white. But to create a natural and pleasing color for your teeth. At Broadway, we can whiten your teeth in one sitting.
Bonding
If you have chipped teeth, bonding is a great way to save the tooth and make it look whole again. The dentist uses a super strong resin to recreate the missing enamel.
The resin creates a firm bond with your teeth so it's stable and safe. And it's color matched so that it blends right in with the rest of your teeth.
Invisalign
Problems with alignment used to mean you wore wire braces for several years. And braces are sometimes necessary if you have severe issues with teeth placement. But usually, a set of Invisalign trays does the trick.
Each set of trays is specially-made to fit your teeth. They are nearly invisible, making them more discreet than braces. And they're more comfortable than bulky, wire braces.
Plus, with Invisalign, you can take them out to eat and clean your teeth. And they often work faster than braces. Invisalign Usually corrects teeth alignment in about 12 months or half the time of braces.
Veneers
Dental veneers can correct almost any tooth problem you've got. Like other methods, veneers are custom-made for your teeth. The dentist makes veneers from a very thin, strong layer of porcelain.
The porcelain sits over the front of your existing teeth and the dentist bonds it into place. Veneers can reshape a tooth that's too small or too large. And can cover up chipped or worn down teeth.
Implants
If you have one or more missing teeth, dental implants are the way to go .With an implant, the dentist places a titanium post into your jaw where the root of the missing tooth was. On top of the post, they bond a custom-made crown.
Implants work for more than one tooth too. If You have several teeth in a row, they can all bond right to one implant. And They can even replace dentures.
Are You Ready to Revamp Your Smile?
One of the best investments you can make is in your smile. A smile makeover improves the look and feel of your teeth to give you the confidence boost you've been missing.
Make your teeth whiter and brighter white professional whitening. Bonding fixes chipped or broken teeth while saving the root and pulp of the tooth. And Invisalign trays can make your teeth as straight as an arrow.
If you're missing teeth, dental implants filling the gap and complete your smile. And dental veneers are the catchall of cosmetic dentistry. They can fix many problems all at once.
