Cosmetic imperfections can take away from your\noverall beauty, but they can also negatively impact your confidence. However,\ncosmetic dentistry allows patients to turn back time, erasing numerous flaws\nwhile achieving the smiles of their dreams. Read on to learn more about the\nmost common cosmetic dental flaws and what your dentist can do to help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1. Stained or Discolored Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you grow older, your teeth go through natural wear and\ntear from eating, speaking, and smiling. However, routinely drinking dark\nliquids like wine or regularly using tobacco products can cause yellowing and\ndiscoloration in your smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist offers professional teeth whitening as a way to\nerase discoloration. They use a professional grade whitening gel that reaches\nbeneath the surface of your enamel, removing tough stains that over-the-counter\nproducts couldn\u2019t touch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2. Cracked or Broken Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a tooth that\u2019s cracked, broken, or misshapen, it\ncan take away from the appearance of the rest of your smile. Plus, it may make\nit harder to chew, and it can even affect your bite in the future, leading to\nadditional problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, your dentist can provide you with cosmetic bonding\nor dental crowns to correct this problem. Cosmetic bonding uses tooth-colored\nresin to repair areas of the smile, and it can be sculpted to match the rest of\nyour enamel. For serious damage in a tooth, a dental crown can cover the entire\nvisible portion, strengthening and protecting it for the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3. Crooked Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A crooked smile can not only impact your appearance, but it\nalso makes it more difficult for you to remove plaque and food debris in\ncrowded places. Thankfully, your dentist can use Invisalign to give you a\nstraight set of teeth without the hassle or discomfort of braces. If you have\njust one crooked or misaligned tooth, veneers can be used. This option won\u2019t\ncorrect your alignment, but it will conceal the crookedness to give you the\nlook of a beautifully straight set of teeth. Plus, porcelain veneers take just\ntwo appointments to complete!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4. Chipped or Gapped Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chipped or gapped teeth can impact your self-esteem, making\nit more difficult to smile, even when you want to! But there are various\ncosmetic dentistry options that can make these issues disappear! Porcelain\nveneers are thin shells of dental porcelain that can correct the size and shape\nof your teeth, perfect for significantly chipped or gapped parts of your smile.\nCosmetic bonding can erase slight gaps and small chips for a beautiful grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oakridgedentalsanramon.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">cosmetic\ndentistry<\/a>, what are you waiting for?
