\u201cControl what you can and accept what you can\u2019t.\u201d You might have heard this common saying before, and it can be helpful in situations where you have little to no choice in what happens to you. When it comes to flaws in your smile, however, it turns out, there\u2019s practically no limit to what cosmetic dentistry<\/a> can fix! Below you\u2019ll find just some of the issues you may have with your teeth and which treatments can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Cosmetic Cracks and Chips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Through natural wear and tear over time, eating excessively hard food, accidents or injuries, and other circumstances in life, you may end up with little imperfections in your teeth like superficial cracks and chips. Sometimes these flaws aren\u2019t deep enough to fix with a crown or root canal treatment, but they still can take away your smile\u2019s attractiveness. Fortunately, veneers and cosmetic bonding can cover these issues easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veneers tend to look more realistic, but they involve removing a sliver of your front enamel to make room. Meanwhile, cosmetic bonding can usually be applied and completed in just one appointment, but it usually doesn\u2019t last as long as veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discoloration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you see someone with stained or discolored teeth, they can appear older than they really are. A small change to teeth\u2019s brightness can remarkably take years off, making the person look younger and more vibrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common treatment for this problem is professional teeth whitening. Compared to solutions on the shelf at the store or available online, professional-grade whitening results in significantly brighter teeth. Fortunately, some dental offices give you the choice between in-office treatment, which requires about an hour, or take-home kits, which you perform in the convenience of your home over two weeks. Stubborn tooth discoloration can come as a side effect from certain medications, and in this case, covering dentition with veneers or bonding presents the simplest solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crooked Teeth and Gaps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having a perfectly straight set of teeth isn\u2019t just visually appealing\u2014it\u2019s also healthier! Overcrowded and gapped teeth offer places for food debris, plaque, and bacteria to gather on and in between teeth, paving the way for gum infection and cavities. Appropriately spaced teeth are easier to keep clean as well as helps your bite be properly lined up for more jaw comfort and a longer lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For minor cases of misalignment, your dentist may be able to use veneers to correct these teeth slightly. However, most of the time, if significant shifting is needed, Invisalign becomes necessary to guide teeth where they should be with less discomfort than traditional braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Missing Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even lost teeth don\u2019t have to keep you from regaining your confidence. Through coordinating various treatments like dental implants, crowns, and more, your dentist can perform a complete smile makeover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosmetic dentistry can offer treatment to help, even though you may think you have no control over your smile. In fact, a better question would be what issues can\u2019t<\/em> cosmetic dentistry fix? No matter how far gone your teeth may seem right now, don\u2019t give up on your ideal smile. Schedule your cosmetic consultation with your dentist now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
