Do You Like Your Smile?
Hold a mirror 12" to 14" from your face and smile to show your
teeth. Observe your teeth carefully and then answer the following questions:
- Do
you like the appearance of your teeth, your smile?
- Do the edges of your
front teeth form a downward arc?
- Are they too short or rotated?
- Are your teeth straight?
- Do you have spaces that are unappealing?
- Do you like the color, or shape
of your teeth?
- Are there old fillings or dental work that you don't
like?
- How would you like your teeth to look?
Many Options.
If you answered yes to any of the above, you may want to consider one or
more of the following procedures:
Whitening: The simplest and least expensive
cosmetic procedure you can do to enhance your smile. Whitening can be done
at home, after a quick office visit. It is effective and will make a noticeable
difference.
Composite Resins:
This material is used as a filling for either posterior or anterior teeth.
It is tooth colored and bonded and can structurally reinforce a tooth,
as
compared to silver fillings, which weaken teeth.
Porcelain Veneers: The restoration of choice.
It is a porcelain shell (like a fake finger nail) that is extremely strong.
It doesn't discolor, has natural beauty and depth of color.
Porcelain/Ceramic Crowns: Similar to porcelain
veneers, but encompasses the entire tooth.
Porcelain Onlays and Inlays: When restorations
are needed on back (posterior) teeth we sometimes use these restorations.
An onlay covers the cusps (points) of a tooth while an inlay would be more
like a filling. |
