In short, if you have a problem with the aesthetics of your smile, an experienced cosmetic dentist can provide the solution! We explore this topic in greater detail, today on the clock.
What problem do you have with your smile?
Chipped or cracked teeth: Having a chip or crack can make you very hesitant to show your smile, especially if that tooth is located in a visually prominent place in your mouth. Your cosmetic dentist in Scotts Valley can repair the damage through a bonding treatment or the installation of porcelain veneers. If the damage to your tooth is more significant, other treatment options include a dental crown or an implant.
Discoloration: Your teeth lose some of their gleaming white luster naturally as you age. Frequent consumption of coffee, wine and tea can accelerate this process. So can tobacco use. Your cosmetic dentist can brighten your smile in Los Gatos through a professional teeth whitening procedure. Ebrahimian Integrative Dentistry offers both in-office and at-home treatments.
Older dental restorations: If you have an older dental filling or crown, it can create an unsightly-looking dark patch in your mouth. These fillings may look like metal but they are actually made of a substance called dental amalgam that expands and contracts in response to temperature changes that occur in the mouth when you eat and drink. These amalgam restorations also pose a potential health risk because amalgam often contains mercury. Ebrahimian Integrative Dentistry can replace your older fillings with beautiful metal-free fillings that can be matched to the shade of your other natural healthy teeth.
Missing teeth: Losing a permanent tooth can make you especially self-conscious about your smile. It creates a hole in your smile, while also compromising your chewing ability and possibly leading your teeth to shift into the gap. The premier method of tooth replacement is an implant, which is permanently inserted in the jawbone. No other treatment in restorative dentistry looks, feels and functions more like a natural tooth.
