Top Teeth with Mover and Shaker Dr. Garo Nazarian of Cosmopolitan Dental: Smile Makeover
Dentists can repair and reconstruct teeth that are discolored, crooked, unevenly spaced, too long or too short or worn down. There are a variety of treatment options available to patients.
One option is tooth-colored fillings. Your dentist can restore teeth with cavities with natural looking restorative materials such as composites, porcelain inlays, onlays and crowns. (ooooh Peachy has had this done! When she was 6 she had the two cavities of her life and they were tiny, and Garo expertly replaced them a couple of years ago. They are perfect.) Carefully selecting the right shade of material to go along with the color of teeth is key. Another option is tooth whitening. Teeth become stained and darkened for a variety of reasons which include coffee, tea, wine or smoking. Tooth whitening is a process using bleach that makes the teeth whiter. Your dentist can recommend the whitening treatment (in-office chairside or at-home custom made bleachin trays and kits) that best suits you. A third option to improve your smile includes veneers. These are thin-tooth-colored shells that are bonded or cemented to the front of your teeth, Veneers can be used to fill spaces between teeth, or to cover teeth that are stained, chipped or poorly shaped.
Now is always the right time to get the smile of your dreams. If you hide your smile, worry your teeth will get worse with age, or avoid treatment due to scheduling or costs, you should speak to your dentist and find a solution to make your smile more beautiful.
