If you have a damaged tooth, perhaps due to trauma or infection, the dentist will work with you to choose the proper smile makeover plan to adjust your smile. The goal is to restore the function of the teeth while making them cosmetically appealing. The treatment strategy will meet your specific needs and achieve the desired result.
A smile makeover for a damaged tooth can comprise a combination of the following standard treatment options.
Getting porcelain veneers can be a quick approach to improving the smile. Veneers are a popular cosmetic treatment that conceals dental flaws with thin, handcrafted porcelain shells. Misalignment, uneven size, chipping, discoloration, cracks, and gaps are common on the front surfaces of teeth. Porcelain veneers may hide any of these defects, giving teeth a healthy, white, and straight appearance.
Many people avoid smiling because their teeth are excessively discolored and appear damaged. Many factors make it challenging to get white teeth naturally. Dental discoloration is caused by colored drinks, smoking, colorful meals, and poor oral hygiene. Teeth-whitening procedures are available in a smile makeover to address tooth discoloration. There are two options for this procedure: in-office and take-home.
Dental implants are the most comprehensive and time-consuming alternative for replacing damaged teeth. It is also the most durable and reliable option of all the tooth restoration options available. Any lost tooth or teeth can be replaced with dental implant(s). The dentist will typically recommend this option if the tooth is too damaged to be restored via other means, which means extraction is inevitable. The porcelain crowns are supported by titanium posts implanted in the patient's jawbone.
Dental crowns can be used to cover a tooth that has been damaged due to tooth decay or trauma. Before the dental crowns are attached, the dentist will repair the damage and prepare the tooth. The crown could be fabricated from porcelain material or porcelain fused to metal to ensure aesthetic appeal. This procedure restores the natural appearance of teeth without the need for surgery. The long-lasting dental crowns help preserve the tooth, avoiding further damage.
Gaps, stains, chipping, fractures, and deformed teeth can all be treated by dental bonding. This composite resin used in this smile makeover treatment can be tinted to match the color of natural teeth. Dentists must shape the resin to conceal any flaws in the patient's teeth. Trimming and polishing come next to restore the tooth’s natural form.
Due to advancements in dentistry techniques, you can now transform your smile’s appearance. Smile makeover procedures can help you enhance the appearance and function of your teeth. To get started, contact the dentist to book an appointment for a consultation.
