Adult cosmetic dentistry keeps you smiling pretty by saving your natural teeth. Sometimes, signs of wear experienced by adults can be an aesthetic concern; however, it may also indicate dental problems that can compromise the function of the tooth. The Super Dentists will examine your teeth to ensure they are healthy and working properly. If you do have a compromised tooth, the good news is that nowadays most cavities, cracks, spaces or chips can be fixed. Let your super dentist know if you have pain or sensitivity. In addition to being as gentle with parents as they are with kids, The Super Dentists use sedation dentistry to make treatment as comfortable as possible.
Based on the specific problem with your tooth, The Super Dentists may recommend a filling, crown or teeth bonding. While these aren’t the only treatments for tooth restoration, they are the most common.
Dental or porcelain veneers are another cosmetic dentistry option to change the shape, size, length or color of the teeth to create a confident smile.
Fillings
Fillings are used to repair a fracture or cavity. Kids aren’t the only ones who get cavities. Adults can consume sugary beverages and foods, forget to brush and floss or experience a trauma. An old filling may also need to be replaced for a variety of reasons. If you need a filling, The Super Dentists will give you a choice between white resin composite or an amalgam filling. This routine procedure can shore up your tooth so that you’ll likely forget you ever had a problem.
Crowns
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, a crown may be the perfect solution. A crown will protect the remaining tooth as well as the root and reduce the risk of pain and infection. The Super Dentists use nonmetal crowns of porcelain or solid zirconia on adults, due to their strength and natural appearance. You’ll want to be careful because, while a crown is effective for saving a tooth, it’s not as strong as your natural teeth. Crowns are a great way to keep your tooth when there isn’t a lot of tooth left.
Teeth Bonding
Bonding is like modern magic for fixing chipped, cracked, oddly spaced or mismatched teeth. The Super Dentists use a composite plastic or resin material that is bonded to the problem tooth to give it a natural appearance. The bonding composite comes in many shades to closely match your natural tooth color. Bonding usually takes less than an hour to apply. You’ll walk into the office with an unsightly tooth and walk out with a beautiful smile.
Veneers
Dental veneers are thin coverings that are bonded to the tooth’s surface to improve its appearance. Veneers can be used to fix the size, shape, length or color of a tooth to make all teeth look uniform. For teeth that are small, have gaps, are mismatched in size or stained, veneers can be used to correct one or several teeth. Porcelain veneers are preferred for their natural look and ability to avoid staining. By middle age, many adults have signs of wear on their teeth. Veneers are an effective way to achieve a more youthful smile.
