Cosmetic Dentistry
With today’s state-of-the-art technologies, cosmetic dentistry can change the shape, size, and alignment of certain teeth with a minimally invasive treatment. Treatment can also include filling unattractive spaces between the teeth, and improving or correcting bites. Teeth that are missing can be replaced and old or unattractive dental treatments can be replaced with new and natural-looking cosmetic services.
Missing Teeth
If an individual is missing one or several teeth, a dental bridge can be made to correct the problem. This type of dental appliance is non-removable and is an excellent way to restore a smile. A traditional bridge is very popular because is it usually made of porcelain and will look identical to the other teeth.
Replacing missing teeth is important for chewing, speaking, and maintaining an individual’s facial structure. Teeth will shift when a tooth is missing and could cause additional problems for an individual if not replaced.
Dental Implants
Another option for missing teeth is a dental implant. A dental will require two or three visits to the dentist’s office and takes several months to complete. A dental implant requires the insertion of a post in the jaw and a patient will have to wait for several months until the gums have healed to have the permanent tooth attached.
