Dentists Can Assist You Achieve A Better Attractive Smile1061379
Chipped or broken pearly whites are a common issue for Americans. Several foods that we eat can contribute to the chipping or breaking of teeth, such as nuts, seeds, and sometimes even bone pieces. A chipped tooth can be repaired, but treatment is not always cheap, even with an affordable dental plan. Though everyone's mouth is different, there areseveral common solutions for fixing a broken tooth.
Aside from the typical tooth pain caused by cavities, there are also injuries or accidents to the tooth that needs to be fixed as soon as possible. You can be out partying and get into a fight which can earn you a broken tooth after being punched in the face. You can be playing tennis or volleyball and get slammed by the ball on your head resulting to a chipped tooth in the process.
Think about where your confidence will be if you had better teeth. It‘s one of the first things people notice about you, your smile, a warm and inviting smile brings people closer to you. A toothless one will scare people away. Having a dentist available around the clock for all your emergency needs is vital to keep your smile in great shape.
When a denist fits a veneer on your tooth, in order for the covering to bond to the teeth properly, a key has to be made. That is, the surface has to be slightly roughened. This may involve removing a very tiny amount of the enamel from the teeth. This would be the same thickness as the veneer, meaning no change in the overall size of the teeth. There should be very little discomfort from this and a local anesthetic is not always needed.
If you want a really good check up, upon arrival at the dental office, you will get a full mouth scan. These images will give the technician the whole picture of your oral health. You and your dentist will discuss what needs to be done to fix your mouth from the inside out. Once the teeth are fixed, your lips will be free to go about their usual business of smiling. Isn’t that good news!
Rebuild your tooth if it get broken. Another option is to rebuild a broken tooth with a resin-based composite, the white material that is often used in fillings. If your chip or crack is large enough to be seen but does not reach the roots, the dentist may be able to rebuild your tooth with this composite. It can be colored to match the rest of your smile for a more natural look. This process is often called bonding, and is an affordable option compared to the more difficult work involved in repairing severe chips.
