Here are just a few ways cosmetic dental care can work for you:
- Teeth Whitening:Â
We all love our coffee, tea, and wine, but these beverages often don’t agree with our smiles. Over time, these drinks can leave your teeth dull, dingy, and discolored. Through professional teeth whitening, your Solana Beach dentists can eradicate stains and discolorations on your teeth to bring back their radiant appearance.
- Porcelain Veneers
Sometimes, deeply ingrained tooth stains don’t respond well to whitening treatments, but they can be easily concealed with veneers. Veneers are custom-made porcelain shells that can be bonded to the surface of imperfect teeth to perfect their appearance. With veneers, stained teeth look white, uneven teeth look straight, and chipped teeth look unblemished. Due to their natural, tooth-colored appearance, porcelain veneers will fit in seamlessly with your smile.
Crowns differ from veneers in covering your whole tooth rather than just its surface. They’re designed to repair teeth that have suffered structural damage from decay or accidental injury. A broken or cracked tooth gives your smile an unsightly appearance. Crowning a damaged tooth restores its original shape, color, and structure to make it look new.
Crooked teeth can be made straight and even with clear aligner orthodontics. Invisible clear aligners will do their job discreetly and not interfere with your lifestyle. The process may take 12 to 18 months to complete, but with proper maintenance and care of your teeth, it will yield beautiful straightening results that can last a lifetime.
- Implants
Implants can fill in the gaps left by missing teeth to make your smile every whit whole again. Implants offer a natural, permanent means of restoring your smile after teeth go missing.
