In the past, if teeth were lost through an accident, or discolored through trauma or medicine, adults had no choice but to live with the broken, chipped or discolored teeth. However, times have changed. There are many options for restorative dental work if you need to regain your smile. But how do you figure out what technique will work best for you? If you need help figuring out which restorative technique will work best for your situation, keep reading. We can help you figure out the best way for you to regain your smile. Restorative Options for Your SmileThere are many options you can think about to fix problems with your smile. While veneers, which are ultra-thin layers of either resin or porcelain that cover teeth, are one way to fix cosmetic issues with teeth, they are not your only option. Patients who opt to get veneers are opting to permanently alter their teeth, which may not be the best choice for you. Also, veneers are suitable when adults need total coverage of either the upper teeth or the lower teeth.But not all adults need veneers. They may have a single tooth that is broken. In that case, the problem could be fixed with a crown. They might also have two or three broken teeth, and instead of veneers, they could opt for a dental bridge to replace a few teeth that are broken or missing. In addition, for some chips on teeth, a simple filling or bonding procedure can restore one tooth or a few teeth with small defects to their original luster. While in the past, fillings and bondings were not made to match your teeth, today's technology allows for teeth to be filled in perfectly. We can help you figure out the best options for restoring your smile, because when you smile—we smile. Why not give us a call today? |
