If you don\u2019t like the way your teeth look, you\u2019re not alone. 35% of adults are displeased with their smiles. You don\u2019t have to be embarrassed by your teeth any longer. Here are a few solutions for common cosmetic dental problems that won\u2019t break the bank.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Broken or Fractured Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teeth are incredibly strong, but injuries or untreated dental problems can lead to a broken or fractured tooth. Large areas of damage can be treated with a dental crown. The protective cap covers the surface of a tooth down to the gum line. Not only does this improve its health and appearance, but it also gives your tooth a layer of protection. All-ceramic materials are used to create dental crowns that look and feel natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chipped Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your enamel is stronger than some metals, but it can\u2019t grow back. A chipped tooth doesn\u2019t have to be the focal point of your smile. Your cosmetic dentist can use dental bonding to repair it. A composite resin is colored to match your enamel to blend in with your tooth to fix the damage. It\u2019s a quick and durable solution for chipped, cracked, or decayed teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tooth Discoloration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teeth change color over time for many reasons, like poor brushing habits, drinking a lot of coffee, and aging. A professional whitening treatment can get your teeth up to 8 shades whiter. You can enjoy results that can last for several months or years with a good aftercare routine, like brushing and flossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gummy Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your teeth look small or stubby from excess gum tissue, your dentist can reveal a big, beautiful smile. A soft tissue laser can sculpt the gum line to fix a gummy smile. It can also be used for patients with gum disease to treat the infection. You\u2019ll benefit from healthier gums and an attractive smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chips, Stains, Gaps, and More<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Porcelain veneers are recommended for patients with several concerns, like chips, stains, or gaps between teeth. Attaching veneers to the front surfaces of the teeth that show when you smile can save time and money. Veneers are a great option to treat many issues quickly using a minimally invasive method that can last for a decade or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not happy with the way your teeth look, your cosmetic dentist can create a smile to be proud of. You won\u2019t think twice before showing off your pearly whites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Spencer Smith<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.compassdentalga.com\/meet-dr-smith.html\">Dr. Smith<\/a> earned his dental degree at the University of Florida College of Dentistry and has regularly continued his training in many specialties, like esthetics, restorative dentistry, Invisalign, and implant dentistry.
