Fix a Broken or Chipped Tooth
Did you bite down on a hard piece of food or use your teeth as a tool to open something? Maybe your child or grandchild’s toy collided with your mouth and took some tooth enamel along with it. Whatever the cause of a broken tooth, the problem can be repaired quickly with customized cosmetic dentistry.
- Porcelain crown: A dental crown is carefully designed to cover a tooth that has been damaged, whether chipped or broken. The crown is fitted over the afflicted tooth and shaded to blend in with neighboring teeth. If the break is not severe, dental bonding, tooth-colored fillings, and inlays/onlays are less-invasive but still successful repairs.
- Porcelain veneer: If a front tooth is compromised, sometimes the best way to fix that break is with a personalized veneer. It’s thin, made to order, and conceals everything that’s wrong with the tooth.
Transform Stained or Discolored Teeth
Discoloration is common as adults age. Drinking coffee, wine, or using tobacco are some of the biggest culprits that turn tooth enamel dingy. Aging itself is also a reason for unsightly shades on teeth.
- Teeth whitening: Professional-grade teeth whitening treatments use powerful bleaching materials to break up stains of all colors. Teeth will be bright white, shining, and beautiful, making you look healthy and younger.
- Porcelain veneers: There are those veneers again, but this cosmetic dentistry treatment is relied upon for a reason – it’s versatile. Some teeth can’t be whitened because tooth enamel is simply a more yellowish color. When no amount of brushing or whitening can make a dent, it’s time to cover up what you have and veneers get that job done flawlessly.
Eliminate Excess Gum Tissue
Some people are born with excess gum tissue. It’s simply in the DNA and results in a smile that looks like you have short teeth and an incorrect ratio of gums to enamel.
- Cosmetic gum recontouring: Believe it or not, one of the most magical treatments in cosmetic dentistry land is recontouring the gumline. With a powerful laser, your Fort Lauderdale dentist removes excess and unwanted tissue and reshapes your smile so it is proportional and attractive.
- Porcelain veneers: Guess what? Porcelain veneers make their appearance again. Many cosmetic dentistry patients combine cosmetic gum recontouring with customized porcelain veneers to get a stunning smile makeover that transforms their appearance and self-esteem.
