4 Dental Problems Cosmetic Dentistry Can Fix

Unsure about how cosmetic dentistry can help your smile? Here are a few dental issues cosmetic dentistry can address to help transform your smile. 

• Gaps in teeth

If your teeth are too widely spaced, your dentist may recommend orthodontics or cosmetic dentistry treatment to fill in the gaps. Porcelain veneers or dental crowns are two common options for closing these spaces. Porcelain veneers are thin shells that fit over the front of the teeth to cover any gaps and unevenness. They are custom-made to match the shade of your natural teeth so that your smile looks seamless and natural after the procedure. Like porcelain veneers, dental crowns can also be used to cover tooth gaps. However, the crowns are larger and cover more of the tooth than porcelain veneers do. Your dentist can help you determine which option is best for you based on your situation. At Kennedy Heights Dental Centre, we offer cosmetic dental care to patients in and around Surrey VW3, V4N, V4P, Langley V3A, V2Y 1A2, and New Westminster V3L, V3K 0M4.  

• Discolorations

Teeth whitening is one of the most common cosmetic dentistry procedures in the entire country. If you drink coffee, tea, wine, or soda regularly, your teeth are likely discolored. Even if you brush and floss daily, the discoloration can still occur over time due to the natural aging process and certain medications. Whitening treatments help remove these stubborn stains from your teeth, leaving you with a beautiful smile. Zoom!® teeth whitening is widely considered the most effective professional whitening treatment on the market. It’s available only at the dental office, where the dentist can closely monitor the treatment and ensure you’re receiving the best possible results.

For patients who prefer to whiten at home, custom take-home whitening trays are available. These trays are designed to fit your unique smile and keep bleaching gel on your teeth for long enough to reach its full effects. The dentist will provide you with instructions on how long to wear the trays and what foods to avoid while using them.

• Misaligned teeth

When you have a misaligned smile, it can be tough to hold your smile in place. But a smile that’s always shifting can eventually cause your teeth to look and feel worn. You can have this problem addressed with cosmetic dentistry treatments such as Invisalign or porcelain veneers. These options can correct alignment issues by creating a straighter smile that looks more natural and healthier. Talk to your dentist to decide which option is right for you!

• Damaged teeth

Chips, cracks, and other damage can impact more than just the appearance of your smile. Even small imperfections can make your teeth more sensitive and increase your risk of tooth decay. These issues can also impact your ability to chew and speak properly. By restoring the appearance and strength of your natural teeth with cosmetic bonding or tooth-colored fillings, you can address oral problems and improve your oral health. With cosmetic bonding, your dentist can cover chips, cracks, or other damage to your front-facing teeth.
