Make 2017 the Year of the Smile
Many of us go through life unhappy with the appearance of our teeth. Whether it’s because they are not the colour we’d like, because we have gaps or crooked teeth or even because we are missing one or more teeth, the good news is that there have never been more possibilities to make things better. If your New Year’s resolution is to finally get the smile that you’ve been dreaming of, read on to learn about what can be done.
Tooth Whitening
Top of the January wish list for many people is getting their teeth restored to be shiny and white. Whether it’s because you have a big event in this year’s calendar such as a wedding, graduation or even the holiday of a lifetime, or simply because you want to feel more confident and comfortable with your smile, the good news is that transformation is within your reach. If you’ve spent the last year experimenting with whitening toothpastes or DIY home whitening kits, the chances are that you have not been satisfied with the results. This is because strict laws limit the effectiveness of such treatments. By having your teeth whitening performed by a qualified dentist, you have access to much more powerful and effective treatments and also the peace of mind that you are being looked after by a trusted professional.
Veneers
If it is a stained, crooked or chipped tooth that is upsetting a smile you’d otherwise be happy with, a veneer could be the ideal solution. A veneer is a piece of ceramic porcelain that fits over the front of a tooth and works in much the same way as a fake nail – although it lasts a lot longer!
Crowns
If a tooth is too badly damaged for a veneer to be an option, a crown is another common alternative. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped, highly durable covering for a tooth that is usually made out of metal, porcelain or ceramic fused to metal and coloured to match your existing teeth as closely as possible. Different materials may be used depending if the crown is for a front or a back tooth.
Bridges
If you are missing one or more teeth, bridges offer a great cosmetic solution that is comfortable and natural looking. A dental bridge typically involves either mounting a false tooth or teeth on a crown either side of the gap or using dental implants to support the bridge. The type of bridge used can be affected by the condition of your teeth and jaw, desired result and financial considerations.
Implants
Whether you are looking to get bridges or crowns fitted to replace missing teeth or wish to overcome the discomfort of loose or uncomfortable dentures, dental implants are a solution that allows for highly effective mounting of crowns and bridges to help reconstruct your smile with lasting results. From supporting a single tooth to a complete new set, dental implants offer high levels of comfort and security for a long term boost to your confidence.
