So, if you\u2019re having a hard time loving what you see in the mirror when you smile, you\u2019re not alone. However, you don\u2019t have to continue to dislike what you see. There are many advances in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenudental.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">cosmetic dentistry<\/a> that can fix all kinds of dental woes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to see five examples of dental problems cosmetic dentistry can solve, continue reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Discoloration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teeth are made of layers. The top one, enamel, is partially what determines the overall color of your pearly whites. Over time, stains from dark-colored drinks and pigments from vibrant foods accumulate, turning them yellow or brown. Teeth whitening treatments use hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to gently remove these stains. Best of all, you have options\u2014either a quick treatment in the office or take-home kits for your convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Crooked or Uneven Teeth<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Crooked teeth are common, especially if you haven\u2019t had your wisdom teeth removed or had developmental problems in your mouth earlier in life. Even with an issue as complex as this, cosmetic dentistry can help. Depending on the severity of the issue, veneers can straighten and even out teeth for a better bite and a more pleasing grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Gaps in Teeth<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tooth gaps are common, but easily treatable with modern cosmetic procedures. Veneers can close the gap, but if it\u2019s smaller, cosmetic dental bonding can do the job in a few moments! Your dentist applies a tooth-colored resin to the affected area, then shapes and smooths the surface until you\u2019re left with a reduced gap that looks natural and clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Gummy Smile<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Excess gum tissue can leave teeth looking too small or fragile. This is a cosmetic concern known as a \u201cgummy smile.\u201d Your dentist can help in this area with gum recontouring! Using a soft tissue laser, your dentist can gently remove the gum tissue that\u2019s covering your teeth. This will reveal the entirety of your pearly whites, letting you smile with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Chipped or Cracked Teeth<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teeth are very strong, but they can chip, fracture, or break if they\u2019re subjected to enough stress. These breaks in your teeth can cause some embarrassment, but also some discomfort in your mouth. Dental bonding, veneers, and dental crowns are all great ways to repair broken teeth depending on the severity of the damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you\u2019re trying to restore your teeth to their former glory, or if you want a brand-new look, cosmetic dentistry can help. Schedule a consultation with your dentist and see what treatments you need to get where you want to be. Don\u2019t delay, your best smile ever may be a phone call away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About the Practice<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Nu Dental Eatontown, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenudental.com\/dr-admasu-gizachew-dds.html\">Dr. Admasu Gizachew<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenudental.com\/dr-monica-andrews.html\">Dr. Monica Andrews<\/a> team up to bring you quality dental care.
