FAQs
What is the quickest way to fix crooked teeth?
The fastest method of addressing crooked teeth is with cosmetic dentistry solutions. These solutions consist of porcelain veneers or composite resin bonding. Porcelain veneers bond to the surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers can dramatically change the shape and size of your teeth and help correct alignment issues, making them an excellent solution for crooked teeth.
Composite resin bonding is a dental material that the dentist will apply directly to the tooth. The dentist shapes it around the tooth to disguise crooked teeth, gaps, and chipped teeth.
Can cosmetic dentistry fix an overbite?
Yes, cosmetic dentistry can help to correct an overbite. In cases where the bite is severe, your dentist may recommend orthodontic treatment. These treatments can move your teeth into their proper position. However, if the issue is mild or moderate, veneers and bonding can change the shape of your teeth. They can also help close any gaps between them.
Why are my teeth yellow even though I brush?
There are many reasons why your teeth may be yellow even though you brush them. These include side effects of certain medications, smoking cigarettes, chewing tobacco products, and drinking coffee, tea, and red wine. The natural aging process, trauma and injury to the teeth, and genetics are also factors.
Teeth whitening treatments, such as in-office bleaching, laser whitening procedures, or at-home whitening kits, can brighten tooth enamel and lift deep stains from within it.
Can you get a teeth whitening treatment if you have cavities?
If you have cavities, you should fill them before undergoing a teeth whitening treatment. The bleach used in these treatments can penetrate the tiny holes of the cavity and damage your enamel. Therefore, it is crucial to treat any cavities before whitening your teeth. Have your dentist match the color of the teeth to ensure the fillings do not stand out after your bleaching treatment.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
Porcelain veneers typically last anywhere from 7 to 15 years. However, the longevity of your veneers will depend on how well you care for them. They will also last longer if you follow good dental hygiene practices. To maintain oral health, brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss at least once daily. Regular dental visits will also help monitor the smile’s health and check restorations for signs of needing replacement.
How long does the tooth bonding process take?
The tooth bonding process usually takes about one hour. During the procedure, your dentist will use a specialized material to reshape and restore the teeth. They will harden the material with a special light. Next, they perform any necessary adjustments to ensure the natural look of your smile. With proper care, you can reduce the staining of the composite resin material. You can also extend the longevity of your dental bonding.
