People know that they are judged by their appearance. They therefore become very self-conscious when they know that their teeth are not very attractive. In extreme cases people may not want to socialize with friends or even talk to their co-workers. In recent years many techniques have been developed to help people with crooked, stained and badly-shaped teeth. Anyone who is unhappy with their smile should talk to a Cosmetic Dentist in Huntington Beach CA to see what can be done to help them.
Veneers can easily help people who have several chipped teeth with uneven spaces between them. They are wafer thin shells that fit over the front of teeth. The dentist at Kali Dental buffs a small amount of enamel off of the front of the teeth and then takes an impression. The impression is used to make porcelain veneers that perfectly fit the front of the tooth. It is then bonded to the front of the tooth with a strong cement. The result is a perfect smile that anyone would be proud to have. If the person only has one chipped tooth, then the dentist may opt to bond a small amount of resin on to it to reshape it. The compound matches the enamel and no one will easily notice it.
Missing teeth can severely impact a patient’s appearance. Dental implants in Huntington Beach CA can easily replace a missing tooth. The Cosmetic Dentist in Huntington Beach CA inserts a titanium shaft into the patient’s jawbone, which functions as a root for a crown. This should be done as soon as possible after the tooth loss occurs. The jaw looses density and size when it no longer has the work of hold the tooth’s root. If the patient waits too long, the jawbone may not be able to support an implant. It would be necessary for an oral surgeon to perform a bone graft, prior to the insertion of the dental implant. In addition to the added expense it would take an additional two months to complete the process. Once the jaw has healed and fully incorporated the implant, the porcelain crown is attached to it. The result is a natural looking tooth that will last for many years.
