People with a winning smile are full of confidence, some people are born lucky and have perfect teeth; others are not so lucky and have crooked or discolored teeth which lower their confidence level. It is for this second group that a cosmetic Woodstock dentist can help.
The aim of cosmetic dentistry is to restore teeth and return them to their original beauty. Cosmetic dentists can also correct problems that may be from birth, things such as an overbite or under-bite or even missing teeth. For those who have bad teeth and they wish to regain their lost confidence, cosmetic dentistry can help bring it back.
Over the years of having dental care you actually may have already experienced cosmetic dentistry without realizing it. If you have had tooth colored fillings or a crown, you have had cosmetic dentistry. If you simply do not like your smile, there are things that the Woodstock dentist can do in a few short visits.
As time goes by, teeth will stain naturally. To restore the original brightness, the dentist can whiten or bleach your teeth; the procedure can even make your teeth brighter than they ever were. For those who were born with crooked teeth or teeth which were mismatched and grew irregularly, these issues can also be solved with various cosmetic treatments. Other problems that can be corrected is replacing old, dark fillings with new ones which are the color of the tooth, unsightly gaps between the teeth and a situation where there is too much gum showing are all things that the cosmetic dentist can fix.
Not all procedures that are performed by a cosmetic dentist are truly cosmetic; in many cases the treatments are functional. The various materials that are used by a Woodstock dentist are incredibly tough and strong and the dentist can use this material to change the way the teeth chew and bite.
There are a number of cosmetic treatments, the length of time to perform them vary considerably. Tooth bleaching is something that can be accomplished with only visit, in other cases considerable preliminary work has to be finished before the cosmetic’s can be done, an example is a veneer, the tooth must be shaped and the veneer must be made in the lab so the time frame is longer.
