If you are unhappy about the appearance of your teeth then speak to your dentist and find out about cosmetic dental treatment. Thanks to advances in dental technology, there are many different types of cosmetic dental treatment available to meet your unique dental needs.
Yellow or stained teeth
Teeth whitening is one of the most sought after cosmetic dental treatments at any dental practice. If you are troubled by yellow or stained teeth, rest assured you are not alone. Staining occurs as a result of many different reasons. There are different types of teeth stains including extrinsic stains and intrinsic stains. Extrinsic stains are the most common types of stains. These affect the enamel of your teeth whilst intrinsic stains affect the dentin of your teeth. Extrinsic stains can be removed by teeth whitening procedures at the dental practice or in the comfort of your own home using bleaching agents including carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide which break down stain molecules on the surface of your teeth.
Intrinsic stains cannot be removed by teeth whitening. If you are suffering from intrinsic stains then you need to speak to your dentist and find out about veneers Gordon. Intrinsic stains can be yellow, brown, grey, or orange. You may have white or brown spots on your teeth and these stains are often caused as a result of fluorosis, demineralisation and hypocalcification. Intrinsic stains can also be caused by tetracycline and other similar medications. You may have experienced trauma to your teeth which can result in grey or black stains on your teeth. Intrinsic stains are inside the teeth therefore they can only be disguised by covering the tooth altogether. This is how veneers Gordon work; veneers Gordon are thin porcelain shells and they are attached directly onto the front surface of your teeth. This means that any imperfections including intrinsic stains are hidden from sight. Veneers can be used for a single tooth that may have been bruised or damaged earlier in life or it can be used for all of your teeth. Your dentist will help you choose the right shade of veneer to match your overall appearance.
Veneers Gordon are multifunctional
Veneers are also used to address other aesthetic issues of your teeth. If you have minor misalignment issues of the teeth then veneers Gordon can help create a neatly aligned formation. This is suitable for patients who do not need orthodontic treatment but want to improve the alignment of their teeth. Veneers are also used to change the shape and size of your teeth. If you are unhappy with the shape or size of your teeth then your dentist will be able to design veneers to suit your personal preferences. Different shaped veneers are better suited for different shaped faces so your dentist will help you choose the right shape and size for you.
Veneers are used to disguise chips, cracks, and broken teeth. Not only does this improve the appearance of your smile but the veneer also helps prevent further damage to the tooth. The tooth is safe from further wear and tear and it is also safe from accidental damage from a trip or fall. The veneer will strengthen the tooth beneath and therefore increase its longevity. Your dentist will make sure that the tooth is strong enough to hold the veneer but once in place the veneer will look after your original tooth.
Looking after your veneers
Speak to your dentist today and find out more about veneers Gordon. They are an excellent choice of cosmetic dental treatment because they can transform all types of imperfections but also they are long lasting, stain resistant, strong and resilient. Once in place veneers can last between 10 and 20 years with good dental hygiene and regular visits to the dental practice. Your dentist will be able to advise when it is time to have your veneers replaced. You have to remember to look after your teeth carefully with veneers because your natural teeth are still susceptible to cavities and tooth decay. You also need to avoid extremely hard foods such as nuts, raw carrots, apples, caramel, and meats that are difficult to chew to avoid damaging the veneers. You should avoid fizzy drinks and alcohol or use a straw to drink as they can damage the cement used to attach the veneers onto your teeth. This can cause your veneers to become loose over time reducing their longevity. You should also avoid smoking and other tobacco products to maintain healthy teeth and avoid staining your veneers. Although they are staying resistant comma the cement can become stained and discoloured and will cause brown edges on your teeth if you continue to smoke with veneers.
