Gaps between teeth can be an embarrassing cosmetic dental problem. Luckily, there are various solutions available to close them – tooth bonding is one such method in which a dentist covers a tooth with composite resin and then hardens it using special light to seal gaps between them.
Clear aligners and dental implants offer more comprehensive solutions to alignment issues like gaps.
Tooth Bonding
Dental bonding is an easy cosmetic treatment to fix chipped teeth, close gaps in your smile and cover dark stains. Utilizing tooth-colored resin composite material to restore your smile without taking away any enamel from existing enamel surfaces.
At first, your dentist will select an appropriate shade of composite resin to match the shade of your natural teeth. After roughening and conditioning liquid application to help adhere the material better, your dentist will then add bonding material and shape or mold it as necessary to fill or repair damaged tooth areas before curing it with ultraviolet light.
Bonding is less invasive than other restorative treatments like veneers or crowns, yet less durable compared to them. Over time, plastic resin may stain or break just like natural enamel does – to minimize staining avoid coffee, red wine and dark-colored berries as much as possible and plan on whitening your teeth in the future before getting bonded teeth.
Dental Veneers
Veneers provide an attractive cosmetic solution to many dental issues. They are commonly used to close gaps between teeth as well as conceal chips or discoloration.
As with most cosmetic procedures, getting veneers requires multiple appointments. On your initial visit to a dentist for veneers, he or she will consult with you and create an impression of your teeth so the lab can create custom veneers tailored precisely to match those found in nature.
Once the laboratory has created your veneers, you will visit your dentist to have them attached. There may be initial soreness or sensitivity; this should pass quickly.
Once your veneers are in place, you can reap their many advantages for as long as you take proper care to maintain them. This means regularly brushing and flossing as well as wearing a mouthguard when grinding at night; also limiting stain-causing substances like red wine.
Dental Crowns
Crowns can be an extremely effective solution for treating damaged, chipped, or discoloured teeth. Furthermore, they strengthen them after receiving root canal therapy treatment.
Tooth-colored dental crowns are used primarily for aesthetic reasons to improve the shape of teeth damaged by trauma or decay and create an even and symmetric smile.
Before the crown is placed, both tooth and gums must first be numbed. Next, filing of the chewing surface and sides is performed so the crown fits comfortably onto it; how much natural tooth structure must be removed depends upon which crown type is being used; all-metal crowns require less filing while PFM crowns may need additional work due to being thicker and therefore require additional filing.
Ceramic crowns are popular choice for front teeth restoration as they closely resemble natural tooth enamel color; metal-free zirconia crowns provide durability and strength, while porcelain fused-to-metal crowns combine porcelain and metal for increased strength but less natural looking results than ceramic alternatives.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are more durable than other options for replacing missing teeth, appearing and functioning just like natural teeth. Furthermore, they restore bite force for easier chewing action and more natural chewing action.
Dental implants are small titanium posts inserted by your dentist into your jawbone to replace lost teeth. A synthetic crown, custom-matched in color and shape to match existing ones is then attached to this implant and it becomes part of your smile seamlessly.
Your implant requires time to heal and integrate with the bone through osseointegration, so during this period, soft foods should be eaten while trying to limit blowing your nose, smoking cigarettes, excessively spitting or drinking through straws.
Are You an Ideal Candidate for Implants? | When considering implants as a treatment option, your requirements should include having adequate bone mass and healthy gums, in addition to being generally in good health – an implant procedure may have adverse repercussions if it proves unsuccessful and cause long-term harm to overall well-being.
