A bright smile filled with attractive teeth makes a great impression on people. It sends a signal that the person is healthy and vital. When a person has a dingy smile, it sends the opposite signal. People may assume that the person has lazy dental habits or that they are in poor health. Fortunately, there are many things that can be done to improve the way a person’s teeth look. A Cosmetic Dentist in Garden City NY can easily map out the steps a person needs for a total smile makeover. The patient may be surprised that it will only take a few weeks.
People can be born with ugly teeth. They are oddly shaped and have uneven gaps between them. Dental veneers can change this in only three visits. They are very thin porcelain covers that permanently fit over the front of the teeth. If the cosmetic problems are widespread, the cosmetic dentist in Garden City NY can place them over all of the teeth. If only a few teeth are causing the problem, then the dentist can cover only them. Gray teeth often don’t respond to chemical whitening treatments. Therefore, one of the best ways for a person with gray teeth to whiten their teeth is to cover them with veneers. While veneers can be made from resin, many people believe that porcelain looks more natural.
Older people may have gray shadows on their teeth because of the metal dental fillings that were used when they were children. As people age, their tooth enamel can get thinner. When this occurs the metal fillings are more obvious. The dentist can replace these with resin fillings that closely match the color of the tooth enamel. Not only will the teeth instantly be brighter, they will be stronger. Metal fillings sit inside the tooth but don’t bond with the enamel. This allows small spaces to develop between the filling and tooth. However, the resin filling bonds with the tooth and there are no small spaces between the two surfaces.
