People may suffer for many years with a smile that they hate. It can be due to crooked, chipped or missing teeth. Finally an up-coming special event or a social comment makes them see a Cosmetic Dentist in Clayton to find out what can be done to give them the smile that they have always wanted. The good news is that Cosmetic Dentist Eric J. Aubert has many techniques he can use to improve a person’s smile. He can use bonding, dental implants, porcelain crowns and veneers to create perfect teeth.
Even a single chipped tooth can make a person self-conscious if it’s in the front of their smile. Depending upon the size of the chipped portion, the dentist can bond resin on to the tooth. Because the resin matches the tooth enamel, it is an invisible patch. It only takes one office visit and will last several years. If the tooth is too damaged to have a patch bonded on to it, then the Cosmetic Dentist at Forest Park Dental can cover the entire tooth with a porcelain crown. The porcelain color can be matched to the surrounding teeth, so it will blend in perfectly. Anyone looking at the person will think that it’s a natural tooth.
If more than one tooth is the problem, then the Cosmetic Dentist in Clayton can use porcelain veneers to correct all of the teeth. Veneers are very thin porcelain shells that fit over the front of the teeth. Once they are bonded in place they are strong and the person can forget that they are there. They are the perfect solution when a person has several chipped teeth or oddly-shaped teeth. It’s even possible to use veneers to even out the spaces between teeth. If a person has been suffering with a huge gap between their front teeth, veneers can easily fill it.
Missing teeth can demoralize a person and affect how they interact with people. A dentist at Forest Park Dental can insert a dental implant into the patient’s jaw. In about eight weeks the jaw will heal and grow around the implant. Once this occurs, the dentist can place a porcelain crown on top of the implant. The result is a natural-looking tooth, that will function just like the original tooth.
