Cosmetic Dentistry
Many patients at Core Family Dentistry come to our clinic for help making their smiles look better. We offer a full line of cosmetic dentistry services to do just that. Whether you’re looking to cover a missing or broken tooth, have staining you wish to bleach, or want straighter teeth, we likely have a cosmetic dentistry service that can help.
Comprehensive Services to Improve Your Smile Aesthetics
Many conditions can make you feel less comfortable in your skin and with your smile. For instance, missing teeth can leave you unwilling to smile because of embarrassment. Excessive staining or discoloration can also be a concern. At Core Family Dentistry, your Linn, MO, dental office, we want to assist with all of these. We offer the following cosmetic dentistry services:
Crowns and Bridges
Missing or broken teeth can make it difficult to chew normally and even talk. These can also be serious cosmetic concerns. Crowns and bridges can fix this common problem.
Crowns are faux teeth-colored caps that sit on top of a cracked or misshapen tooth. They are bonded to the tooth, offering a permanent solution to the problem. Once in place, a crown functions like a natural tooth, and most patients can continue to eat their favorite foods.
Bridges are solutions for missing, rather than damaged, teeth. These have a pair of crowns that support a faux tooth. The crowns sit on the natural teeth surrounding the gap from the missing tooth, and the faux tooth fills in the gap. Again, once in place, these function fairly similarly to natural teeth, giving you back the ability to chew and speak normally while also improving your smile.
Veneers
For staining and some cracking, veneers may be a good option. Veneers are tooth-like faces that adhere to the front of the tooth, covering the stained or damaged teeth. Like crowns, these get permanently bonded to the tooth, so you can continue to eat normally. For veneers, your dentist may need to rough up your tooth’s enamel slightly to create a better grip for the adhesive.
Teeth Whitening
Stained or discolored teeth are a common complaint of people in our dental clinic. Teeth can get stained due to poor dental hygiene, but more often the root cause is something you couldn’t prevent, such as genetics or medications you used as a child. Thankfully, there are a number of procedures we offer that can whiten those teeth significantly, giving you a glowing smile.
Some patients choose teeth whitening they can do at home using bleaching trays. You can also have a higher-intensity whitening done in the office under supervision. Laser-assisted whitening can speed up the process and create better results. This is also handled in the office, and you will see results at the very first treatment. If you want whiter teeth, talk to our dental team about the best way to get them.
