How Cosmetic Dental Procedures Can Aid Your Smile
Here at Fairfax Family Dental Care, our cosmetic procedures not only help with the flaws that can happen to our teeth, such as cracks and chipped teeth, but specific procedures like dental bonding or enamel shaping can help with the visual appearance of our mouths and teeth. Once a kid loses their teeth, it is out of control when adult teeth grow. This means there can be potential gaps, crooked teeth, empty spaces that can appear, and misalignments that will naturally happen due to nature. But sometimes, we encounter situations that cause our teeth to chip or break off. Whether from unforeseen circumstances like a ball to the face, accidentally eating a shell from a seafood dish, or simply eating a hard piece of candy. Cosmetic procedures can fix all these unfortunate events to make it seem like they did not happen. It can even improve your smile if you are not content with what you were born with

Making it more important to take necessary actions that can improve their current look. But for many people who do not need it for their brand, it can also help with stains our teeth see over time from eating certain foods and drinks like sodas and coffee. Teeth whitening it would help with the discoloration from what we eat and drink. For psychological reasons, teeth whitening can help improve the strength and health of the teeth.
Fillings for our teeth, specifically white fillings, create a more appealing physical aesthetic to certain people than receiving a silver filling. In terms of appearance, the white filling obviously would match the color of your teeth, which will make it seem like there has been no work done to your teeth. While being healthy in your mouth by not contracting and expanding as a silver filling would when there is a noticeable temperature change from different foods and drinks. Before white fillings, amalgam fillings were more commonly used, but they contained mercury, which is a health risk when composite resins are used.
In general, veneers are known to look natural and change the look of your smile. But among other things, porcelain veneers help with the durability, longevity, and overall appearance of your teeth and smile. The difference between porcelain and regular veneers is the quality of the product. The porcelain product helps last longer and resists staining and acidic foods/drinks. While the regular veneers do not last as long and are less resistant.

Meant for cracked, worn-down, and weak teeth, dental crowns are made from several materials, such as metals, porcelain, or ceramics, and are basically a cap or ‘crown’ for your tooth.
