When you first meet someone, what is the first thing you notice about them? Their handshake? Their clothing? Their hair? Maybe. But when someone is trying to make a positive impression, they will often smile at you. And you will notice.
But if you don't feel confident about your smile, you may be hesitant to show it, making it harder for you to make that great first impression, despite your best efforts.
Braces are beneficial for both young and old and can correct a plethora of dental troubles, but they certainly don't fix everything. So what do you do when the issue(s) you're facing don't have common sense solutions?
Don't worry--your smile is not a lost cause. Let me discuss with you some of the possibilities that could await you in the office of your local Beverly Hills cosmetic dentistry specialist.
One of the biggest complaints that people have about their teeth is discoloration. Stained teeth can actually have a variety of sources, but, of course, one of the most common is consuming dark beverages (tea, wine, coffee) and fruits (the antioxidant-rich foods that are so good for you can take a toll on your teeth), and smoking.
With few exceptions, an in-office bleaching session accompanied with an at-home bleaching tray for follow-up results will be the prescribed treatment.
But when the cause of the discoloration is both severe and internal rather than external, some more dramatic measures may need to be taken. The affected teeth may need to be replaced by porcelain veneers, which can mimic the natural shape of your natural teeth and fit comfortably against your gums.
My father had this done after he had grown up with a neglectful mother that never took him to the dentist. Years of compromised hygiene also meant that the long-term damage was irreversible. He now has a set of veneers that he flashes proudly. He's not afraid to smile now, and he takes good care of himself. It has made all the difference in the world.
Many people find themselves dissatisfied when a quick flash of their mouth reveals much more of their gums than their teeth. A dentist that specializes in cosmetic procedures can perform a gumlift, which, as it sounds, raises the gums away from the teeth, thereby exposing more of the length of your pearly whites.
In some cases, the jaw bone interferes with not only the appearance of your smile, it can also cause problems with the upper lip and your ability to close your mouth properly. In cases like these, a cosmetic dentist can actually safely remove portions of the bone so the infringement is less.
If you have some other problem that I haven't mentioned here, don't be afraid to bring it up with your dentist. There is a good chance he or she will have a recommendation just for you.
