January 20, 2017
Just as there are several issues you can have with your teeth, there are several options for addressing those issues. Here at Waterside Dental, we like to provide our patients with all the information they need on making the best decision for the appearance of their teeth and their overall oral health. Learn whether you should consider seeing a cosmetic dentist at our Sarasota, FL office.
You Have All Your Oral Health Issues Under Control
Before we can suggest a cosmetic dentistry treatment, it is best that you have any oral health issues you might have under control; this means problems like gum disease and cavities. A general dentist will be sure to sit down with you during a consultation to perform a thorough examination to determine whether there are any problems to clear up before you can consider teeth whitening, recontouring, crowns or Invisalign® braces.
You Want to Help Improve the Functionality of Your Mouth
One of the more common reasons for someone to think about a cosmetic dentistry procedure is to boost the overall functionality of the mouth. For instance, you might have a misaligned bite, which could result in you feeling self-conscious about your smile. While it is true that a cosmetic dentist, can improve the appearance of your teeth, cosmetic dentistry also improves and restores overall functionality.
You Are Displeased With the General Appearance of Your Gums or Teeth
While your teeth and gums may be healthy, you might not like how they look. Stains, gaps in your teeth and crooked teeth are all great reasons to think about a cosmetic dentistry procedure, such as porcelain veneers. If you like, you can combine procedures, such as veneers and whitening, to truly get the smile and confidence boost you desire.
