When it comes to having that gorgeous, bright white, Hollywood smile that everyone wants, cosmetic dentistry procedures can go a long way to make that a reality. They can help when you are facing discoloration, chips or broken teeth, missing teeth, or nearly any other ailment your smile could be suffering from. Here are some of the cosmetic dentistry options you have when you contact your dental professional.

Some Popular Cosmetic Dentistry Options

One of the most common types of cosmetic dentistry is for the correction of missing teeth. Bridges are an easy fix for most missing teeth. This is a small denture type of appliance that sits in your mouth and it is cemented or affixed to the surrounding teeth so that you can have full function of your mouth, even where the tooth is missing from. They can be created out of many different materials, so you can have a bridge that looks like a standard tooth, or one that is made of gold, or some combination of the different materials.

Dental implants are another common form of cosmetic dentistry procedure that is used to correct missing teeth. Implants are false teeth that are affixed to a post that is screwed into your jaw. Some implants require multiple posts to be placed, while others only require two posts per jaw for full sets of dental implants that can be used similarly to dentures. No matter how many teeth you are missing, dental implants can help keep you eating and speaking like normal.

Other cosmetic dentistry options include having procedures done to make your mouth healthier. Things like roots that are exposed, gum lines that are not level within your mouth, or problems within your jawbone can also be helped by way of cosmetic dentistry procedures. The type of procedure you would need depends on the ailment you are suffering from. Each person has a different mouth, and therefore, a different set of needs. The only way to know what your smile could benefit from is to ask your dental professional.
