Not every service requires the services of an emergency dentist. Sometimes dental procedures can be thought out and studied so that you’re getting exactly what you want from acosmetic dentist in Philadelphia, PA.
One of the best ways to protect your teeth is with veneers. While veneers might not be medically necessary, they can make your teeth look amazing and help shape your smile into the one you’ve always wanted.
Veneers are tiny slivers of porcelain that are cemented to you teeth. They protect the tooth and can also shape each individual tooth. In this way they can be a cosmetic alternative to braces, which are really only needed if it’s medically necessary. Veneers are great for:
People whose teeth are more susceptible to staining – Not all people’s teeth react to stains in the same way. Some are just naturally going to have a harder time with stains. Or maybe you’re not going to give up your 15 cups of coffee a day but want to have brighter teeth.
People with deep ridges in their teeth – Some patients teeth have deep grooves on the front, and veneers will bring a thin, smooth surface to wavy teeth.
People who have thin enamel or worn teeth – The enamel, the outermost part of the tooth and the hardest part of the human body, can repair itself from some wear through a process called remineralization. But some people have genetically thin enamel, some leave too many sugars on your teeth that can break down enamel and lead to cavities. Either way it’s best to help your teeth with veneers.
Misaligned/misshapen – If your teeth are misaligned but there’s no medical reason for braces, veneers might be a great option for filling in the spaces and making it look like the teeth are all heading in the right direction.
Large gaps – There’s only one kind of person who likes large gaps between teeth…caricaturists! It gives them an easy target when they’re drawing your picture at the fair. If your gap is signature to your look (like David Letterman’s), then maybe you don’t want to have this fixed. However, if it’s all you can see when you look in the mirror, you might want to have us fix it.
