Are you dissatisfied with your smile? Your Livermore, CA, dentist, Dr. Todd Kamena of Murrieta Dental Care, offers several cosmetic dentistry options that can enhance your smile and repair damaged teeth.
Do you have missing teeth?
Restoring lost teeth is just as important for your health as it is for your appearance. Nutritional deficiencies can occur if you resort to a soft diet because chewing or biting is just too difficult. Your dentist can restore your missing teeth with one of these options:
- A Bridge: A bridge contains one or two artificial teeth suspended between two crowns. The hollow crowns fit over teeth on either side of the gap and securely anchor the bridge. Before you receive a crown, the supporting teeth will need to be prepared.
- Dentures: Full or partial removable dentures may be an option if you've lost multiple teeth. Thanks to advancements in dental technology, today's dentures fit better than ever.
- Dental Implants: Recreating lost teeth with dental implants is an increasingly popular option among Livermore residents. Tiny titanium posts are implanted in your jawbone, then paired with dental crowns. The posts bond to your jawbone, offering stable, secure artificial roots for your crowns.
Are your teeth dull or damaged?
Dull, damaged teeth can be improved with one of these treatment choices:
- Teeth Whitening: In-office whitening lightens teeth by three to eight shades in about an hour. Professional-strength hydrogen peroxide gel safely bleaches teeth, eliminating stains. Whitening offers a simple way to makeover your smile.
- Veneers: These thin porcelain or plastic shells are applied to the fronts of teeth only and cover a variety of flaws. They're a good choice if you want to hide discolorations, whiten your entire smile, conceal chips and cracks, close slight gaps, or improve the shape or length of a tooth.
- Crowns: Crowns repair and restore broken or fractured teeth, prevent weak teeth from breaking, hide discolorations, change the appearance of oddly shaped teeth, and lengthen short teeth.
