Dentists do more than simply drilling and filling. Nowadays there are many methods that can be done without the drill. Make sure you go to the dentist, to keep yourself in health.
Nobody wants to see the dentist,
and why is that exactly? It probably has something to do with drills and your mouth. But what most people don't realize is that he can fix your dental problems without any drilling whatsoever. New methods available meant that he can fill gaps, whiten teeth and even replace missing ones, all without the drill. Whatever problem you suffer from, your dental surgeon has the answer.
Fill 'Er Up
Holes in your teeth? This is not a good state of affairs. Luckily, cosmetic dentistry offers inlays and onlays to fill up those holes. No more wind whistling through your pearly whites!
Inlays and onlays are made of porcelain. This easy treatment can be done in just two appointments. At the first one, the physician makes a mold and gives you a temporary inlay to wear until the permanent one comes. At the second visit, they put in the new inlay and you're ready to go. It works a lot like metal fillings, but porcelain won't stop you at the airport security scanners.
Treat Your Chipped Chompers
Teeth are easier to chip than most folks realize. It just takes one slight misjudgment with a bottle, or some good-natured rough-housing getting a little out of hand, and WHACK - your smile tells the world you're a careless idiot.
For these little disasters, cosmetic dentistry offers composite bonding. This is another technique for filling gaps and holes, but it's even easier. He puts in the composite material, which is made of various particles like silicone and quarts, and then uses light to bond it directly. Composites can be sculpted to fill your chips exactly.
Nobody Likes A Yellow Smile
Tooth discoloration strikes most of us at some time throughout our lives. It's all the food and beverage we consumer over a lifetime, and there's not much you can do to prevent it, no matter what those toothpaste ads say.
That's why there's whitening. These days, whitening has become ridiculously simple. In just a few treatments, you can have that sparkly white movie star smile. There are a variety of treatments, but most involve your dentist putting a tray in your mouth with some goopy gel, and after a few treatments, your teeth will shine.
Using Implants
Get a tooth knocked out of your head? Maybe it's time to give up playing hockey... But don't worry this isn't the end of your smile. Through a variety of methods, your dentist can now get your smile back, using implants.
Dental implants use an artificial root to connect a new tooth so that your smile doesn't have to suffer. These implants are generally better than traditional bridgework, and the result is more natural looking. After all, let's face it: people equate missing teeth with homelessness.
Let your dentist take the terror out of dental work. Get a free consultation with your dentist and see what options are available for fixing your smile. And you hear them warming up the drill, you can always say you have to make a phone call, and slip right out the door.
