Want New Teeth? The Cosmetic Dentist’s Repertoire For Working Magic On Pueblo CO Residents’ Damaged Teeth, PART 2

This four-part article series takes a closer look at the various technologies and techniques available for the repair and replacement of damaged, worn and discolored teeth.

Welcome to the second installment of this four-part article series on the various tools, treatments, techniques and technology available for the perfection of smiles. In our previous article, Part 1, we spoke to a panel of Pueblo CO cosmetic dentists who explained what a remarkable difference a simple professional teeth cleaning or teeth whitening treatment can make for the appearance of one’s smile. If, however, your dental woes are a little more serious and you feel that you’re in desperate need of new teeth, there are still several options for you. We will be exploring those in this article and in the next.

Dental Veneers

Have you ever owned a table that had its fair share of stains, coffee rings and burn marks from the time you learned the hard way that incense ash is as hot as the actual cinder? Most of us have. The solution? Throw a pretty tablecloth over it to make it look like new!

Dental or porcelain veneers are similar in concept. A dental veneer is an ultra-fine shell or covering of porcelain material that is custom-made by a cosmetic dentist to fit over the front surface of a tooth. The tooth in question will be very stained or perhaps deeply discolored. It may even be chipped, cracked or fractured, or it may have a large gap between it and the next one. Whatever the imperfection, your Pueblo cosmetic dentist can custom design a veneer to fit over it, camouflaging it quite neatly!

If you are totally unhappy with your smile, you can have veneers fitted to all of your teeth, quite literally giving you a smile makeover, or you can have just one mounted onto a particularly unaesthetic tooth. The sky’s the limit!

Veneers are considered a cosmetic treatment, but in cases where they are replacing portions of the tooth structure that have been lost to accidental trauma or decay, they can actually help to preserve the health of the tooth. They can actually help to prevent you from needing new teeth sooner rather than later.

Dental Bonding and Tooth Colored Fillings

Gone are the days when dentists would recommend amalgam fillings to patients in need of dental repair. New, tooth-colored fillings are the most aesthetic and beneficial solution for teeth that require a cavity filled, areas of decay patched up or particularly deep cusps filled in (sealants). If you still have amalgam fillings from childhood, it is more than possible to have them replaced with a far more attractive and natural looking ceramic tooth-colored filling, so speak to your dentist!

“A timely filling or dental bonding can go very far in helping to prevent a tooth sustaining further damage or decay and with the development of today’s advanced, durable and tooth-colored restorative materials, the job can be just as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional,” say Pueblo CO dental implant dentists.
