Spending Saturday nights taking a selfie that is missing
your smile can become damaging to your self-esteem. While people around you
open-mouth laugh, smile at the camera and share in stories, are you thinking
about ways to cover up your smile? Well no more, here are four awesome
restorative options to fix your smile.
1. Veneers. There has been a lot of recent information on
how veneers can help your smile. They cover up your teeth and provide a new
looking smile. “They function like your permanent set of teeth and can provide
you with a healthy, white smile,” says prosthodontist, Dr. Judy Strutz. Keep in
mind, though, they need to be maintained with brushing, flossing and regular
visits to the dentist.
2. Whitening. If your teeth are stained or not as white as
they used to be, whitening is an easy option. While there are several at home
kits, you may find you get better results by having whitening done in your
dental office, either using the same day method, or getting whitening trays
that fit to your smile.
3. Replace missing teeth. Bridges can be used to replace a
missing tooth. Dr. Strutz explains, “A missing
tooth can be replaced using a fixed bridge or by using an implant depending on
what is going to best fit your smile.” An implant to restore a missing tooth
will be placed in the jawbone and just restore the one tooth, while a fixed bridge uses your natural teeth
on either side of the missing tooth to hold it in place.
4. Fillings. Fix any fillings that are cracked, missing or
damaged. Fillings can decrease not only the ability for your teeth to function
properly it can cause your smile to appear unhealthy.
