\"Stained<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you aren’t happy with how your teeth look, you might want to consider cosmetic dentistry<\/a>. It can transform even the most broken smiles into beautiful ones! That said, you may think there aren\u2019t treatments for your specific issue. If true, wouldn\u2019t a dental visit be pointless? Well, your Kerrville dentist is here to tell you otherwise. Namely, there\u2019s a procedure for almost any smile problem. As proof, here\u2019s a summary of three cosmetic dental flaws and the treatments that solve them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Stained or Discolored Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The\nProblem: <\/strong>Nearly\neveryone experiences tooth stains at some point. Stained or discolored teeth\nhappen pretty often, whether from stain agents in food or aging and medication.\nThat said, they do make smiles look less attractive. After all, anyone would\nprefer white teeth to yellow ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Solution: <\/strong>Thankfully, many cosmetic treatments address tooth stains. For instance, professional teeth whitening bleaches enamel to eliminate even the most stubborn staining. On the other hand, veneers can cover up more severe discoloration. Thanks to their porcelain material, they\u2019d hide your yellows and browns with a gorgeous, shiny white! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cracked or Broken Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Problem:<\/strong> Accidents\nhappen, and sometimes those accidents lead to cracked or broken teeth. Worse\nyet, a tooth that\u2019s chipped or cracked won\u2019t heal itself over time. Leaving it\nalone will ruin your smile and raise your risk of tooth decay and infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Solution:<\/strong> Emergency\ndentists have services that can treat this sort of tooth damage. In particular,\ncosmetic bonding can correct the issue with its tooth-colored resin. Another choice\nis a dental crown, which covers your tooth\u2019s fracture while preserving its\nstructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Crooked Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Problem: <\/strong>Teeth naturally shift as you age. Often, the issue is due to bone loss, tooth grinding, tongue thrusting, and so on. Even so, these shifts can add up and lead to a crooked smile if left unaddressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nSolution:<\/strong>\nEven crooked teeth are no match for cosmetic dentistry. You see, Invisalign\ncould move your shifting teeth back with its clear aligning trays. These\naligners are also more convenient, affordable, and comfortable than traditional\nmetal braces. Alternatively, you could hide the misalignment with porcelain\nveneers, which could improve your smile\u2019s shape and color at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, the dental flaws mentioned above are easily treated with cosmetic dentistry. That being the case, go ahead and book a visit with your local dentist for a better smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
