For whatever reason – dental deterioration, enamel discoloration, gaps, or crowding – many people are unhappy with their teeth. With thoughtful choices and the guidance of an experienced Louisville dentist, you can make dental care choices that make it easy to love your smile.
1. Teeth Cleaning
A professional teeth cleaning from your dentist every six months is the bare minimum in oral health care. Oral health is also examined for signs of gum disease or oral cancer and you can ask about concerns or smile upgrades.
2. Gummy Smile Treatment
Excess gum tissue has many patients disliking their smile. If you have just as much pink showing as white tooth enamel, a gummy smile treatment lasers off unwanted gum tissue to reveal more tooth and create a bigger smile.
3. Teeth Whitening
If you want the most bang for your buck, teeth whitening is a great choice. Yellowish or discolored teeth can often be bleached to appear several times whiter and deliver a perfect smile, even if it’s an illusion.
4. Tooth-Colored Fillings
If you want healthier, stronger teeth, exchanging old or silver fillings for tooth-colored fillings gets the job done. Composite material is matched to tooth enamel so it blends in and makes teeth look like they never had a problem.
5. Porcelain Veneers
One of the biggest gestures that show how much you love your smile, porcelain veneers are a powerful and transformative cosmetic dentistry treatment. Each veneer is carefully designed to look and feel like natural teeth and work together to build a stunning, flawless smile that lasts.
6. Dental Crowns
When a tooth is too damaged to fix with just a filling, or if an old restoration is falling apart, a porcelain dental crown is designed just for your tooth. This repair caps a problem area and rebuilds a smile in poor condition.
7. Dental Implants
Have one or more missing teeth? Wear dentures but dislike the adhesive and instability? Dental implants are permanent restorations, with the implant surgically put in place and a crown topping the abutment to provide a solid tooth (or teeth) as part of your smile.
8. Invisalign
If you are ready to straighten teeth that are crooked, gapped, twisted, or otherwise flawed, Invisalign is the discreet way to make a change. Customized trays are worn 20 to 22 hours a day, lovingly hugging teeth until they move into full alignment, work properly, look great, and transform your smile.
9. Dental Sealants
Often reserved for children without the greatest brushing techniques, dental sealants are also a good option for adults with thin tooth enamel or frequent cavities. It’s a fast and easy preventive method that promotes good oral health.
10. TMJ Treatment
If you grind and clench your teeth while you sleep or even during waking hours, it’s time to talk to your dentist about a nightguard to protect tooth enamel, prevent gum recession and broken teeth, and minimize jaw pain and headaches.
