Cosmetic dentistry employs a wide variety of techniques to restore an attractive smile. Dental crowns come in the form of solid shells that permanently covers the natural tooth to restore its shape and function. It is used to restore a tooth weakened by a large decay, a fracture or a crack, a bulky restoration, or a tooth with a weak residual tooth structure putting it at risk of breaking. The crown is then used to restore strength to the tooth, thus avoiding possible fractures. The crown can also be used for aesthetic reasons.
It can be designed from several materials. Some new cosmetic dentistry technologies allow dentists to create a complete crown or a partial crown in one appointment. The patient leaves the clinic with the final restoration cemented in the mouth. They no longer needs to worry about a temporary that makes hygiene more difficult and is at risk of taking off. However, in cases where aesthetics is at stake, the dentist may opt to make the crowns in the laboratory resulting in two appointments. When it comes to anterior teeth, the ceramist is able to give more life to the restoration, which gives it a completely natural look.
The crown is a comfortable, long-lasting solution that can restore weakened teeth that you do not dare to chew any more. Do not hesitate to meet us to obtain all the necessary information concerning this treatment.
Teeth whitening
It should be known that teeth darken naturally with age. In addition, some products can affect the appearance of teeth by causing stains on their surfaces. Among other things, there are tobacco products, certain foods and certain drinks, including coffee, tea and red wine.
If you want to make your smile brighter by using tooth whitening, it is best to consult your dentist beforehand. The practitioner can then establish the cause of the discoloration and determine if the treatment will have the desired effects. It is possible that the bleaching is not optimal if there is the presence of fillings, extremely dark spots or endodontic treatment.
Before starting a whitening treatment, ensure that your dental health is adequate. Imprints of your teeth will then be taken in order to make personalized gutters. The duration of treatment is about two weeks, but may vary depending on the initial tinge of your teeth. To obtain an optimal result, it is strongly suggested to avoid smoking and to consume certain products such as coffee, tea and red wine, throughout the duration of the treatment. Gutters can be stored and reused for future alterations, if necessary.
