San Francisco and Marin CA
As you age, your teeth may wear down or become flat on the surface. While this may seem normal, it isn’t, and it shouldn’t be ignored. Teeth may become slightly worn over a lifetime, but if your bite collapses because your teeth are worn down significantly or it’s noticeable and causes you embarrassment, cosmetic dentistry can help. Today on the blog, our expert cosmetic dentists talk about how to fix worn down teeth. Explore which treatment options may be right for you.
Dental crowns
Reinforce and protect your worn-down teeth with dental crowns. Crowns are also known as “caps” because they fit over the entire tooth down to the gum line. This common restoration is made of porcelain that matches your adjacent teeth. The porcelain mimics the look of natural tooth enamel, although it is durable enough for daily chewing and eating. Additionally, crowns are ideal for repairing teeth with extensive damage, cracks, or fractures.
Porcelain veneers
Veneers enhance your smile by concealing common dental issues like teeth that are crooked, gapped, or overlapping. Veneers are also crafted from high quality porcelain that can be chosen in a variety of shades to match adjacent teeth. However, if you’re looking for an entire smile makeover with veneers that cover all the teeth visible when smiling, you could opt for a whiter shade of porcelain to give your overall smile a brighter look.
Dental bonding
Dental bonding can be used in similar instances as porcelain veneers, although bonding can be a little less expensive. Dental bonding uses a composite resin material that is pliable initially, as the dentist molds and shapes the material onto your tooth. Then, a special curing light sets the bond so that the results look like a real tooth. Bonding can also be chosen in various shades and is quite durable and long lasting. Patients often opt for bonding when they have minor tooth imperfections or only need one or two teeth corrected.
