quiz-the-benefits-of-cosmetic-dental-workYour smile is a prominent feature. When you are proud of your smile, it can elevate your confidence, and help you feel more comfortable around others. However, a flawed smile can make you self-conscious; you might have a harder time showing it off, and feel less comfortable in social situations. Cosmetic dental work can make important changes to your appearance by helping address any number of possible dental flaws. You could have improvements to the color of your teeth. You could also have treatments done to fix physical flaws in teeth, like small damages, or congenital problems.

Questions:

True Or False: Porcelain veneers are only intended to address tooth discoloration; there are no other benefits to receiving them.

True Or False: A teeth whitening kit can be provided by your dentist, so that you can improve your tooth color by several shades at home.

Answers:

True! A dental bonding treatment uses composite resin to subtly and effectively cover tooth flaws. You can use this treatment for a discoloration, damages, and to increase the size of a small tooth.

True! You do not have to be in the dentist’s chair to enjoy the change brought about by professional whitening agents. Instead, you can take home the tools you need and do it yourself. In addition to the necessary tools, your dentist can walk you through the process.
