What To Do About The Effect Of Wear And Tear On Your Teeth

It can be hard to avoid a small buildup of wear and tear on our teeth. After all, the acts of biting and chewing food makes some stress necessary, and unavoidable. Unfortunately, the toll taken on your teeth by everyday actions can eventually lead to cosmetic concerns. Your teeth might look duller, or make you appear older. If you want to find a way to offset this effect, you may want to discuss cosmetic dental work. Your dentist can provide care that hides the presence of flaws in your smile. In cases where wear and tear are more significant, your dentist may recommend restorative dental work, so that your teeth have the protection they need.

Porcelain Veneers Can Cover Up Your Dental Flaws

If you are approved to have porcelain veneers placed, they can have a major remarkable effect on how you look. Once placed, veneers can make your teeth look healthy, with wear and tear covered. You can also use this cosmetic treatment to make your teeth whiter. In fact, many people use veneers to improve their smile’s color when they struggle with issues that are not fixable through a whitening treatment.

Serious Dental Damage May Require Restorative Dental Care

Wear and tear may be a natural consequence of biting and chewing, but some teeth can suffer more harm than others. If a review of your smile determines that you have a tooth with impaired function, your dentist may prefer to protect it with a dental crown. A crown can support a vulnerable tooth, and – thanks to the use of materials like porcelain and zirconia – help improve how it looks.
