COSMETIC DENTISTRY

Causes: Beverages like coffee, tea, soda, and wine are primary offenders in staining your pearly whites, especially with regular consumption. This is because your tooth enamel contains microscopic pits where pigments in these beverages can dig in and do their damage. Smoking, bacteria, and aging can also cause your teeth to lose their luster. At Dentalopolis, our cosmetic dentist has several ways to restore the shine.

Causes: If your teeth are in the wrong position, the culprit is usually tooth crowding or insufficient space. This generally happens when your jaw doesn’t have enough room, either from the jaw being too small or your teeth being too big. It can also be due to a disruption in the process of tooth eruption (when your teeth come in). Correcting misaligned teeth is critical to your long-term dental health and the appearance of your smile. If improperly managed, it can lead to years of hassle and frustration at the dentist’s office. Don’t worry though, because we have a cosmetic dentistry solution that will get you straightened out.

Causes: Ignored or poorly treated cavities and gum disease are among the leading causes of missing teeth. Trauma — getting a tooth “knocked out” from a fall, sporting injury, or similar accident — is another common cause. And in some cases, teeth are missing from birth or there is no adult tooth to replace the “baby tooth”. If you’re missing a tooth, we specialize in dental implants, which look and feel just like the real thing! Bridges and dentures can also replace missing teeth and restore your smile.
