VENEERS AND MORE
Recent advancements in dental technology have introduced a less intrusive method of correcting crooked, stained and chipped teeth. Now with the introduction of porcelain veneers patients have more options in treating dental distortions.
TRADITIONAL METHODS
Traditional methods of correcting dental distortions involved labor-intensive preparation for crowns where drilling and removal of irreplaceable tooth structure is needed to prepare the tooth. With the development of porcelain veneers, patients are now able to correct gaps, stains, and broken or misshapen teeth with a simple surface application of the veneers.
NEW METHODS WITH VENEERS
Essentially, a porcelain veneer is an ultra-thin layer of porcelain applied to the surface of your teeth. Because porcelain veneers are designed to cover unsightly tooth distortions, there is no drilling, or discomfort associated with crowns. Wearers of veneers can now have a beautiful, even smile, with permanently white teeth, without the cost or discomfort of past dental procedures.
Consider your gums as a living foundation for your teeth. So important is this foundation that, without healthy gum structure, your teeth will become unstable and at-risk for tooth loss.
The Cause of Gum Disease
Periodontal disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss in the United States. Periodontal disease is formed when harmful bacteria are lodged beneath the gum line, creating pockets or gaps between your gums and teeth. These pockets become infected and over time can destroy bone, teeth, and gum foundation. Smoking, genetics, pregnancy, stress and nutrition have all been found to be factors in the cause of gum disease.
