Many people think of a cosmetic dentist as someone who creates Hollywood style smiles. Now you can have a perfect looking smile thanks to cosmetic dentistry. However, the reality is that Dr. Steele does far more than creating perfect smiles. Patients with oral health issues and damaged teeth can also benefit from her skills and expertise.
In the past dentistry was rather rudimentary. If your Grandma broke her tooth, there is a good chance that the dentist ended up pulling it. This type of treatment manifested many of the fears people have about visiting the dentist today. Fortunately, modern technology has revolutionized dentistry and now there are multiple options for treating and fixing damaged teeth that are comfortable and convenient.
As a cosmetic dentist, Dr. Steele specializes in correcting damaged teeth and providing patients with dental solutions that meet their needs and are perfect for an active lifestyle. Every year millions of people are in a car accident or hurt on the job, which can lead to damaged teeth. However, it doesn’t mean that a tooth needs to be pulled or that a patient needs to have a metal restoration. There are many cosmetic dentistry solutions that can make the tooth look naturally beautiful again:
- Dental veneers. This is a common solution in restorative dentistry because they can correct so many dental issues. A veneer is a thin shell that is placed on top of the tooth and can restore teeth that have been cracked or chipped. The veneer looks completely natural and can also be used to cover dark stains or correct uneven teeth.
- Dental crowns. A crown is used when a tooth needs to be restored and strengthened. Unlike a veneer that sits on top of your existing tooth, a dental crown surrounds the tooth like a cap. They can be made in all-ceramic and ceramic-on-metal so that patients can have them placed on front teeth without anyone noticing.
- Dental implants. Dr. Steele also provides patients with dental implants. These can be used to replace teeth that have fallen out in an accident or due to poor oral health. An implant is a permanent solution to replacing a tooth that feels and looks completely natural. This is an ideal solution for those with an active lifestyle that don’t want the inconvenience of wearing dentures.
A cosmetic dentist can provide these solutions with expert precision. Dental technology has made it possible to save damaged teeth. The key is working with a dental professional that understands how to make restorations look completely natural. This is one of the main benefits of working with Dr. Steele. The restoration will blend in with your natural teeth so that you can’t tell the difference when looking in the mirror. As a sedation dentist, she also ensures that patients are completely comfortable during the process.
