A PICTURE PERFECT SMILE
Cosmetic dentistry may be for you if any of the following issues make you feel self-conscious:
- Broken, chipped or cracked teeth
- Teeth that look too long, short, or pointed
- Spaces between teeth
- Missing teeth
Cosmetic bonding is a process in which Dr. Tipton attaches or “bonds” materials directly to your tooth in order to change the color and shape. The natural tooth enamel is then fused together with resins to create a strong structure that still feels like your original tooth. While it can be used for different purposes, according to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, tooth bonding is most useful for repairing chipped teeth. That’s because the bonding materials used are natural in color, and allows for a finished product that closely matches your surrounding teeth.
A crown covers a tooth to help restore it to its normal shape, size and function. A crown can make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance. If you have a missing tooth, a bridge can help restore your smile.
