Small flaws that affect the shape of your teeth can create significant problems for your appearance. Those changes can make your smile asymmetrical, draw too much attention to a certain tooth, and generally make you look older and in poorer health than you are. Fortunately, cosmetic dentistry provides solutions that only require conservative changes to your tooth structure. At our Corona, CA dentist’s office, we can talk with you about the different options that are available for restoring the look of chipped teeth. Bonding procedures can cover damage with a lifelike resin material, while porcelain veneers can hide flaws behind thin, durable shells that only take up space on the fronts of teeth.

Minor Enamel Damage Can Be A Big Problem For Your Appearance

Small amounts of damage can affect your smile, even if the problem is not serious enough to affect your oral health. While your smile may be healthy, you can feel uncomfortable showing it off because it looks uneven, damaged, and just generally not as attractive as you might wish. While these damages may not require restorative dental work, cosmetic services can provide relief from problems that embarrass you.

How Much Work Will My Dentist Have To Do To Restore My Smile?

By performing dental bonding and contouring treatments, your dentist can restore the appearance of teeth that look unattractive without having to affix any restorations to them. The contouring treatment will change a tooth’s shape, or reduce its size if necessary. The bonding process relies on a composite resin material to cover up flaws like chips, cracks, and even issues with a tooth’s color.

While dental bonding and contouring can help many people, this is not the only treatment option available to you. Teeth with cosmetic flaws can also be restored through the placement of porcelain veneers. Veneers are slim, but they offer enough durability to let you bite and chew without creating problems for your improved appearance. Only minor preparatory work is needed to make space for them.

Serious Damage Can Require Treatment With A Dental Crown

Your teeth will need to be evaluated before you move forward with any cosmetic procedure. If their condition is a concern, a restorative procedure may be needed instead of cosmetic treatment. To protect a vulnerable chipped tooth, we can recommend the placement of a dental crown. A crown made from the right material can still offer esthetic benefits, as it can look natural and attractive.
