Riverside Dentist Unveils Unusual Source for Plump Lips
Buxom lips have been a Hollywood trend that has trickled into regular society over the years. Plumping lip glosses are one way to add a little volume to your lips. Botox injections are a bit more extreme, but a sure way to enhance your pout. Many patients inadvertently achieve lip enlargements when they opt for porcelain veneers. Your Riverside dentists at Riverside Dental Group, will explain the many benefits of veneers.
What are Veneers?
Veneers are a popular way for people to build up their self-confidence by making over their smile. The process of fitting a patient with porcelain veneers involves bonding porcelain shells over existing teeth to present a whiter, brighter, better shaped smile. Porcelain is used because it mimics the look of natural tooth enamel so your veneers don’t appear manufactured. Patients that opt for veneers are generally seeking a fix for teeth that are worn down, damaged by chips and cracks, or have discoloration that doesn’t respond to teeth bleaching. Your 92506 dentist often places veneers as a solution for people that are concerned about many cosmetic dental flaws at the same time.
Veneers Offer More than a Gorgeous Smile
When you receive dental veneers, an enhancement of the natural curvature of the lips is a possibility. Not all patients will see a noticeable lip enlargement, but depending on the width of the prosthetic teeth, and the structure of a patient’s mouth, plumper lips are sometimes achieved. Many patients also report a reduction in wrinkles around the mouth due to the positioning of veneers. There are few cosmetic dental options that multi-task issues the way that porcelain dental veneers do. Furthermore, veneers provide the opportunity to makeover your smile without a need for special care. You can brush and floss teeth adorned with veneers just as if you were caring for your natural teeth.

TMJ Pain Explained by Moreno Valley Dentists
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) can manifest in pain in the muscles and joints on the side of your face that help you open and close your mouth. These joints (often referred to as TMJs) act as hinges to help you open and close your mouth. Every moment that you talk, yawn, or chew, your jaw joints and muscles are hard at work. While it is reasonable to assume that the full-blown condition of chronic pain and inflammation in these joints will stay isolated to the jaw, this may not end up being the case. Joints and muscles in your jaw are so interconnected with other parts of your body, there is a high likelihood that seemingly unrelated aches and pains might result from TMD. Your Moreno Valley dentists at Dental Associates of Moreno Valley, will tell you more. (more…)
