Maybe you are considering getting your teeth done due to chipped teeth, or you want total teeth replacement, and you don’t know the right procedure for you. Or you have probably heard about various dental procedures, and you want to know which is the best for you, have no worries we can offer a guide.
What Is The Best Procedure For You?
First of all, if you have had a teeth injury and lost teeth, you need to make an appointment with a dentist as soon as possible. A consultation is also necessary because the dentist needs to conduct an examination first. Veneers, crowns and implants are restorative procedures that are done on teeth, due to injury, tooth decay, gum disease or for cosmetic reasons. The procedures serve different purposes depending on the damage.
Veneers
A veneer is a thin piece of material that covers the front surface of the tooth for cosmetic purposes.
They are used for:
- Broken teeth
- Teeth that areshaped unusually
- Brighter or even coloration of stained teeth
- When the teeth are very small
- Closing gaps
Crowns
Crowns are used to strengthen teeth and improve their appearance. They are used where a tooth has a large filling, and the tooth isn’t enough to hold the filling.
Other uses include:
- Protection of weak teeth
- Covering of dental implants
- Restoration of chipped/fractured teeth
- Covering poorly shaped teeth
- The covering of discolored teeth
- Attaching bridges
Implants
They are placed to serve as artificial roots for teeth over which missing teeth can be replaced. They are a remedy for tooth loss and are necessary for the prevention of jaw bone loss. X- Rays and CT scans may be required to determine if the procedure can be done.
