If you have decided on your own which type of dental treatment you need for your smile, we encourage you to rethink your approach at reaching a diagnosis. We know that the dental care you require may seem obvious but in many instances, you may require cosmetic dentistry when you assume you need something else! To avoid this blunder, we suggest you come see us for a consultation at your leisure. As for some surprising times cosmetic care is what you need, think through a few examples.
When Your Smile Looks Unhealthy (But Isn’t)
You brush and floss and do everything right. As a result, your smile is healthy and free of disease. However, you notice that it doesn’t look amazing, so you assume you must need to add something to your preventive care. While we understand why you might make this assumption, the truth is that it’s probably just time for cosmetic dentistry. It will help the appearance of your smile reflect its level of health.
When You Think You Need Restorative Care (But Don’t)
Maybe you have some minor damage like a chipped tooth or a very minor crack. As a result, your brain may immediately insist that damage requires repair, which means you need restorative care. However, for esthetic damage, this is not true. Instead, cosmetic dentistry can make things better.
When You Assume You Need Braces (But Don’t)
Why do you think you need braces? Spaces between your teeth? A tooth that barely overlaps another one? Something about your smile makes it look asymmetrical? If your alignment is fine but you have some issues with the consistency of its appearance, cosmetic dentistry may be all you need.
