Common Cosmetic Dental Problems
At the office of Terry Bass, D.D.S., our Oklahoma cosmetic dentistry patients see us as experts in custom smile makeovers and look to us to solve a variety of tooth and gum problems. Whether you have always had a problem with how your teeth align, or you are self-conscious about an overly gummy smile, our skilled dental Team can help. Because of the extensive background of our LVI-trained cosmetic dentist and experienced Team, we are uniquely prepared to help you achieve a beautiful, affordable smile.
Common dental problems we encounter and their solutions include:
- Cavities or plaque/tartar build-up – Cavities and plaque/tartar build-up not only threaten the health of teeth and gums, but they can also have a negative impact on the appearance of your smile. To get rid of harmful bacteria, Dr. Bass uses advanced hygiene and periotherapy, a high-tech removal method that finds even the smallest areas of decay. To help restore the look and strength of teeth that have been affected by decay, we place safe, natural-looking porcelain fillings. For particularly large cavities that have caused structural damage, Dr. Bass may recommend dental crowns.
- Crooked teeth – Misaligned teeth can cause you to be self-conscious about your smile. And many Oklahoma cosmetic dentistry patients do not realize that crooked teeth can cause a myriad of dental health problems, too. If the position of your teeth does not present any potential harm, you might consider porcelain veneers or tooth bonding.
- Short or long teeth – Dr. Bass can perform tooth recontouring, a cosmetic dentistry treatment that allows him to reshape enamel to fit exact specifications. Tooth bonding can be used to build-up teeth that are too small.
- Discoloration – Yellowing of the teeth happens to almost everyone as time goes by. Luckily, porcelain veneers, tooth bonding, or tooth whitening treatments can take your smile from dull to dynamic in one to two visits.
- Overbite or underbite – A misaligned bite can result in headaches, jaw pain, and even tooth loss or numbness of the arms.
- Tooth gaps or missing teeth – The tooth bonding procedure is an easy way to fill in spaces between teeth. For patients with missing teeth, dental implants, dental bridges, and dentures are all great options.
- Cracks or chips – To fix small imperfections, Dr. Bass offers dental bonding, porcelain veneers, and tooth recontouring. Dental crowns may be a smart solution for people with structural tooth damage.
- Excess gum tissue – Gum recontouring and tooth recontouring are very effective for improving the look of gummy smiles and elongating the appearance of each tooth.
To address multiple cosmetic dentistry problems simultaneously for a dramatic improvement, consider a custom smile makeover from our experienced Oklahoma dentist.
