Everyone wants a beautiful smile. A smile reflects a lot about a person. And don't we all notice smiles. Your teeth have a direct impact on your smile. If your teeth don't look attractive, guess how you are perceived by others. Discolored, crooked, uneven, crowded, worn down and chipped teeth stand out like a ketchup stain on a while shirt! Everyone thinks that cosmetic dentistry is always expensive—not so. Most of the time, cosmetic enhancements can be achieved by simple, uncomplicated procedures in just one to two visits. Have you ever noticed someone with a space between their teeth? Well, this space can be closed in just one visit by bonding plastic filling material (composite resin) to the involved teeth. How about a front tooth that has a broken corner. Plastic filling material can be layered to create a natural filling that will not be detectable. The uses of composite resin are endless. Many cosmetic problems can also be corrected by using porcelain. Generally, porcelain is primarily used to cover over the fronts of teeth, hence the terms veneer or facing. This procedure takes two visits. When the teeth are heavily filled or severely damaged, crowns are placed. Crowns encapsulate the tooth., provide strength and to restore function. Creating a new, beautiful smile is dependent on a healthy mouth. At the Frederick Dental Group, prevention and dental health have always been stressed as the basis for state of the art dental care.
