Going to the dentist is a great way to keep your teeth and gums healthy. But if you have teeth that are crooked, deformed, or yellow, your dentist is also the best place to have your smile transformed into straight, white, beautiful teeth. When you have a dental procedure that improves the appearance of your teeth, it is called cosmetic dentistry. But cosmetic dentistry is not only for looks. It can actually improve your teeth by either sealing a cracked tooth so bacteria can not get inside or replacing a tooth with a dental implant that helps maintain bone in your jaw. Choosing the best cosmetic dentist in Johnson County is crucial for getting the look and care you want.

What to do for cracked teeth?

If you have a cracked or chipped tooth that is not causing you pain and you are ready to get it fixed, there are a few options. The most inexpensive way to fix a broken tooth is to have it covered up and sealed with esthetic bonding. This material is placed directly on the tooth and your dentist will spread it and shape it until it covers the crack or chip, and looks smooth and natural. It will last several years but the appearance is greatly dependent on the skill of your dentist. Choosing the right dentist in Johnson County could make all the difference with this procedure.

What to do for yellow teeth?

While there are multiple types of products at the store that can whiten your teeth, you will have to wear strips, trays, or a brush on solution for about 20 days to achieve the shade of white that you want. If you want a faster solution, ask your cosmetic dentist about in-office teeth whitening. In just 30 minutes, you could leave the dentist office with dazzling, white teeth that will last for years.

What to do for a full mouth makeover?

If you have multiple teeth that are out of line, gaps in between teeth, or have multiple misshapen or short teeth, your Johnson County dentist has a solution for your smile. Using invisible braces to straighten your teeth will not only make your teeth easier to clean, but it will make your smile beautiful. If the actual shape or condition of your teeth is undesirable, you can have porcelain veneers attached to the front of your teeth. This procedure lasts for up to 20 years and is well worth the investment for a sparkling, perfect smile. If you have lost a tooth recently either through trauma or needing to have it pulled, you can have a dental implant put in the gap. If you have a missing tooth, the bone beneath the gap will begin to dissolve, which can affect the other teeth next to the gap. A dental implant will stop the loss of jaw bone so all your teeth stay aligned and healthy.
