Individual’s teeth are, without doubt, one of their most important assets. Teeth are what give shape to the face; they determine what we eat and how we eat it. To maintain them is of paramount importance, proper care and attention must be paid to them on a daily basis as well as a period basis.
Twice every day the teeth must be carefully brushed and flossed. On a period basis, every six months is the recommended, a person should visit their dentist. These semi-annual visits are used for a professional cleaning to remove all the built up tartar and it gives the dentist a chance to visually inspect the teeth for any evidence of trouble. The cleaning rids your teeth of the buildup of plaque and tartar, these lead to eventual decay and the formation of unwanted bacteria which leads to halitosis; bad breath.
Over time, regardless of how religiously a person looks after their teeth, age takes a toll on them. If you smoke the teeth will become stained from the tar, if you participate in an active sport you will probably get a tooth chipped or in the worse case, knocked completely out of the socket. Should these things happen, and they do, you will want to consult with cosmetic dentists in Chicago.
Cosmetic dentists are licensed to practice dentistry but they have elected to go on and get specialized training, training that will allow them to put your teeth and your smile back to what they once were; cosmetically speaking. If the problem is discoloration and stains, the cosmetic dentist can whiten them using a peroxide solution, perfectly safe; so much so it can even be used at home. For teeth that are chipped or worn along the biting surfaces the cosmetic dentists in Chicago can add a porcelain veneer to the exposed surface. A veneer is ideal when there are small gaps between the teeth, minor imperfections as well as for brightening. A somewhat similar procedure is bonding but rather than a wafer which is affixed to the tooth with adhesive, the material is spread directly on the tooth and then polished.
For years, if a tooth was lost to an accident or decay, the only solution was a bridge or denture. Today, cosmetic dentists in Chicago can give the patient a new tooth altogether. A titanium insert is implanted in the jaw bone and a cosmetic crown is affixed to the insert once it has completely boned with the jaw bone. A tooth implant is virtually a third chance at perfect teeth.
