For many people, cosmetic or restorative dentistry is associated with common but visible faults like yellow stains and chipped enamel, especially if these problems are consequences of stress-related grinding and clenching. But cosmetic procedures can also address subtler issues such as worn tooth surfaces caused by bacteria eroding tooth material away over time.
Fractured Teeth
Teeth can become fractured because of trauma, injury, or accident. Cosmetic dentists can treat most fractured teeth to restore the damaged tooth.
Teeth can also be easily fractured for several reasons, such as improper brushing and flossing, eating hard foods like apples and pretzels, chewing ice cubes, and using tools containing harsh bristles.
Another common cause of worn, fractured teeth is bruxism or grinding and clenching. Clenching can wear away the hard enamel surfaces of teeth, while grinding causes microfractures in chewing surfaces, which become more pronounced with each subsequent grind. Bruxism may also lead to tooth sensitivity and increased decay along worn surfaces.
Decayed Teeth
Cavities can also cause damage to teeth. Decay begins on the outside of the tooth and works its way in, so it's essential to see an experienced dentist if you suspect decay has begun or is present.
Cavities are sometimes caused by food trapped between teeth or around braces. Brushing too hard or using an incorrect technique may wear away the enamel, allowing cavity-causing bacteria to settle into damaged areas and begin decomposing tooth structure below the surface of the tooth.
Root Canaled Teeth
Root canal procedures are sometimes necessary. When decay has gone too far, the pulp must be removed, and the tooth is left with an empty internal space.
Your cosmetic dentist has a solution for root-canaled gaps within your teeth. With the correct procedure, you can regain your natural smile and teeth function, which may have been previously affected by a root canal.
The Best Materials and Procedures
Sometimes, teeth can be so damaged that the only way to restore the worn teeth is through indirect dental treatments such as crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges, or veneers.
