Many adults don’t like the appearance of their teeth because few people have naturally flawless smiles. Aesthetic concerns can range from tooth discoloration and chips to more advanced issues, like missing teeth. Dr. Makadia knows every smile differs and everyone has unique goals. Whether from age, genetics, lifestyle choices, or poor oral hygiene, Dr. Makadia provides innovative solutions to create stunning smiles. Here are just a few examples of how Dr. Makadia has addressed 4 of the most common cosmetic dental problems.
1. Missing Teeth
Despite the latest advancements in dentistry, tooth loss is still a frequent problem. Dr. Makadia offers multiple solutions to replace missing teeth based on a patient’s needs and preferences. After examining the patient’s mouth featured above, Dr. Makadia explained their options to restore their smile, such as a traditional bridge or a dental implant. The patient chose the option she could afford and gave her the smile she was looking for. She was extremely happy with the results.
A dental implant rebuilds the entire tooth from the root up to closely look and function like a real tooth. It’s the only treatment to stop bone loss in the jaw to prevent common issues associated with lost teeth, like cavities and gum disease.
2. Alignment Problems
Crooked, gapped, or overcrowded teeth can be a leading source of embarrassment for adults; however, the sightly appearance of brackets and wires are concerning. Dr. Makadia provided a discreet solution for the patient above, who wanted to correct their alignment issues to improve their oral health and quality of life. Although there are several orthodontic systems, Dr. Makadia recommended Invisalign. The clear aligners are worn over the teeth to reposition them. In less than 1 year, the patient had the healthy, beautiful smile they desired.
3. Chipped or Cracked Teeth
Enamel is the hardest substance in the body, but it isn’t indestructible. Teeth can chip or break from trauma or untreated dental issues. No matter the cause, Dr. Makadia can save cracked and chipped teeth to restore their health and integrity using natural-looking solutions. Dr. Makadia fixed one patient’s minor chips and cracks with direct bonding while another patient required a crown from a significant break.
4. Tooth Discoloration
Teeth naturally darken because enamel gets thinner with age. When age is combined with poor brushing habits, frequent coffee consumption, or years of smoking, teeth can turn brown or yellow. Genetics, lifestyle habits, and oral hygiene aren’t the only causes of discoloration, which is why Dr. Makadia examines each smile to determine a suitable treatment. Besides staining, the patient above had several concerns, but Dr. Makadia resolved them all using procedures catering to their needs, like a whitening treatment.
