More About Cosmetic Dentistry
At Lakeside Dentistry, Drs. Karen Tritinger-Young and Steven Kitts provide Yakima WA patients with several cosmetic dentistry procedures to rejuvenate their smile and give them confidence again.
Here are a few procedures she provides:
You Can Get Crowns
Crowns are cap-like oral appliances made of porcelain. They're made at a lab after your dentist takes an impression of your teeth. These custom crowns are made just for you and are used to restore teeth structure, function, and appearance.
Crowns protect teeth after invasive procedures, like root canals, or when a significant amount of natural tooth is removed. Crowns prevent exposure to bacteria, decrease the chances of teeth breaking, and reinforces teeth to withstand various degrees of pressure so you can enjoy your steak or raw broccoli.
Crowns are also great in that they're used for other procedures, like attaching bridges, covering dental implants, covering an existing filling that may be dislocated, and covering stained or discolored teeth
Have you considered veneers?
Veneers resurface damaged teeth and are completely cosmetic. When you come into your Yakima WA cosmetic dentistry office, your doctor will examine your teeth and assess if veneers are right for you. If she decides it is, then she'll deal with any underlying issues, like cavities, then make a model of your teeth to be sent to a lab. The dental lab will make a custom set of veneers matching the color of your teeth.
Dentists use veneers, a thin sheet that looks like the frontal surface of a tooth, to hide the following:
- Stained or discolored teeth because of poor hygiene, drinking coffee and tea, smoking, or chewing tobacco.
- Mishappened teeth, which includes: crooked, worn or chipped teeth, irregularly shaped teeth, and minor gaps.
- Changing the shape of teeth to make edges look sharper or rounder.
