Cosmetic Dentistry and Teeth Whitening in Toms River is a great way to get the smile you always wanted. It will fix cracked, chipped, yellow or crooked teeth. Before you talk to the dentist about having cosmetic work done, you need to make sure that your teeth and gums are healthy and strong. Have any cavities filled and loose teeth removed. This will allow you to make the most of the cosmetic steps all at once, instead of having to go back every couple of months to fix a problem.
Once you are sure there are no infections or cavities in your mouth, have Teeth Whitening in Toms River. You should get your teeth to the color you want before having any implants, partial dentures, veneers or caps made. You may want to wait a week after having your last whitening treatment, to ensure the color is the one you want and to make sure it set.
Dental implants are a type of false teeth that are not removable. The teeth are connected to a post that has been surgically embedded in your jaw bone. After the incision heals, you can have the teeth connected. This can take from 2 to 6 weeks. If you have trouble with bone loss, you can choose to have mini-implants. These do not go as deeply into the jawbone. Your gums do not have to be sliced open. They heal much faster, you can leave with the teeth connected the same day you have the posts embedded.
Partial dentures are false teeth connected to a metal or rubber piece you fit into your mouth. These are taken out for eating, sleeping and brushing. Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or ceramic that are glued to your natural teeth.
A cap can be made of porcelain, ceramic, or a precious metal like gold or silver. The cap is hollow and fits over a chipped tooth. It can take a bit of time to get used to the ridge of the cap. While it is not really noticeable, you can be sure your tongue will feel it.
By having the teeth whitened in Toms River before ordering the cosmetic pieces, you can be sure to order the color that better fits your tooth’s new color. Now, when you smile, your teeth will be white, straight, and perfect. Please contact for more information: Shore Family Dental Assoc.
