When you aren’t 100 percent happy about your smile, you can visit a cosmetic dentist for an evaluation. While you might have white teeth that look healthy, it is still possible to have a smile line that isn’t perfect. Today, cosmetic dentists can use computer software to analyze the structure of your face to create a unique smile. After analyzing your teeth and smile, the cosmetic dentist can make recommendations to improve your facial appearance with dental implants, veneers or teeth restorations. You might need only one type of dental cosmetic improvement, or it is possible to have several types of cosmetic procedures to improve your smile.

Replace a Dental Bridge With One or More Dental Implants

If you have a dental bridge in your mouth, then it may feel uncomfortable, or it might become difficult to keep clean. Instead of coping with a dental bridge, you can have dental implants inserted into the alveolar bone of your gums. In the past, cosmetic dentists didn’t know very much about dental implants, but now, it is possible for more patients to have these devices. When you lack bone in your gum tissue, you can undergo treatment with prescription medications that will help new bone tissue to grow. This process can take several months, but it can make it possible for you to have one or more dental implants to replace your lost teeth.

Dental Implants Offer Several Benefits 

Inserting dental implants might require multiple procedures to drill and insert the titanium posts before adding customized natural-looking crowns. It can take several months for the titanium post to integrate securely with your alveolar bone, and during this time, your cosmetic dentist will collect X-rays to check the status of your healing. There are wonderful benefits from having dental implants, including:

• The devices feel more comfortable
• The dental implants won’t slip inside your mouth
• You don’t need to cope with removable dentures
• It is easier to chew food
• You can talk easily without any speech impediments
• A reduction in bad breath
• Improvements of your self-esteem

Depending on the location of a dental implant and your oral health, the porcelain or cosmetic crown will last as long as 15 years. A cosmetic dentist can make repairs to the crown or create a new crown to place on the current titanium post.
