Smiling is something we do naturally when we’re happy about something, but that’s not the only reason to smile. The act of smiling can improve your mood, relieve stress, lower your blood pressure, and boost your immune system.
However, several dental conditions can affect your teeth and overall oral health and make you less likely to share your smile with others.
Are you hiding your smile because of dental problems? Dr. Gabrielle Bekov and her dedicated staff at City Dental Studio in Cooper City, Florida, can help you appreciate those pearly whites again.
Reasons people may hesitate to show their teeth include:
Your teeth are never a bright white (they’re naturally a pale yellow), but discoloration can result from gum disease, tooth decay, smoking, and other causes.
Also known as misaligned teeth, this condition includes overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite, and crowded teeth.
Tooth damage often results from impact injuries, teeth grinding (bruxism), and biting on hard foods. The damage can be severe enough to warrant an extraction.
Also referred to as excessive gingival display, a gummy smile means too much of your gum line is visible when you show your teeth.
At City Dental Studio, we offer a variety of smile makeover options to help brighten and improve teeth, such as:
This common treatment helps brighten teeth with a whitening gel containing hydrogen or carbamide peroxide. We may also use a laser to accelerate the whitening process.
Chips, gaps, discoloration, and cracks in teeth can be treated with this composite resin material that matches the natural color of your teeth. Dental bonding can also fill cavities, replace fillings, and protect teeth experiencing gum recession.
Misaligned teeth can be managed with dental braces that gradually move teeth into proper alignment. At City Dental Studio, we use Invisalign® clear aligners to help straighten teeth and improve their appearance.
These thin, porcelain or resin-based composite coverings are applied to the surfaces of teeth to help with discoloration or chips, cracks, or gaps.
We perform this procedure to reshape your gums and remove excess tissue, allowing you to show more of your teeth.
There are a variety of ways to help you feel better about your smile. If you’re ready to see what we can do for you, request an appointment by phone or online with Dr. Bekov and her team at City Dental Studio today.
