Chronic dental stains and discolored tooth enamel can leave you feeling embarrassed about your smile’s appearance. This is often the result of frequent dark beverages consumption or tobacco use. However, some dental staining issues can also occur with age. The dental care specialists at Dowsett Dental Health can safely remove difficult dental stains from your teeth by performing dental bleaching treatment. Yet, the dental stains could gradually reappear.
In a situation like this, Dr. Nathalie Dowsett might recommend cosmetically restoring your smile’s appearance by installing dental veneers. This treatment plan is designed to effectively replace the face of each tooth with a thin shell made from dental grade porcelain.
If one of these teeth has an existing dental filling, an unrepaired fracture in the tooth enamel, or area of dental attrition, your dentist might recommend restoring the tooth with a porcelain dental crown. This will completely replace the exterior of the tooth with the same type of dental porcelain used for your dental veneers.
Any dental crown abutments will be prepared for any required dental crowns. Then an impression will be taken of each tooth intended for cosmetic restoration. This will be sent to a professional dental lab where the dental veneers and dental crowns will be created
You will need to return to Dr. Nathalie Dowsett’s dental office for a second appointment to have the veneers and crowns installed in place. If you live in the Calgary, Alberta, area and you are suffering with an unattractive smile, you should call 403.229.0510 to set up a consult at Dowsett Dental Health.
