What’s Wrong With Your Teeth?

Patients come to us with all kinds of complaints. A common one is “I don’t like the way my teeth look and feel.” Does that sound familiar to you? Most often, the problem is visible wear, discoloration, chips, or cracks. While any damage to tooth enamel could be serious, many times we can fix it with a simple, non-invasive treatment.

Cracked, Chipped, Worn, or Discolored Teeth

If you’re like most people, your teeth get a lot of use. Between biting, chewing, speaking, clenching, and grinding, your teeth are under near-constant stress. And while tooth enamel is meant to last a lifetime, it’s not indestructible. So, if you’re not careful about how you use your teeth (think chewing on ice or biting on a pen cap), and have spent years consuming acidic food and drinks, or using tobacco products, it’s likely your tooth enamel is weakened and susceptible to damage. 

Chips, cracks, visible wear, and staining can start small but may worsen with time. Not only does this put your oral health at risk, but it also takes a toll on your self-esteem when the smile you see in the mirror doesn’t match the image you have in your head. The good news is that we can treat these problems and give you a smile that better reflects how you see yourself. 

Treatment Options For You

We have several ways to repair damaged teeth, including:

• Dental Bonding – a tooth-colored composite we mold to your tooth to even out rough edges and cover up slight cracks
• Veneers – porcelain shells we bond to the fronts of teeth to camouflage discoloration, wear, chips, and cracks
• Dental Crowns – caps that completely cover damaged teeth, restoring their shape, size, color, and strength
• Teeth Whitening – a bleaching treatment to remove deep and superficial stains

We may recommend one treatment or a combination, depending on your goals. Any of these treatment options will give you a more uniform and youthful-looking smile.

When you visit us for a consultation, we will examine your teeth, assess any damage, and create a custom treatment plan that will meet all your needs and goals. At the end of the day, we want you to love your smile.
