There is nothing particularly mysterious about cosmetic dentistry, as practiced at Mirelez Wellness Dental in Fresno. And yet, certain myths about it prevail. We’ll try to spike a few here:
Myth #1: Cosmetic Dentistry is Never Necessary for a Healthy Smile
Many so-called cosmetic dental procedures are not solely cosmetic. Some, such as tooth replacement, prevent many potential problems such as tooth movement, bone loss and difficulty chewing and speaking.
Myth #2: A Dental Bridge is the Only Way to Replace a Missing Tooth
Dental bridges have been used for many years with success. However, dental implants are often a better choice for replacing one or more missing teeth. Dental implants have many vital advantages. They feel like natural teeth, they are stronger, and they are easier to clean than dental bridges. Implants can also be used to anchor dentures or partial dentures.
Myth #3: At-Home Kits are as Effective for Tooth Whitening Than a Professional Dental Solution
At Mirelez Wellness Dental, we offer our dental patients teeth whitening treatments that are generally more effective than at-home kits. At-home kits may remove surface stains, but they do not provide best results and can often lead to uneven coloring.
Myth #4: Dental Bonding is the Best Way to Fix a Chipped Tooth.
Dental bonding can restore the shape of a tooth, but may not be the best long-term solution. If you have a damaged tooth, you may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers.
Myth #5: Braces are the Only Way to Correct Crooked Teeth
Braces are often part of a transforming dental makeover for teens and adults alike. However, if your teeth are only slightly crooked, lumineers can reshape your teeth and help you achieve a sensational smile.
