Full-Mouth Restoration
Restorative dentistry can give you a smile lift! Returning your smile to its original beauty requires a combination of artistic talent and advanced dental technology. It also involves rebuilding tooth structure to its original size and shape. Your smile becomes whiter and your teeth regain a more youthful appearance. In most cases, head and neck aches disappear. Decay is eliminated. Older restorations are replaced by ones that look like your natural teeth. Porcelain crowns, white fillings, all-porcelain veneers and porcelain onlays provide the perfect restorations for a beautiful, white, younger-looking smile. The goal of restorative dentistry is to create a smile that is healthy, balanced and in natural harmony with your facial features.
For individuals in competitive professions, a beautiful smile often gives them a greater self-confidence and assurance. They look successful and often report an improvement in both their business and personal relationships. Restorative dentistry can give you a beautiful, healthy smile that you can enjoy and share with others. Porcelain veneers and all-porcelain crowns can create the appearance and whiteness that you desire for your teeth.
Some people have teeth that look too short or square due to the relationship between their teeth and gums. This creates a gummy smile. A procedure called gum contouring is often used to remove excess gum tissue and expose more of the crown of the tooth. In fact, your gum line can be carefully sculpted to create just the right proportion between gum tissue and tooth surface -- and the result is a better-looking smile.
Changing your gum line can have a tremendous impact on your smile. This procedure is often done concurrently with porcelain veneers. Dr. Titensor may even suggest doing a lip restructuring procedure in order to get your smile in the correct alignment.
