If you are bothered by the quality of your smile, you may already be looking into cosmetic dental work. There are procedures available that can effect a terrific change to how you look. Your dentist can correct for the size and shape of teeth, and make your smile look brighter and whiter. However, before you can move forward with a treatment, you will need to have your oral health examined. If you want to do something like have your teeth fitted with porcelain veneers, your dentist needs to verify there will be no outstanding issues that cause complications. During a review, your dentist will look for any suggestion that something could interfere with your desired procedure.
1. Unaddressed Dental Problems
Before moving to address cosmetic issues, your dentist will want to check and see if you have any issues that call for restorative dental work. If so, your treatment will need to wait until the appropriate steps are taken to improve on the health of your teeth.
2. Dental Crowns Already Placed On Teeth
One reason restorative work can complicate cosmetic work is that a restoration can limit what can be done for you. Dental crowns cannot have veneers placed over them, and professional whitening agents will not improve on their color. It should be noted that your dentist can provide a crown made with life-like material, which can improve on how you look when placed on a flawed tooth.
3. Weak Enamel
Porcelain veneers are permanently bonded to teeth. This will only work if your enamel can hold them. If you have issues with your enamel, your dentist may have to suggest a different tactic for making smile improvements.
