COMMON DENTAL ISSUES
Step in front of the mirror. Imagine you're taking a family photo, interviewing for a new job or meeting potential clients for your business. Smile. What do you see? Do you feel awkward about showing your teeth? Do you try to keep your lips together so new people won't notice the poor shape of your smile? If that sounds like you, it's time to visit Dr. Bernie for a cosmetic dentist consultation. It's time to redesign your smile.
Here are some common cosmetic dental problems that Dr. Bernie can handle at his Los Angeles dentist office.
Crowded Teeth
A pleasing smile is made up of evenly-spaced teeth that aren't pushing against each other or overlapping. Porcelain veneers can reshape your teeth spacing in very few visits.
Old and Unsightly Dental Work
Silver dental fillings, metal crowns and old-fashioned bridges don't last forever. They can break down over time causing discoloration and metal lines to appear. Dr. Bernie can replace outdated dentistry at his Los Angeles dentist office with the latest in porcelain crowns, porcelain bridges and porcelain inlays and onlays. Silver belongs in jewelry, not inside your teeth.
Wide Front Teeth
Wide front teeth make for an unflattering smile. Put things pack in perspective by letting Dr. Bernie reform your front teeth to put them in proportion with the rest of your smile. It's as much an art as a science.
Poor Alignment
A variety of problems can arise when your teeth aren't properly aligned due to missing teeth or irregular spacing. Chewing can be uncomfortable and your teeth can suffer damage. As his dentist office in Los Angeles, Dr. Bernie can replace missing teeth, strengthen existing teeth and bring your smile back into alignment. It's not just for looks – it's for your health.
Metal Allergy
Besides being unsightly, metal crowns can aggravate allergies in people that are susceptible. Nickel crowns are a particularly common culprit. Signs of a metal allergy in your mouth include bleeding and gum inflammation. Contact us at our Los Angeles cosmetic dentist office to evaluate your crowns and see if all-porcelain crown replacements are right for you.
Old Dentures
If you're comfortable with using dentures, but your old dentures just aren't cutting it anymore, give Dr. Bernie a call. Broken, worn out or ill-fitting dentures can be hard on your jaw muscles and make you feel less confident about your appearance. With a visit to our dentist office in Chatsworth, Los Angeles we can evaluate your denture needs and get you on the path to a new, better-fitting and more attractive set of dentures.
