Smile Makeovers

If you have fillings that were put in several years ago, it may be time for them to be replaced with modern materials that match the color of teeth more closely. Older dental fillings included materials like amalgam, which is made of metal. Amalgam fillings get darker with time, causing spots in teeth that can be noticed. With composite resin fillings, your teeth will look more natural.

Teeth whitening is another way to make sure that your teeth look at the desired color. With teeth whitening from dental professionals, your teeth will be brighter and shinier than you ever could have imagined in less than an hour. The advanced whitening methods used by your dentist allow bleaching solutions to penetrate deeply into the enamel and remove stains. Some bleaching solutions can remove extrinsic stains, which are stains caused by foods and drinks on the surface of the enamel, as well as intrinsic stains. Intrinsic stains are the result of discoloration within the dentin of teeth, which is below the enamel.

Your teeth can also benefit from orthodontic care from Legacy Dental Care in Huntington Beach. Teeth that are overlapping, crooked, or have uneven spaces between them can be effectively aligned with orthodontic treatments. You can also have veneers applied to teeth so that their appearance is more uniform.

You can also correct other issues with your teeth. Missing teeth can be replaced with false teeth that look just like your natural teeth to restore your smile and the functioning of your mouth. Teeth that are cracked or chipped can be bonded with a composite material that improves their appearance and balances the look of the mouth.
