Fortunately, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentistrycoralsprings.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">cosmetic dentistry<\/a> includes a wide range of treatments that can address flaws like chips, gaps, cracks, stains, and misshapen teeth. Here\u2019s a brief guide to what qualifies a patient for cosmetic dentistry as well as how you may be able to become an excellent candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tooth Decay Must Be Resolved<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tooth decay is a destructive infection of the dental tissue that will not go away without professional treatment. Applying cosmetic restorations such as veneers to decayed teeth can shelter these infections from your dentist\u2019s attention as well as your mouth\u2019s natural cleaning process. This can allow an infection to fester until it causes severe damage such as an agonizing toothache, tooth loss, or possibly dangerous secondary infections like sepsis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applying teeth whitening treatments to decayed teeth can expose interior dental tissue to powerful whitening agents, which can result in damage and severe discomfort. It\u2019s important to have any tooth decay cleared up before receiving cosmetic dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gum Disease Will Have to Be Treated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss on Earth, so it only makes sense to resolve this issue before beginning any cosmetic dental treatment program. Inflamed or bleeding gum tissue can be especially vulnerable to damage due to exposure to powerful whitening agents, and the process of cosmetic bonding or placing veneers can be stressful on the compromised roots of the teeth. Gum disease can usually be fixed by improved oral hygiene in its early stages, but it may require regular periodontal therapy if it is severe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to know if you can be an excellent candidate for cosmetic dentistry is to schedule a consultation with your dentist. Then, they will carefully evaluate your oral health and medical history to determine which treatments you can qualify for and which restorative treatments you will need to be ready for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Iglesias Dental Group offers outstanding oral healthcare to the people of Coral Springs.
