  Aging, smoking, coffee consumption, and bad genetics. There can be many reasons for worn out, discolored, and damaged teeth, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with an unsightly smile. Undergoing a smile makeover helps improve your oral health and self-esteem. Stop being anxious about your smile and start enjoying it.  

  Don’t miss these 7 reasons for getting a smile makeover and enjoying your new beautiful and healthy teeth. 

  1. Old amalgam fillings
  Amalgam fillings can eventually lead to teeth discoloration. The mercury component is harmful to your teeth and gum line, let alone toxic to the rest of your body. Consider getting tooth-colored fillings that are safer and more natural-looking.

  2. Deteriorating teeth
  Process of teeth deterioration may occur due to aging alone, but amalgam fillings can also contribute to it. Silver fillings are quicker to compress and extend than your tooth. They can damage your teeth and cause cracks and, most likely, infection. A porcelain crown can be fitted on strained teeth to strengthen them and protect neighboring teeth simultaneously.

  3. Vulnerable nerves at the gum line
  Receding gums is a common problem, and it can occur due to aging, or it may develop in people who subconsciously gnash and clench their teeth. During a recession, your gums deteriorate and leave your tooth nerves vulnerable, putting you at higher risk of developing gingivitis.

  4. Chipped and fractured teeth
  Injury, aging, nasty habits – anything can be the culprit of a chipped or fractured tooth. While it's essential to determine the culprit of the condition, treating chipped and fractured teeth in time is important to prevent even more serious dental health problems.

  5. Infected teeth
  Toothache indicates something is wrong in your mouth, and the problem is not going to get better without treatment. Maybe you had a minor fracture on a tooth and you neglected your dental checkup and bacteria have been accumulating there for months. This seemingly minor issue can lead to infection or even tooth loss. Perhaps gum disease has reached the inner layers of your tooth, so it's better to consult a dentist to receive a proper diagnosis.

  6. Discolored teeth
  An in-office teeth whitening procedure can eliminate the stains that have accumulated on your tooth enamel, making your teeth whiter in a short period of time. But, for some people’s teeth whitening can fail to provide the desired results. Some people's teeth are yellowish due to genetics, or their enamel has worn out so much that the dentin underneath starts to be visible. In such cases, dental veneers or Lumineers are perfect solutions.

  7. Obvious crowns
  Modern crowns are made to perfectly suit your teeth shape, size, and shade. Not a single person should know that you had undergone this cosmetic dentistry procedure. If your old crowns are easy to notice even if you have perfect dental habits, it’s time to consider replacing them.

  8. Bad taste in your mouth
  Experiencing a bad taste in your mouth isn’t related to the cosmetic aspects of your teeth, but it’s a problem you should treat ASAP. Bad taste in your mouth can occur due to gingivitis or a severely infected tooth. These problems can be caused by improper oral hygiene. When bacteria start to accumulate in your mouth, it can generate chemicals leading to bad breath and causing food to have a different flavor. If you experience a plaque buildup or gingivitis, laser therapy is a perfect way to eliminate the unpleasant taste and bad breath.

  The bottom line
  If you have stained, infected, or cracked teeth, or if you experience gum recession don’t be shy to contact a dental specialist. With modern technologies and quality materials, cosmetic dentistry can offer safe and painless treatment to whiten your smile, replace dangerous tooth fillings, and protect your teeth from deterioration. A dental specialist is professionally trained to treat all dental problems and prevent them from getting worse.
