BELLEVUE COSMETIC DENTIST SINGLE FRONT TOOTH REPLACEMENT

THE COSMETIC DENTIST CHALLENGE OF THE SINGLE FRONT TOOTH

The idea of a Bellevue Cosmetic Dentist fixing a single front tooth so that it gives a person a beautiful smile would seem to be a very simple process as opposed to restoring multiple front teeth to accomplish that incredible smile. It seems that one tooth would be much less challenging and time consuming than doing multiple teeth. However, the opposite is really the case. Restoring a single front tooth is a very large challenge from a cosmetic dentistry perspective. The reason for this is that the single restored tooth, either a porcelain veneer or crown, must match or have a highly compatible relationship to the teeth adjacent to it in all aspects. These aspects would include tooth size, shape and color as well as spatial perspective and relationship to each other. Patient portrait photo is shown after bleaching and completion of a single upper anterior veneer.

A cosmetic dentist easily can control all of these aspects and relationships of the restored teeth when six or more teeth are involved in the cosmetic smile changes. These would all be done at the same time by the laboratory making the crowns or veneers for the dentist. Therefore, the size, shape and color of all the teeth can be controlled in the laboratory. The overall spatial relationships can be controlled when the final restorations are placed in the patient’s mouth in a much easier fashion because the size, shape and color have all been accounted for by the laboratory.

However, with a single anterior porcelain crown or veneer, all of these things have to be accounted for at the time of final placement by the Bellevue Dentist. Often the surrounding natural teeth will be bleached and then the single anterior tooth is matched to that color. However, with the single tooth there is very little margin for error, since the natural teeth will be very prominent in their position next to the newly restored tooth. If the laboratory does not get a near perfect color match the family dentist may have to send the tooth back to the laboratory. This can lead to lost chair time for the dentist and possibly an upset patient. For this reason, many cosmetic dentists prefer to restore at least four teeth in the front and more preferably six teeth to get a really good match from the laboratory. Photo at left shows closeup of the patient with a single upper anterior tooth that needs cosmetic restoration, while the photo below shows a closeup of the same patient after tooth bleaching to whiten teeth and a single upper anterior porcelain veneer.

At Brookside Dental Bellevue, we have an on-site porcelain artist who does our porcelain veneers, crowns and bridges. This is a great advantage in getting that perfect match with single tooth restorations on front teeth. Of course, it also is fantastic to have him for the larger 4, 6, 8 and 10 unit anterior cosmetic cases. With our on-site porcelain artist who can beautifully match single crowns and veneers, we are able to be conservative in our cosmetic dentistry approach and save the patient some money and still deliver a fantastic new smile.

Bellevue Porcelain Veneers are also called dental veneers, porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates. They are one of cosmetic dentistry's more recent and successful developments, which are wafer-thin shells of porcelain that are bonded onto the front side of teeth and that also cover the biting edge of the teeth. They can be an excellent cosmetic dental solution for a variety of problems including teeth that are stained, chipped, or slightly misaligned.

Porcelain Veneers are used for beautiful smile makeovers by Bellevue Cosmetic Dentists every day. Their uses include closing gaps between teeth, fixing chipped teeth, improving a gummy smile, lengthening short teeth, and generally improving your overall smile. With Bellevue Dentist Porcelain Veneers you can choose the shade, shape, and degree of whiteness that you want for your teeth. At Brookside Dental, Bellevue, WA, we have an on-site porcelain artist that will make a new smile just as you would imagine it.

Porcelain Veneers are one of the most recent applications of combining art and science in the area of cosmetic dentistry. For decades dentists have had materials which can bond to tooth enamel and give beautiful new smiles. Cosmetic dentists use the bonding capabilities of certain dental materials to securely attach a thin sheet of porcelain, which is the porcelain veneer, to an individual tooth. These thin veneers of porcelain are attached so that they cover the front of the tooth as well as the biting surface of the tooth that has the veneer. Although porcelain is inherently brittle, it becomes very strong and durable when it is firmly bonded to a sturdy substructure like a tooth.

An advantage of using porcelain veneers to create a new beautiful smile instead of another type of cosmetic dental bonding material is that the veneers become the permanent tooth covering which creates a very life-like tooth appearance. Additionally, these porcelain veneer coverings that have created your new smile are not susceptible to tooth decay. A significant advantage of porcelain veneers over other types of cosmetic dental bonding is related to the fact that a porcelain veneer's surface is just that, porcelain. Since porcelain is ceramic, or glass-like, its surface is extremely smooth and impervious so it will not pick up permanent stains and the color will not change because they are resistant to stains such as tea, coffee, red wine, grape juice, and cigarette smoking.

BELLEVUE COSMETIC DENTISTRY FOR MEN

COSMETIC DENTISTRY WORKS FOR MEN THE SAME AS WOMEN

Men in general are able to acquire significantly attractive smiles with various Cosmetic Dentistry procedures. The men will have increased physical attractiveness resulting from Cosmetic Dental work, and most likely will become even more outgoing after altering or changing their smiles. Most likely their personal lives and work opportunities will improve. Often only a minor alteration, such as tooth whitening, needs to be done to improve a man's smile, while an extreme makeover can improve even an extremely poor appearing smile. This article shows several men and describes how their smiles were improved using Bellevue Cosmetic Dentistry.

This article departs from most articles with photos related to Cosmetic Dentistry, because it does not show any photographs of beautiful women. Cosmetic surgery, beauty, and nutrition advertisements are generally aimed at women. Thus Cosmetic Dentists resort to the same thing in their advertising and websites by displaying women with beautiful smiles. These stunning smiles are one of the first things seen by a person. Again, it is the beautiful and stunning smiles that are one of the initial attractions for men and one of the major influences on how attractive a face is perceived. Trade magazines in the dental field, also exhibit beautiful smiles on women for the most part.

These men are all patients of Dr Cindy Pauley and Dr Patricia Pauley, Brookside Dental, Bellevue, WA, that have had Cosmetic Dentistry completed within the last two years. They vary in age, but they all have very attractive smiles.

Recently, more and more men of all ages are having cosmetic surgery performed such as hair transplants, face lifts and tummy tucks. Like women, men also want to look handsome and more youthful. Not suprising, many men are having Cosmetic Dentistry performed in an effort to look better. Women and men both want to be more successful at work and in their personal life. It has been discussed that some surveys have indicated that attractive people have more success in life and business than other people.

BELLEVUE DENTIST HAPPY WITH ABOUT.COM

BELLEVUE COSMETIC DENTIST HAS BLOG INFORMATION ON ABOUT.COM BRAGGING BOARD



Bellevue Cosmetic Dentists have been a big fan and follower of Susan Gunelius' Web blogs on About.com, so when she offered to let people post about their Blogger.com blogs on an About.com Blogger Design Bragging Board, we jumped at the opportunity. What a fantastic way to get exposure for our new Bellevue Cosmetic Dentistry Blog that we started this last year on such a high class blog. In our post at the About.com Bragging Board, we were able to discuss why we choose to construct our relatively new Cosmetic Dentistry Blog the way we had done it.

ACTUAL PATIENT OF BELLEVUE COSMETIC DENTISTS

One of the major reasons that we, as Bellevue Cosmetic Dentists, choose the Blogger Design that we did was to be able to use a dark black background, which really helps to highlight and exhibit the features of the Cosmetic Dentistry that is done in our Brookside Dental Office in Bellevue, WA. This black background is especially good when we are showing close up before and after photos of Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures, such as porcelain veneers. A wide variety of other before and after Bellevue Cosmetic Dental Procedures photographs also can be demonstrated extremely well against this black background. Among these cosmetic dental items that change ordinary smiles into beautiful smiles are cosmetic tooth adjustments, laser gum surgery, tooth-colored composite fillings, tooth whitening, dental crowns, and beautiful extreme smile makeovers. With these procedures we are able to construct and create beautiful new smiles. These new smile creations can be obtained when teeth are stained, chipped, cracked, broken, or even missing. In some cases a single technique will change the smile, such as a series of new porcelain veneers. However, in other cases several techniques must be combined to obtain the desired beautiful new smile creation, such as tooth whitening, dental implants with crowns, and gum surgery. Although we concentrate our overall efforts on these cosmetic dentistry procedures, we believe in taking care of the total oral health of our patients. Therefore, we are dedicated to good oral hygiene and family dentistry. However, there are several procedures that we refer out to dental specialists. For example, we refer out all extractions and endodontic (root canal) work. That way our patients know that as Bellevue Dentists we are devoted to delivering the highest quality Cosmetic Dentistry available.
