This is because of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franklindentalcenter.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">gap<\/a> between your teeth. You\u2019ve never been fond of it, but now you\u2019re an adult and wonder if you\u2019ve run out of time to correct your smile. Your local dentist says it\u2019s never too late; you can get the smile of your dreams with cosmetic dentistry in Tyler. Read on to learn about two simple and quick ways available to close your gap once and for all.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What Types of Cosmetic Applications Can Close a Gap?<\/h2>\n<p>Thankfully, with the advancements in cosmetic dentistry, there are several ways to bring your teeth together in a more harmonious situation.<\/p>\n<p>Here are two methods available:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Porcelain Veneers <\/strong>\u2013 Custom-made from thin porcelain shells, veneers can mask a slight gap by covering the area, creating a smile that looks natural. Initially, your dentist in Tyler will remove a thin layer of enamel and take an impression so that your permanent veneers can be fabricated. At a second visit, your shells will be affixed to your teeth and you\u2019ll leave with a brand-new, perfect smile.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dental Bonding <\/strong>\u2013 An alternative to the porcelain veneers route is dental bonding. Using a tooth-colored composite resin, your dentist can close your gap by adding the compound to the affected teeth and then sculpting it to fit the natural contour of your other ivories. Once the shaping is done, a special curing light will be used to harden the material. One of the advantages of this method is that it can be done in one office visit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Is it Important to Feel Good About Your Smile?<\/h2>\n<p>The way you feel about how you look directly impacts your overall confidence and self-esteem. Interestingly, scientists have found that it also plays a role in your total wellness, as a better self-image drives the type of hormonal output that translates into a healthier body. So as the old saying goes, \u201cWhen you look good, you feel good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You shouldn\u2019t feel ashamed about desiring to improve the way you look, and with the breakthroughs in dentistry, you can be confident that there\u2019s a sure way to fix any flaw. So are you ready to close that gap and wow the world with a brand-new smile? If so, then reach out to your dentist to schedule a consultation today!<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Donna Franklin-Pitts earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Howard University and remains as passionate today as she was when she first graduated from dental school.
