A smile is a simple but effective way to make a great impression on other people. A bright, charming smile is maintained by good oral care. However, some people might require a little more help in getting that bright natural smile they are looking for. 

The team at Ocean Ceramics would like for you to know the various ways dental technicians can help you achieve that natural bright smile you have been looking for. 

Bonding 

If you are looking to improve your smile or the general appearance of your teeth, bonding is a great technique to consider. Bonding occurs when a dental technician attaches (bonds) materials such as porcelain and resins to your teeth. This fuses the bonding materials to your teeth’s natural enamel and dentin. This process restores the natural appearance of your teeth and creates a solid structure that enhances your smile. 

Veneers

veneers can be used to create that natural bright smile you are looking for since they are constructed based on a prototype of your mouth and intended to recreate the look of your teeth. Constructed from tooth-colored materials, veneers are thin casings that cover the front of your teeth. A dental technician has to remove some of your tooth’s enamel to ensure the veneers fit perfectly. The result is a natural and bright smile you can be proud of. 

Crowns 

If you have misshapen or discolored teeth, a crown can easily solve that. A dental technician can use a crown to cover the teeth in question, increasing the strength and appearance of your teeth. Crowns serve even more functions than just improving your smile. They can also be used to protect weak teeth from further damage or repair an already broken tooth. 

Implants 

Dental implants provide a long-term alternative to creating a natural bright smile. A dental technician surgically attaches the implant in your jaw to create a strong and reliable point where replacement teeth are placed. Dental implants are made of durable materials like titanium so they last as long as they need to. Implants are constructed to hold crowns and bridges and aid in making the restorations look as natural as your other teeth.  

Bridges 

If your smile is marred because you are missing one or more teeth, a dental technician can help you by installing a bridge. A bridge is a false tooth that is held in place by teeth on either side of it. When made of porcelain, the teeth blend in with your natural teeth. There are many types of bridges, some supported by crowns and implants and they all work together to create that natural bright smile you are looking for. 

Braces

An excellent option for both children and adults, braces can help realign any crooked teeth to create an orderly row of teeth with a bright smile. The typical braces we all know of require a dental technician to attach a set of metal brackets to your teeth to ensure that they hold in place. Fortunately, orthodontic treatments have improved significantly and the metal brackets are just one of many available options. There are clear plastic braces and removable “invisible’ braces that can straighten teeth just as well.
