Roseville Cosmetic Dentistry
Smiles matter, probably more than we realize. Volumes of research confirm the influential role of smiles in our relationships and our self-esteem. If you're confident, you smile more. If you smile more, you feel more confident. But what if you don't want to flash those pearly whites because you're embarrassed? The effects of a bad smile may ripple through your life. Fortunately, a growing range of options enables anyone to enjoy a stunning new smile. Dr. Nina Aujla's passion for enhancing smiles brings you the best in modern dentistry.
Cosmetic dental treatments can:
Brighten stained or discolored teeth
Repair cracks or fractures
Fill gaps between teeth
Correct overcrowding
Reshape teeth
Replace missing teeth
Replace old metallic restorations, such as fillings and crowns
Porcelain Veneers
Custom-crafted to each tooth, veneers provide an artist's touch to your smile. Regardless of your vision for your smile, chances are veneers offer an answer. When today's modern materials meet our passion for cosmetic excellence, you'll be amazed at what you see smiling back at you in the mirror.
Composite Fillings
Cavities, chips, and fractures can occur on any tooth surface throughout the mouth. The composite filling material is tooth-colored and provides a versatile solution to many common problems. Blended into a prepared area, the composite polishes to a smooth, undetectable finish.
Teeth Whitening
Nothing boosts your confidence like a terrific smile. Over time, yellow stains can dull the color of your teeth. Professional whitening systems provide the ultimate in whitening results, quickly removing years of discoloration leaving gleaming results.
Porcelain Crowns
Damaged teeth might seem hopeless, but there's often a solid foundation underneath. A crown, or cap, can bring a compromised tooth back to full function. Utilizing modern porcelain materials, you'll have a difficult time trying to find where the crown ends and the tooth starts.
Onlays
Teeth rarely fracture predictably. Sometimes a break is too big for a filling, but not big enough for a crown. Porcelain onlays provide an excellent solution for teeth that need extra reinforcement without being covered entirely. Bonded into place, they provide years of natural feel, function, and esthetics.
Botox
Your smile forms a central part of your appearance and confidence. But nice facial tone can elevate your smile to a higher level. Simple Botox application quickly eliminates wrinkles and brings out the warmth and fullness of your smile.
Have a dental emergency? Roseville cosmetic dentistry is just a phone call away.
While most people know what to do when they have a health emergency, it's not clear what to do when you have a dental emergency. There's no real E.R. for dental emergencies, and if you head over to the local emergency room with a dental emergency you'll likely be sent away unless you have an urgent care need. That includes, but is not limited to, extraordinary pain or bleeding, in which case they'll merely stop the bleeding, give you some pain meds and send you on your way.
But dental emergencies can be serious, requiring immediate attention by a qualified professional, not just the physician that's on call at the local hospital or urgent care clinic. Here in Roseville, our cosmetic dentistry practice is here for you in the case of any dental emergency -- from searing pain to cracked teeth and beyond -- because we know how scary an issue with your teeth can be. We are also here if you are looking for Roseville teeth whitening.
But what constitutes a dental emergency, and when does a little discomfort turn into a serious dental issue? The answer is not quite black and white, but we've prepared a list of scenarios that can give you an idea when you're in the middle of a dental emergency -- and also when you're not.
In general, a dental emergency is any dental issue that needs to be addressed immediately. Excessive tooth pain, a broken tooth, infected gums or extreme sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures are all examples of dental emergencies. Basically, any time there's severe pain or sudden and excessive discomfort, you likely have a dental emergency that needs attention, so please call your friendly neighborhood Roseville cosmetic dentistry practice.
While it may be scary if you've had a tooth knocked-out, now's not the time to panic -- though you should make plans to see an endodontist at your earliest convenience. If you can locate your tooth on the ground, grab it and rinse it clean with water. Don't touch the root if you can avoid it, and try to reinsert the tooth in the open socket, holding it in with your jaw or finger if it won't stay. If you can't get it back in your mouth, place it in a glass of milk, which will keep the tooth moist until a dentist can take a look. Don't use tap water as chemicals can damage your tooth over an extended period of time.
If you have an abscess or bacterial infection, which can include redness, pain, sensitivity, swelling and pus, particularly at or above the gum line, you may have a dental emergency. Bacterial infections in the mouth can also lead to larger health issues, so make sure to schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
However, not all dental issues are emergencies requiring the immediate attention of a cosmetic dentist. If you've chipped a tooth, discovered a noticeable cavity or are suffering from a dull toothache, you can wait for a dental appointment. Other minor issues such as acute tooth sensitivity or any infrequent pains should also be addressed by a qualified dentist, but they're not emergencies.
Basically, dental emergencies are such because of the severity of pain that accompanies swelling, bleeding or other injuries to the teeth or jaw. In certain situations, a severe toothache also applies, as does any injury where a permanent tooth is knocked loose or completely out of its socket. Non-dental emergencies include cracked dental work such as a crown or bridge, a broken retainer or night guard, a lost crown or filling, mild toothaches and other superficial issues, and it's fine to wait until your dentist can see you.
