Our teeth are protected by outer layers of enamel that are strong enough to stay in good condition for many years. Unfortunately, in addition to being vulnerable to cavities, the material can be physically harmed. When this happens, you can find yourself embarrassed by enamel chips, cracks, or even discoloration! Our Santa Monica, CA dentist’s office is prepared to help when physical trauma causes distress over your appearance. We actually provide different options for cosmetic treatment, as we can use both Lumineers and traditional porcelain veneers to help you. When needed, we can also provide dental crowns, which cover teeth to provide bite support and the preservation of your health along with cosmetic benefits. (more…)
