For example, you may own many screwdrivers of different sizes and shapes (form) to loosen all different kinds of screws (function). Think of a watering can with a long spout that\u2019s perfect for pouring water right where you want it, versus one with a broad spout meant to cover large areas more quickly.<\/p>\n<p>When you think about it, this principle also applies to your smile. A mouth with missing teeth isn&#8217;t nearly as functional as a mouth with a full set of chompers. Enter: cosmetic dentistry. While the word &#8220;cosmetic&#8221; makes these treatments sound optional, many times they are necessary to improve physical function or mental and emotional well-being.

A crown completely covers the tooth to improve overall look and function.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enamel Shaping<\/strong>\u2014slightly changing the shape or amount of enamel (the hard surface) on your natural tooth can give you healthier and better-functioning teeth.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/services\/restorative-dentistry\/#Bridges\"><strong>Bridges<\/strong><\/a>\u2014a set of semi-permanent false teeth. If you\u2019ve been missing a row of teeth, a bridge gives you the ability to eat and smile again with confidence.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/services\/dental-implants\/\"><strong>Dental Implants<\/strong><\/a>\u2014permanent false teeth that fill in gaps where teeth are missing that stabilize your jaw and surrounding teeth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gum Contouring<\/strong>\u2014a little reshaping of the tissue around your teeth can greatly improve the look of your smile and help your gums accommodate future dental procedures that you may need.<\/p>\n<h3>Who Needs Cosmetic Dentistry?<\/h3>\n<p>If your teeth are hindering your overall quality of life and well-being, it\u2019s absolutely time to make a change.
