Misunderstanding one: only “porcelain teeth” “I want to make my teeth more beautiful, neat, you give me porcelain teeth!”
Many prosthodontists will hear similar words from time to time in the outpatient clinic, so it can be seen that porcelain teeth in the eyes of many people is a universal method of dental beauty.
In fact, porcelain teeth are only one of the cosmetic treatments, and in some cases may not be the best choice.
For example, orthodontics is often the preferred treatment for patients with misaligned teeth, which are aligned by moving the teeth;
If the color and shape of the teeth are defective, the method of all-porcelain veneer and all-porcelain crown can be used to obtain the aesthetic effect.
Misunderstanding TWO: PULL A TOOTH AGAIN INLAY A THEORY “I THIS TOOTH IS TOO CROOKED, TOO UGLY, YOU HELPED ME PULL AGAIN INLAY A BAR.”
Although the technology and materials of dental prostheses are constantly updated, there is no way to ensure that the treated tooth can exceed the function of normal natural teeth.
So, as long as the crooked tooth can be corrected, as long as the root can be used, the doctor will try to keep the natural teeth.
Only when the affected tooth has no therapeutic value, such as too loose teeth, wisdom teeth, etc., will you consider pulling out the natural tooth.
Misunderstanding three: yearning for “star teeth” often there will be patients with a photo of the star to see a doctor: “make my teeth like such and such a star”.
Dental from the aesthetic point of view, due to the gender, age, face, skin color, personality, and many other factors are different, everyone is suitable for tooth shape is also different, the doctor to the design of beauty, need according to the actual circumstances of the patients with comprehensive consideration, only suitable for their own teeth beauty, to achieve the best effect.
“My teeth don’t look white enough. Make them white for me.”
As we all know, the outer layer of teeth is enamel, which has translucent characteristics. The dentine color of the inner layer of enamel is not white, but yellow, and its color will partially pass through the enamel, so that the tooth has a certain light yellow color.
Therefore, the whiter the tooth is not the better. It looks natural, and the best color is the one that matches your skin tone and personality.
Not all teeth in the normal color range need to be whitened.
Because the color of teeth is too dark and affect the beauty of the viewer, it needs to be improved by certain treatment methods.
Once and for all: “Doctor, if I finish my teeth, will I be safe for life?”
There is no shortage of patients with this idea, but once and for all things are often out of reach.
First, after dental beauty should also pay attention to careful maintenance, such as pay attention to maintain oral hygiene, avoid using porcelain teeth to bite hard food, but also regular review;
Second, dental cosmetic materials have a certain service life, and everyone’s dental situation is constantly changing.
Just as a good car will be worn out after a certain age, teeth should be checked and maintained regularly.
