]]> Having imperfections in your smile can be fairly embarrassing. Luckily, there are a number of solutions you can consider to beautify your smile. For example, teeth whitening is an option you should consider, but there are several options you could try for missing teeth. Still, do you know what you might do if you have gapped teeth?

You could have gaps between your teeth for many different reasons. For instance, you could have a gap due to genetics or even tooth loss. If your gap is caused by a missing tooth, there are many restoration options that you could consider. For example, you could get a bridge, an implant, or dentures.

If your teeth have a minute gap in your teeth, there are other types of treatments you can consider doing. For example, a dental veneer could be the best treatment for you. Veneers are thin shells that are designed to match the color of your teeth and to help you cover a number of imperfections. These imperfections include gapped teeth. Once your veneers are ready, they’ll be fused to your teeth and look perfectly natural.

Furthermore, you should also consider the perks of dental bonding. This option is the most affordable and can last for up to ten years. If you decide that dental bonding is the treatment for you, our team will use a composite resin to correct the small imperfections that are in your smile.

If you would like to hear more about the care you can receive from our team, or about treatments for gapped teeth in Grand Rapids, Michigan, we invite you to give MI Roots Family Dental a call at 616-453-0002. Our dentist, Dr. Joseph Szymczak, and the rest of our team will be happy to examine your teeth and answer any questions you may have. We look forward to receiving your call soon.

]]> One of your teeth has developed a cavity. Even if your tooth doesn’t hurt, it is important to treat this cavity as soon as possible to prevent other problems from developing, such as an abscess. However, before your cavity is treated, speak with your dentist about the different types of fillings available. Your dentist will determine the best one for your teeth, but here are three of the main options.

Amalgam

This kind of filling is the most common type used. Silver in color, it consists of metals such as tin, silver, copper, and mercury. Amalgam is the least expensive filling and very durable. Additionally, it is easier to place and hardens quickly.

Gold

Made of gold, copper, and other materials, this is the most durable filling available. Also known as an inlay or onlay, a gold filling can last for 20 years if not longer. However, it is the most expensive filling and may take longer to make.

Composite Resin

This filling is the best for cosmetic purposes. Made of glass, quartz, and other materials, it blends in with natural tooth colors. Though this type is becoming more popular, it is less durable than amalgam filling and more expensive. This type is also only used to fill small to medium sized cavities.
