Porcelain veneers can effectively enhance the occlusion (bite) of teeth, improving their function and appearance.
Dental implant surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, and patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. Some post-operative discomfort, such as swelling and mild pain, is common and can be managed with prescribed medications.
Inlays and onlays are fillings made outside of the mouth, usually from porcelain, and then bonded to the damaged tooth.
Practice good oral hygiene, consider dental procedures like scaling and root planing, surgical grafts, or using specifically designed toothbrushes or toothpaste.
Begin oral care early, avoid sugary drinks, use fluoride toothpaste, ensure regular dental visits, and provide a balanced diet.
Drink plenty of water, chew sugar-free gum, avoid caffeine and alcohol, use a humidifier, and consider over-the-counter mouth rinses.
