Dental implants or dental veneers?

The two procedures are different. Dental implants in Melbourne Australia are used to replace a missing tooth, either by decay or through genetics or an accident, and they can be used to replace a badly chipped tooth. Dental veneers are a form of tooth perfection - porcelain veneers are fitted over a ‘shaved down’ tooth, so that all teeth are uniform in size, shape and colour. Both are big procedures and are only offered for those who really need it. There are plenty of other tooth whitening and tooth straightening procedures that are far less invasive and far less painful and expensive. Dental implants are a procedure that is necessary, and when done well, lasts a lifetime.

Your dentist will guide you

A good dentist in Melbourne Australia will guide you as to what you need, whether it be dental implants, a bit of cosmetic surgery, standard tooth whitening, or just, a decent cleaning. If you can, visit your dentist once every six months. Get into the habit of looking after your teeth. While not all dental problems are caused by neglect, and as mentioned above, genetics or accidents are a huge part of dental issues, you can certainly aid your teeth along with regular brushing, flossing and oral care. Find a dentist that you feel comfortable with, one that you like and that you trust. And if you have kids, take them to the dentist regularly so they do not develop the fear that so many adults have.

Do you need to fear the dentist? Absolutely not. Technology has actually turned dental care into something quite easy and quick. A good dentist is extremely professional and uses the latest methods to give you a perfect smile. Ask for recommendations from friends or family. Make an appointment, now!
