You\u2019re ready to go and want to enjoy your dream look as soon as possible, but your dentist saw something during your oral evaluation that gave them pause. What do you do? Can\u2019t you restore your oral health after receiving your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fresnofamilydental.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">dental cosmetics<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are at least three good reasons why you shouldn\u2019t wait! Keep reading, and your dentist\u2019s recommendation will start to make more sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many, if not all, oral conditions weaken your dental supports in some way. Gum disease, for example, attacks the gumline and can cause it to recede, which means less pink tissue is available to help hold your pearly whites in place. Cavities, meanwhile, eat a hole through your enamel, making your teeth vulnerable to damage and further erosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In both cases, a dental cosmetic like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fresnofamilydental.com\/veneers.html\">veneers<\/a> or Lumineers would likely fall off or fail due to lack of structural support!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Longevity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, dental cosmetics are able to last a lot longer in a healthy oral biome. With no cavities or gum disease around to cause failure, they\u2019ll be free to live out their lifespan as effective smile enhancements. And you\u2019ll be free to spend some extra cash on something fun, rather than on dental cosmetic replacements!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start thinking \u201cmaybe the problem will go away on its own anyway,\u201d you should know that oral conditions don\u2019t get better \u2013 only worse. Prolonging a much-needed emergency or restoration appointment is only going to make things more complicated (and costly) in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Comfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, certain dental cosmetic treatments are rather painful when existing oral conditions are present. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fresnofamilydental.com\/teeth-whitening.html\">Teeth whitening<\/a>, for example, uses powerful (but safe) bleaching agents to lift stains from your teeth. Under normal circumstances, you wouldn\u2019t experience much discomfort \u2013 but with an active case of cavities or gum disease, your teeth will be much more sensitive to the bleaching agents. It\u2019s best to wait until you\u2019re rid of these conditions so you can have a comfortable treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s nice to have a smile you\u2019re proud to show off. Your excitement is understandable! However, if you get too carried away and neglect to take care of your oral health first, your beautiful new dental cosmetics are likely to fail or cause discomfort. Let your dentist treat any existing oral conditions, <em>then <\/em>look forward to achieving your dream smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fresnofamilydental.com\/meet-your-dentist.html\">Dr. Byron Reintjes<\/a> has nearly 30 years of experience in the field of dentistry and has advanced training in orthodontics and Invisalign.
