There are old wives tales that say those with a gap in the middle of their front teeth-a la Madonna, Michael Strahan and such-are born lucky. There is no conclusive proof that this old adage is true, but there are a fair amount of rich, famous or well-known people with gaps in their teeth and they don’t seem bothered about it at all, in fact many say it defines them. However, there may be a few folk out there, who have a similar gap that does bother them and they would like nothing better than to close it.
The process of closing such gaps is better known in the dentistry world as ‘bonding’. Bonding is method whereby the cosmetic dentist in Findlay, OH makes cosmetic additions and changes to the surrounding teeth to essentially fill in the gap between them. This procedure is generally undertaken when braces are not an option or the gap is so small as to not warrant such definite treatment. The virtually painless procedure matches the color of the bonding material with the color of the teeth to create a neat and unnoticeable bond.
Bonding Methods and Relaxation
That is one kind of bond that your dentist can offer you, but it is more important that you find a dentist you can trust and who will take your situation into account. Many people are terrified of the dentist simply because most of their memories related to visiting them are shrouded in pain from fillings or extractions. It is useful that many dentists now offer sedation as part of their treatment process. The sedation method-often called sleep dentistry-is a way of relaxing patients and putting them into a gentle sleep while they remain lucid.
Many dental procedures can be done quickly and painlessly in a short in-office surgery. However, cosmetic dentistry in Findlay OH as with all trained dentists around the country, the standard is to repair teeth and prevent further decay while treating the patient with sincerity and dignity.
