You are bound to run into some kinds of dental problems as you get older. It’s just one of the facts of life. That said, you don’t need to just encounter the dental problems and let them go unsolved. When you visit Fairfield, CT cosmetic dentist Dr. Ben M. Schultz, he’ll discuss all of your dental care options in great depth and detail. Below, we have compiled a list of some of the most common dental problems that people face and how we are able to overcome them.

Tooth Decay

Whether we’re talking cavities or more substantial tooth decay, tooth decay can be very serious. It can cause you lots of pain and discomfort, and it can also ruin your smile. For this dental problem, the best approach is getting fillings, inlays, onlays, or dental crowns.

Chips and Cracks on the Teeth

A chip or a crack on a tooth may be caused by some sort of accident or may be related to another injury you’ve sustained. These unsightly little problems can be fixed with dental bonding, porcelain veneers, or dental crowns.

Tooth Discoloration

Stains on the teeth are sometimes unavoidable, and the same can be said for discoloration of your smile. To fight back against this tarnishing, undergoing a Fairfield, CT teeth whitening is the answer.

Tooth Loss and Missing Teeth

Whether you’re missing one tooth or many teeth, you know just how much that can affect your ability to eat and speak. Jaw bone issues may result as well due to a missing tooth. Dentures and dental bridges are pretty good solutions to consider, and dental implants are particularly effective at holding those restorations in place.

Crooked Teeth and Uneven Teeth

Whether a slight bit of crookedness or major spacing issues, crooked teeth can be fixed in various ways. Porcelain veneers can deal with minor unevenness, and orthodontic treatment or Invisalign can be used for more serious needs.
