What are your options- Dental fluorosis treatment Delhi
Extrinsic staining on teeth is common and is commonly treated with teeth whitening. However, some white or brown stains on teeth are not easily managed with teeth whitening. Fluorosis is a condition caused by overexposure to fluoride in the early years of life when permanent teeth are developing. So, what are your treatment options? Hold on if you are also wondering about the treatment, as we have covered you. In the information provided below, we will briefly discuss the treatment options- brought to you by Smayate Dental Clinic Delhi.
Why Dental fluorosis treatment Delhi
There are many different reasons for which you need the treatment. Fluorosis is only a cosmetic concern in its early stages. As the stage progresses, it becomes more of a functional issue.
Aesthetics
The presence of white or brown spots on the teeth affects the overall aesthetics of your smile. It can make you self-conscious and have a negative impact on your self-esteem.
Enamel Pits
The enamel may become weak and porous in the advanced stages of dental fluorosis. Over time, the enamel surface develops tiny pits and grooves that make it harder to keep the surface clean.
Susceptibility to Tooth Decay
The weakened enamel surface makes teeth more vulnerable to tooth decay. Softer enamel is more susceptible to acid attacks from bacteria, leading to an increased risk of tooth decay.
Tooth Sensitivity
Mottled teeth are more susceptible to changes in temperature when hot and cold food is consumed. The teeth’ porous and irregular surface layers expose the soft inner layers, leading to tooth sensitivity.
Impact on Chewing
In severe cases of fluorosis, the enamel is majorly affected, leading to difficulty in chewing and speech in some instances.
Treatment options – Dental fluorosis treatment Delhi
There are various treatment options available to manage dental fluorosis effectively. Our Smayate Dental Clinic Delhi experts decide the best suited treatment option after carefully examining your case and formulating a customized treatment plan.
Dental Bonding
It is a simple, non-invasive procedure where we apply a tooth-colored resin material to the affected tooth. The resin is carefully molded to match the natural tooth’s form and shape. The tooth-colored resin material is hardened using a special light; dental bonding is an effective way of improving the appearance of mottled teeth.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells of porcelain attached to the teeth’ front surface. It is a minimally invasive procedure involving preparing the affected teeth for the veneers. The veneers used are generally made of porcelain and are fabricated in the lab. They are highly durable and effective ways to enhance your smile cosmetically.
Microabrasion
Microabrasion is a simple technique that involves the removal of a thin enamel layer using chemicals. This process helps us remove the intrinsic stains and surface irregularities. It is a safe and effective way to manage the intrinsic stains of mottled teeth. If required, microabrasion can also be combined with teeth whitening to produce optimum results.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are indicated in severe cases of mottled enamel where the structure is extensively damaged. Crowns provide the necessary strength and protection apart from enhancing the appearance.
