A Perfect Smile can be Achieved With Help from Dr. Claudia Buracu Cocirlan

With advances in dental technology, there are a number of things that can be done to improve the functioning and appearance of your teeth. And you can learn about all of these with a visit to the dental practice of Dr. Claudia Buracu Cocirlan.

Dr. Buracu Cocirlan is an expert in all areas of dental treatments and enhancements. The most commonly known, of course, are orthodontics – better known as braces. But there are other steps you can take to improve your teeth.

One that has become more common in recent years is the veneer. This is an artificial covering that affixes to the front of the tooth. This corrects problems with discoloured teeth, and also takes care of gaps and teeth that don’t line up, perhaps because one tooth has been damaged.

Dr. Buracu Cocirlan offers two types of veneers. One is called the direct veneer. This involves the front surface of the tooth being removed to make room for a veneer that will cover the front of the tooth. The second type is called an indirect veneer, and this one will last longer.

This involves a mould of your teeth being made and a veneer being manufactured from that. This is then placed over the tooth.

If you have damage to the biting surface of a tooth, Dr. Buracu Cocirlan may recommend a dental inlay. This involves removing a portion of the outside of the tooth from the biting area and placing a section in that will take the place of the damaged portion.

Of course, the crown is a well known option for those who wish to have a perfect set of teeth or for people who have had a root canal and need the crown to support the strength of the tooth. This will involve placing an artificial cover over the tooth. Sometimes a post is used to ensure that the crown is firmly attached.

Dr. Buracu Cocirlan will explain all of these options thoroughly and lay out the relative costs and procedures.

Sometimes, your dentist will recommend sealants for your back teeth to keep food debris from becoming lodged in the grooves that run along the biting surface of the teeth. This is a preventative measure that can ward off cavities in the future.

If discolouration is the problem, then you might find that tooth whitening is all that you need. This involves making a mould of your teeth and then applying a substance that bleaches the surface of the teeth.

Problems with wisdom teeth are a common item for dental professionals to deal with. These molars often can’t erupt normally because there isn’t enough room for them. This can lead to misalignment or even impacted wisdom teeth that remain below gum level. Leaving these wisdom teeth unattended can lead to alignment and other problems.
