Some people may have experienced the frustration of undergoing expensive cosmetic or restorative dentistry, only to have it break down soon afterwards and require repeated replacement. When crowns or veneers crack after just a couple years, bridges repeatedly need replacing, the problem may not be the dental work itself, but rather a lack of integrity and health in the underlying structures of the mouth: the bone, gums, bite alignment, and teeth.

It is important to establish a strong foundation before performing cosmetic or restorative dentistry to ensure success. Crowns will experience unnecessary wear and tear, causing them to break if the bite was not properly aligned in the first instance. Bridges placed on vulnerable teeth often will result in the loss of those teeth too, either through decay or gum disease and loosening of the teeth.

No amount of cosmetic dentistry can give you a beautiful smile if underlying gum disease is not treated to ensure the integrity of your teeth
