If your smile suffers from one or more of the most common alignment issues – including gaps, crowding, underbite, overbite, or crossbite – then you know how orthodontic problems can affect your life. Whether you are an adult who feels you have waited too long to seek teeth-straightening treatment or the parent of a little one with orthodontic concerns, Dr. Carol Morgan is here to help. At Hampton Roads Center for Cosmetic Dentistry in Virginia Beach, VA, we believe every patient deserves to enjoy straight teeth and a healthy smile. That’s why we offer an all-encompassing menu of orthodontic solutions to fit your unique lifestyle.
The Importance of a Straighter Smile
People with straight, healthy teeth tend to be perceived as more attractive, charismatic, and even successful. If your teeth are misaligned, gapped, or crowded, you may feel hesitant to show your smile when the mood strikes. Having straighter teeth helps patients who would otherwise feel self-conscious about their smile share it with the world.
Though the cosmetic benefits of straight teeth are quite clear, many patients don’t realize how the alignment of your teeth actually affects overall oral health. Teeth that are properly aligned are inherently easier to clean, making them less susceptible to problems like tooth decay. In addition, straighter teeth tend to result in a more comfortable bite, thereby reducing a patient’s risk of developing common issues like temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMJ.

When most people think of a root canal, the first thing that comes to mind is an uncomfortable procedure they’d just as soon rather avoid. 
Periodontal disease, more commonly referred to simply as gum disease, is a common oral health condition that affects approximately 80 percent of adults in America today.

There is no question, having a whiter and brighter smile can make you look years younger. Our teeth get stained daily by the foods we eat and the liquids we drink. Out teeth stain quickly especially when we drink coffee or wine. Brushing alone will not give us the brighter and whiter smile we all desire. Don’t fool yourself, whitening tooth paste will not get your teeth as white as a professional Virginia Beach cosmetic dentist.

Did you see the recent episode of Dr. Oz discussing the mercury toxicity of amalgam (silver) fillings? The show discussed that people are being “poisoned” by their amalgam fillings and that the mercury allegedly being released from such fillings is responsible for a whole host of chronic health issues and diseases. The American Board of Dentistry’s official position is that amalgam fillings are not harmful. We do not pass judgment on the allegations on Dr. Oz’s show or the position of the ADA, however, our office chooses not to place amalgam fillings. In fact, we remove a whole lot of amalgam fillings and replace them with beautiful
