Cosmetic Dentistry Can Help Manage the Effects of GERD

Having acid reflux disease — also referred to as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) — will greatly affect your smile. The highly acidic contents of the stomach are forced into the mouth leading to the erosion of tooth enamel.

Tooth enamel serves to protect the living tissues of the teeth. Controlling acid reflux will prevent damage to the teeth. If your teeth are already damaged, cosmetic dentistry can give you back a great smile.

Tooth Bonding

Dental or tooth bonding refers to the use of resin to repair the tooth. Resin is colour-matched to your natural teeth and will protect teeth from future damage. The resins are used to fill gaps and cupping, and to repair any chips or cracks on your teeth.

Dental Crowns

Significant enamel damage caused by a long duration of untreated acid reflux can be corrected with ceramic or porcelain crowns. Dental crowns serve the purpose of restoring the appearance, shape and function of teeth. They also protect teeth from further damage — although you still should seek treatment for acid reflux.

Porcelain veneers

These are very thin strips of ceramic that look like enamel and will give back your smile. Porcelain veneers are a good solution for sensitive, stained or discoloured teeth — and for teeth prone to cavities. Veneers are attached to the tooth, covering the enamel surface and enhancing your smile.

Get acid reflux under control

It’s important to get treatment for acid reflux. Possible interventions include a change of diet, lifestyle changes, and medication. Without control of acid reflux, tooth damage will continue to take place.

Visit your dentist to get and discuss the best available option in cosmetic options to restore your smile after damage caused by acid reflux.

What Our Patient's Say

I have always been very impressed with the standard of cutomer care you recieve at Balsall Common Dental Practice. I have been going to see Dr Ashley Daveport for many years, along with my children. Ashley and his team have gone out of their way to make my whole family feel at ease and given us all top quality Dentistry work. Currently I am half way through correcting my teeth with clear ratainers. I am a teacher and the children have not noticed me wearing them. They are a great product and as an adult, are a more favourable alternative to a fixed brace. Finally the children love coming to the Dentist to get their stickers and to play on the Nintendo, while waiting for mummy and daddy. - read more

Treatment at Balsall Common Dental Practice is changing my life! I was extremely fearful of dentistry in general due to a bad past experience at another practice. Consequently I had not visited any dentist in quite some time. Old fillings were failing badly, some teeth were broken and a crown had snapped off in the front of my mouth. I had trained myself to speak without showing my top teeth and smile with my mouth firmly shut. This dentist has restored my smile, my confidence and my faith in dentistry! I would, and have recommended this dentist without reservation to everyone. I can't stop smiling! Thank you so much. - read more
