A cosmetic dentistry procedure can be one or a combination of dental procedures performed to improve the appearance of your teeth. Dental procedures that offer restorative benefits are usually chosen as cosmetic dental procedures to improve the smile.
The most common cosmetic dental treatments performed today are:
- Teeth Whitening
- Veneers
- Implants
- Dental Crowns and Bridges
- Orthodontic Appliances
1. Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the first things we recommend. When considering a smile makeover. It is also known as teeth bleaching. Because it can whiten stained or discolored teeth. Not all types of teeth whitening are created equal. They can be performed both in the dental clinic and at home. In addition, several options are available, such as B. Zoom Teeth Whitening and Laser Teeth Whitening. Zoom teeth whitening is chosen when you are short on time and need to whiten all your teeth. Laser teeth whitening is chosen when a particular tooth does not show the expected results even after using a whitening gel.
Again, not all teeth can be whitened. Therefore, it is very important that you consult your dentist before undergoing teeth whitening.
2. Veneers
Dental veneers are thin coverings or shells made of porcelain or composite material. They are used to give teeth a more attractive appearance. It is the most advanced type of cosmetic dentistry used worldwide. Veneers are custom made and bonded to the front of the tooth. Veneers are generally used to treat dental conditions such as slightly crooked teeth, discolored teeth, chipped teeth, or to fill small gaps between teeth.
3. Implants
Dental implants are now the main standard for dentures and can be considered a part of cosmetic dental procedures as they not only help restore the lost smile but also enhance the original smile to make it more attractive. A dental implant is a metal prosthesis designed to replace missing teeth. They fuse with the surrounding bone and eventually become a permanent part of your new smile. Dental implants are usually made of titanium and are surgically placed in the jawbone to replace the missing tooth.
4. Dental Crowns and Bridges
Dental crowns are also known as copings and are custom made to fit or cover the entire tooth. Crowns are usually made of acrylic or porcelain fused to metal to withstand bite pressure. A dental bridge consists of crowns on either side of the missing teeth that support the false tooth and are cemented in place. Dental crowns or bridges are used in cosmetic dentistry to treat teeth that are misshapen, broken, chipped, badly decayed, or have large fillings, or to fill gaps between teeth.
5. Invisalign Orthodontic Treatment
Invisalign treatment can be considered as a method of aesthetic dentistry that can replace cosmetic dental surgery. These are clear brackets made from aligners and not fixed brackets and metal brackets. They allow patients to straighten their teeth without anyone noticing as compared to porcelain veneers or regular braces, which can be embarrassing for many adults.
