What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
We often see, in television shows and movies, public figures who have a perfect smile and we wonder how is it possible that their teeth are so aligned and so beautiful? Well, it is clear that not everyone is lucky enough to have impeccable teeth naturally. The truth is that it is very difficult to achieve a wonderful smile. Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses precisely on that. That is, it helps us solve certain aesthetic problems of the teeth through various dental treatments.
Types of Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures: Exploring Dental Enhancements
There are 5 types of cosmetic procedures;
- 1. Inlays and outlays
- These are indirect fillings, made by a dental lab and used when tooth has a small decay with not enough room to provide a regular filling. These are made from a composite resin. This dental procedure strengthens the teeth to avoid any further decay.
- 2. Composite bonding
- Dental bonding is the repair of decayed, damaged or discolored teeth using a tooth coloured enamel. During this form of restorative dentistry, the dental professional will drill out the tooth decay and then apply the composite.
- 3. Dental veneers
- made to resemble the patients natural tooth, porcelain veneers are the most drastic form of cosmetic dentistry. They change the shape and colouring of the natural tooth to fix any discoloration or damage. The veneer is applied to the surface of the tooth.
- 4. Teeth whitening
- teeth whitening or teeth bleaching is a common procedure that can be done at your dentist’s office, but is commonly done at home as well. Dentists can provide you with an at home kit, for you to perform weekly treatments yourself. Teeth can become stained from excessive coffee, tea or red wine which can cause your teeth to deter and effect your oral health.
- 5. Dental Implants
- used to replace missing teeth. Implants can be one tooth or an entire mouth (also known as dentures). The implants go indistinguishable from the surrounding teeth. Dental implants may be recommend to patients as a form of pain treatment, where we suggest removing a tooth causing consistent pain as an option.
