Regain Your Smile and Confidence with Cosmetic Dentistry

Whether you have discolored teeth, chipped, teeth, or even a few teeth missing, with the advancements in dental materials and techniques, it has become possible to make changes from subtle to major repairs and improve your appearance through cosmetic dentistry.

Cosmetic dentistry generally focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, or bite than on the functionality. It may involve:

·         Bleaching

·         The addition of dental materials to teeth and gums

·         The use of bridges and implants

·         The use of veneers, caps, and crowns

Types of Cosmetic Treatments

Teeth Whitening

Your teeth can get stained or discolored over time either with the consumption of certain foods, beverages, such as coffee, tea, due to some medication, or due to smoking. These stains and discoloration could be treated with a bleaching procedure carried out either at home under dental supervision or at the dental clinic.

If you desire to have the bleaching at home, the dentist will offer you a mouthpiece for use at home that ensures the proper exposure of your teeth and the use of the right quantity of whitening solution.

Bleaching at home takes about two to four weeks, depending on the desired level of shade you wish to achieve, whereas at the clinic, it is matter of forty-five minutes to an hour.

Bonding

Bonding involves the usage of tooth-colored, bonding dental materials or composite resins to fill in gaps or cavities to improve the look of cracked, chipped, stained, and broken teeth. Although it requires just a one-time visit to the clinic and has lasting benefits, it is more susceptible to chipping or staining than other restoration techniques.

Crowns

You might need a crown if you have:

·         Misshaped or discolored teeth

·         Weak teeth

·         Broken or worn out teeth

·         A bridge or an implant in place

·         Had a root canal treatment

Crowns are also known as caps and are used to fully cover a tooth and slowly restore its normal shape and appearance. Crowns require more than one visit to the clinic and are long lasting when maintained well. 

Veneers

Veneers are custom shells of porcelain or plastic placed over the front sides of the teeth to change their color or restore their shape. Veneers are less expensive, serve similar purposes as that of crowns, and are considered an alternative to crowns.

Dental Implants

Does the loss of a tooth or teeth impede you from smiling, laughing, speaking, and eating your favorite food?

Don’t worry; dental implants help you regain your confidence.

Dental implants are a long term surgical solution, alternative to bridges for replacing missing teeth and to retain artificial teeth. It involves the use of:

a.      Titanium or some ceramics that fuse tightly to the jaw bones

b.      An implant abutment, secured over the part of the implant

c.       A crown connected to the abutment that gives a tooth like appearance

Implants are one of the more expensive and involved cosmetic procedures and therefore requires quality time from you for completing the implant process, good care of the implants, and follow up dental checkups.
