Improve Your Smile with Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry uses both art and science in its many treatments. It focuses on enhancing your oral health, as well as your appearance. The advancements in this field help you achieve your smile goals. Here are the details on how cosmetic dentistry can improve your smile.

Dental implants

Each implant provides a tooth replacement that can blend well with the natural teeth. At the same time, it can give stability and strength to an individual’s dental functions. Dental implants are placed in the gums and calcified tissues and can take several months to complete depending on the patient's needs. However, the results are worth the effort, time, and money. This cosmetic dentistry procedure is an investment that can stay on with proper care and maintenance.

This procedure will need an experienced dental care provider. The dentist will first assess the patient’s teeth, gums, and jawbone. This is necessary to find out if the individual is eligible for dental implants. Ordering dental X-rays can help the dentist map out the patient’s dental gaps and problem teeth. The dentist will perform other dental treatments, such as dental extractions, if necessary. Proper healing must happen first before the dentist starts dental implant surgery.

Dental implants can strengthen one’s bite and chewing. These restorations can enhance one’s appearance as well. The natural-looking implants can blend well with the surrounding natural teeth. The patient gains peace of mind knowing that dental implants will not fall out or wiggle.

Teeth whitening

This is a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment for regaining one’s sparkling smile. It takes one visit to achieve the level of whiteness that the patient prefers. Teeth whitening is affordable and less invasive. The dentist does not need to remove any part of the dental structure in preparation for this procedure. But the dentist will be applying a bleaching agent, which may irritate the soft tissues of the mouth. That is why the patient will be wearing a protective dental appliance during the treatment.

Over-the-counter teeth whitening products promise quick results but often fail to do so. Professional teeth whitening treatment will give the desired results after the visit. This cosmetic dentistry treatment will be worth one’s time, effort, and money. The dentist will determine if the individual is a good candidate for teeth whitening.

Dental bonding

This cosmetic dentistry treatment is for people who want to receive a quick and affordable solution to specific dental issues. Dental bonding can correct chipping, staining, and dental gaps. The process will be over in one dental appointment. The patient can then enjoy a brand-new smile right away.

Porcelain veneers

This form of cosmetic dentistry treatment places thin porcelain shells on the target teeth. The veneers can cover blemishes, such as chips, cracks, and stains. Chips and cracks can disappear with these shells. Traditional teeth whitening may not be able to correct the discoloration. The dentist may recommend porcelain veneers to tackle the problem. The shells may also close dental gaps.

Cosmetic dentistry can renew your smile and even your dental health

Dental deterioration can happen over time. Cosmetic dentistry can erase or cover the damage and discoloration your teeth have developed. You do not need to live with them anymore. Working with your dentist can make your cosmetic dentistry treatments last for a long time.
