Though traditional dentistry is related to oral hygiene and
treatment of oral ailments, cosmetic
dentistry focuses more on the improvement of your appearance and looks. It
is in demand as it helps to mask discolored teeth, chipped and missing teeth
and gives you a celebrity-styled smile.
Teeth whitening: Though there are
many aspects of cosmetic dentistry,
the most popular cosmetic dental work currently is teeth whitening. This
procedure includes application of whitening gel that is applied on your teeth
and held in place with a jaw conforming tray. You will need to sit for a short
time or longer, depending on how discolored the teeth are.
Dental veneers: Another type of
cosmetic dental work is application of dental veneers. The dentist takes a
small, thin piece of porcelain that is custom shaped as per the structure of
your tooth. It is then cemented onto your teeth. This gives the tooth a
polished and natural shine. This procedure works well for people with
discoloration, chipped teeth, or crooked teeth.
Dental Implants: Implants are a
popular cosmetic dental procedure. This procedure is done to replace teeth that
may be missing. A titanium stud is implanted directly into the jaw bone and
after it bonds completely, a porcelain tooth that is identical to your original
tooth is anchored over it. This makes it look natural and you do not have to
take them out unlike dentures.
It is necessary to talk to your dentist to find out what
type of work your teeth require, be it crowns, bonding, or extensive
orthodontic work. You can have the smile that you covet in one or two visits.Call Smile Creations for more information!
