Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic Dentistry is any dental work that improves the appearance of your teeth as well as your gums and/ or bite in order to give you a perfect smile. Its basic purposes are to improve dental aesthetics such as the position, size, color, alignment and shape. Cosmetic Dentistry does not necessarily improve the functionality of your teeth.
Types of cosmetic Dentistry
Teeth Whitening or Teeth Bleach
This is one of the most basic cosmetic dentistry procedures. Over the years, your teeth become stained and worn from food, drinks, medication and personal habits such as smoking. Therefore,Tooth Whitening or Bleaching is necessary to restore its original color. This process does not add nor remove dental materials or alter the structure of the tooth or gums. This procedure is safe, fast, easy and effective for almost everyone.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw so as to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. The implant device which is usually made of titanium is inserted into the position of the missing tooth thereby serving as a support for a dental crown.
Veneers
This is a thin layer of porcelain made to fit over the front surface of a tooth. They look extremely realistic and can resolve several cosmetic problems, ranging from crooked teeth, to changing the color of teeth that do not respond well to whitening procedures, to cracked or damaged enamel and noticeable gaps between two teeth.
Bonding
This refers to the repair of decayed, damaged or discolored teeth using material that resembles the color of tooth enamel. Bonding is one of the least expensive cosmetic dentistry procedures available to patients with tooth decay, chipped or cracked teeth and worn-down edges.
