Cosmetic Dentistry

The area of dentistry known as cosmetic dentistry is concerned with enhancing the look of your smile. Veneers, dental bonding, and teeth whitening are common cosmetic dental procedures.

What distinguishes regular dentistry from Cosmetic dentistry?

An important source of dental treatment is a general dentist. They provide restorative dentistry procedures including dental fillings, crowns, and bridges as well as preventive care like teeth cleanings. The majority of dental procedures restore not only health and function but also attractiveness. A cosmetic dentist, on the other hand, concentrates on improving your smile. They provide procedures designed to make your teeth and gums look better.

Cosmetic dentistry may be a possibility if you have:

• teeth with cracks or chips.
• The spaces or little gaps between your teeth.
• tooth stains and discolouration.
• crooked teeth.
• crooked teeth.

You are able to get cosmetic dental procedures done as long as your teeth and gums are healthy. However, if you have gum disease or several cavities, your dentist will want to treat those issues first. You can choose whatever cosmetic procedures you wish to investigate when your smile has recovered its health.

Cosmetic dental procedures are designed to improve the balance, symmetry, and aesthetics of the smile. Dentures, veneers, dental bonding, and tooth and gum contouring are a few examples of common cosmetic dentistry procedures.

Whiten your teeth

Dark foods and beverages (such as coffee, tea, and berries) can cause your teeth to get stained over time. Your smile may be made brighter and your teeth’s hue can be substantially lightened safely with professional teeth whitening.

Both in-office and at-home teeth whitening are services that many dentists provide. An hour is roughly required for in-office whitening. A few weeks are often needed for at-home bleaching.

Dental bonding

Dental bonding involves the application of tooth-colored composite resin. In order to hide cracks, craze lines (hairline cracks), discolouration, and other aesthetic flaws, your dentist will apply this substance. With dental bonding, a tooth’s shape can be altered to make it longer, broader, or more uniform.

Typically, dental bonding has to be replaced every five to seven years. It is totally reversible because it doesn’t involve chipping away at the natural tooth enamel.

Porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers are little, sturdy covers that attach to the front surfaces of your teeth and are made of ceramic of a medical grade. Similar to dental bonding, veneers are able to hide a variety of aesthetic problems, such as chipping, cracks, and discolouration.

Veneers come in a variety of styles, including conventional and minimal prep. Depending on the kind you pick, all veneers involve at least partial loss of natural enamel, thus they could be reversible. Porcelain veneers often need to be replaced every 10 years or so.

Tooth shaping

Small portions of enamel are removed during this process to alter the contour of your teeth. Your dentist can only remove so much tooth structure since you only have a certain amount of natural enamel. In only one office visit, your dentist can shape your teeth.

Gum sculpting

Some people have extra gum tissue from birth. When this occurs, your grin may seem “gummy” or out of proportion. Your dentist will trim away any extra gum tissue during gum contouring.
