What you should know about Cosmetic Dentistry

Are you compromising on your smile because of discolored, uneven, chipped, spaced out or missing teeth? If yes, it’s time you think about correcting these dental irregularities and transform your life by bringing back your confident smile. A great smile reflects confidence and the way the world sees you.It can positively impact your life not only aesthetically but also in improving your dental and overall health.

From subtle changes to major repairs, your dentist can perform a variety of procedures to improve your smile. Your dentist can reshape your teeth, close spaces, restore worn out teeth or alter the length of your teeth. Common procedures include bleaching, bonding, crowns, veneers, reshaping, and contouring.Many of these treatments can improve oral problems such as your bite, prevent bad breath or dental disorders that arise from misaligned teeth or poor oral health.

Some of the cosmetic corrections for your teeth include:

Bleaching – Bleaching is one of the common processes used to whiten teeth, remove stains or discoloration that result from certain medication, beverages and cigarettes or age. Bleaching involves a chemical process.Whitening in the office is more effective than at home. It may require an hour’s visit to your dentist’s office.

Bonding: Bonding is used to change the color of teeth with tooth-colored fillings, fill in gaps or cavities. Though bonding can last for several years, it is more susceptible to staining or chipping than other forms of restoration. This requires a single office visit.

Crowns: Also known as caps, crowns are used to restore the tooth to its normal shape, improve appearance and cover gaps in-between teeth if any. Among all the cosmetic restorations, crowns have the longest life expectancy but is time-consuming.

Veneers: These are alternatives to crowns. Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic used to change the color or shape of your front teeth. It is used when the teeth are chipped, discolored, unevenly spaced, crooked or have an uneven surface. Veneers may be used for the same purpose as bonding, but last longer and are more stable than bonding.

Contouring and Reshaping: This is commonly used to alter the length, shape or position of your teeth, ideally used for those who need subtle changes to their smile. Reshaping is normally combined with bonding. Done in a single session, the procedure is used to correct crooked or crowded, chipped or unevenly shaped teeth.
