Cosmetic Dental Care

4 Popular Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

Many people turn to cosmetic dentistry because they are not happy with their smile. Sometimes, people have minor complaints and other times, struggle with more serious problems. Whether you have an overbite or underbite, crooked teeth or missing teeth, take time to talk to your dentist. Advanced techniques, materials and treatments make just about anything possible.

Cosmetic dentistry procedures that have people talking

While the list of cosmetic dentistry procedures is lengthy, some focus only on severe teeth and gum issues. On the other hand, there are plenty of other options that benefit most dental patients. Among those, four, in particular, stand out as being the most popular.

1.Tooth whitening

Also known as tooth bleaching, tooth whitening is one of the easiest ways to improve a person’s smile. Age, as well as stain-causing foods and beverages, tobacco use and even poor oral hygiene, can all lead to discoloration. For people with yellowed or grayish teeth, smiling is the last thing on their minds. This cosmetic dentistry procedure offers a lot of flexibility. A patient can have teeth whitened by a dentist or by using a recommended at-home product.

2.Dental veneers

Initially, only the rich and famous opted for veneers because as a prestigious cosmetic dentistry procedure, it was not affordable. Today, this is something that can benefit everyone. Not only is the price of veneers more affordable, but people can choose from an assortment of types. As a thin wafer of porcelain, ceramic or resin, when applied to the front of teeth, veneers look fantastic. Patients can choose the level of brightness preferred. A dentist can even use veneers as a way of reshaping a person’s teeth.

3.Tooth bonding

Tooth bonding is yet another one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures performed. This particular option is ideal for people with chipped or badly stained teeth. Using a composite bonding material, a dentist molds and applies it to damaged teeth. When complete, an individual’s teeth look white and healthy. The only real downside is that compared to veneers, dental bonding does not last as long.

4.Dental implants

Of all the different cosmetic dentistry procedures, dental implants are probably the most exciting. With this, a dentist inserts titanium poles into a patient’s jawbone. The exposed tip has an abutment used to hold the artificial tooth in place. The great thing about a dental implant is that it can replace a single missing tooth or an entire mouthful. The implants look completely natural and function just like permanent teeth.

Endless possibilities

If you are unhappy with the way your teeth or gums look, perhaps you are a candidate for cosmetic dentistry. With so many possibilities, today’s dental professionals can correct just about anything. Even if you have nice teeth, something like veneers would enhance your smile. To find out more, schedule an appointment with your dentist. Together, you can come up with a great plan.
