The most common cosmetic dental procedures

Whitening

Tooth whitening is a simple and inexpensive procedure. It lightens teeth and helps to remove stains and discolouration.

It is the most popular cosmetic dental procedure as it can improve the appearance of your teeth.

Porcelain Veneers

A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain made to fit over the front surface of a tooth and can improve its colour, shape and the position. It is mainly used for severe stains, chips, and other dental problems. This cosmetic enhancement is made from advanced material that resembles the look of natural dental enamel.

Dental Bonding

If you have chipped, broken, or stained tooth, dental bonding can be used to repair the damage teeth. In dental bonding, a tooth-coloured resin which is made up of durable plastic, is applied to teeth and then made hard by using ultraviolet light.

After that resin is polished and shaped to look like the existing tooth.

Dental Crown

A crown is basically a cap that fits over the broken tooth. It is a secure way to fill gaps and help to retain your smile. A crown can help in chewing your food easily. The cost depends on the material used for making the crown.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are used when a tooth is missing. They are made of titanium and are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums. There is no problem in chewing your food with dental implants. Also, you need not repair them regularly. Now you don’t have to worry about smiling freely.

Inlays

An inlay is just like a filling fitted into the grooves of a tooth which do not extend over the cusps of the tooth. The dentist takes an impression and sends it to a laboratory where the inlay is made. They are manufactured from porcelain or composite resin material which matches the colour of the tooth and provides almost invisible dental restoration.

So if you want your teeth to be pearly white or you are suffering from any dental issue, consult your dentist in Maroubra for the checkup.
