WHAT CAN A DO FOR YOU?



Improved facial symmetry, speech, dental hygiene, along with bone and teeth permanence are just some of the amazing benefits you can expect to get with cosmetic dentistry‌


‌ but the way you look and feel is an important benefit as well.

Here, we will discuss types of dental cosmetic procedures and what they can do for you.


TEETH WHITENING


Teeth whitening is very popular. Whitened teeth instantly improve the appearance of teeth, even though teeth may be crooked.


There is a reason for this. Teeth disproportionately yellow in crevices and other anomalies.


Whitening teeth hides these irregularities to provide a more uniform appearance. In addition, yellowed teeth add years to a person’s appearance.


Visiting a dentist is the best and safest way to whiten intrinsic and extrinsic stains.


VENEERS AND TOOTH BONDING


Innovative technology has changed veneers from what they used to be.


Veneers can be placed in front of teeth to help correct gaps, crooked teeth or discolored teeth.


This is an excellent option for teeth that have been discolored by medication or illness.


Tooth bonding involves adhering a material to a tooth that is either damaged or discolored.


It is used to help correct a tooth’s appearance so that it matches and functions like other teeth.


CROWNS, INLAYS AND ONLAYS


Crowns are a common dental cosmetic procedure as well. A crown covers an entire tooth to help protect a damaged tooth.


It can be made from porcelain or acrylic resin to give it a natural appearance. Crowns help to preserve teeth and protect bone mass in the mouth.


Inlays and onlays are also restorative methods for preserving teeth, but they are less intensive than crowns.


An inlay sits inside of a tooth, and an onlay may also sit inside a tooth, but it also covers more of the exterior portion of a tooth.


IMPLANTS


When a tooth cannot be saved for whatever reason, implants may be a good option.


Implants are like crowns where an artificial surface takes the place of and functions like a tooth, but it must be secured in another manner.


First, an anchor must be used in the patient’s jawbone to adhere the implant.


Because implants are anchored to the jawbone, patients are able to preserve their jawbone mass and facial symmetry.


Implants help with chewing, correcting a person’s bite and protection from various forms of gum disease.


TEETH SHAPING


Teeth shaping is a relatively easy process, but it has astounding results.


Changing the shape of a few teeth in the mouth can completely change the look of the mouth.


Teeth shaping is used to create better alignment and symmetry.


Your dental hygiene is affected by more than your brushing and flossing habits.


HEALTH BENEFITS


Poor alignment and crooked, broken or missing teeth can cause gum disease and an impact on your overall health.


“

At any time, you have numerous bacteria inside of your mouth. They can enter your gums and the rest of your body if you don’t take care of your mouth.


Cosmetic dentistry does make people look and feel better, but the benefits of a healthy mouth far surpass any other benefit.
