What Can a Cosmetic Dentist Do for You

What​ ​Can​ ​a​ ​Cosmetic​ ​Dentist​ ​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​ d ​ ental​ ​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.
