How Can Cosmetic Dentistry Improve My Smile?

Filed under: Uncategorized @ 4:55 am

Cosmetic Dentistry is used when work is to be carried out to better the aesthetics of someone’s mouth.

Previously, you would visit a private dentist for standard restorative processes such as the extraction of teeth or fillings.

Nowadays, many a people go to a cosmetic dentist when they wish to improve the appearance of their grin by neatening, lightening, remolding or mending their teeth. Most see this as not unlike improving their appearance via a new hairdo or aesthetic surgery.

Procedures that are used to carry this out include crowns, veneers, bridges, dental implants, fillings and teeth whitening:

Dental Crowns:
If your tooth is heavily filled or broken, your private dentist may need to implement a crown to help rejuvenate its strength and appearance.

Veneers:
Veneers are thin cuts of porcelain made to fit precisely over the surface of your front tooth.

Bridges:
A dental bridge is when your dentist will crown the teeth on both sides of the absent tooth and bond a false tooth in between.

Dental Implants:
Implants are rods set into the jawbone which then act as mainstays for attaching dentures or crowns onto.

Tooth Coloured Fillings:
Tooth coloured fillings are now becoming a frequent alternative to traditional fillings. Generally, it is not possible to even tell that a filling is in place.

Tooth Whitening
Teeth Whitening is used to lighten the and tone of your teeth which can turn discolored as time goes by by smoking, coffee etc.
