Facial expressions are a large part of body language. An attractive smile can make you look and feel good about yourself. Your teeth may not be as white as you would like or after years of eating, smoking, drinking coffee or tea, teeth can change. Cosmetic dentistry is a good place to start changing your smile to the one that you have always wanted, but Mother Nature failed to give you.
Here are some of the procedures your cosmetic surgeon might recommend for you:
BONDING
CROWNS AND BRIDGES
ORTHODONTISTS
TOOTH WHITENING
PORCELAIN VENEERS
DENTAL IMPLANTS
TOOTH CONTOURING & RE-SHAPING
Let we explain here few procedures:
TOOTH WHITENING
Your dentist has a variety of methods for restoring a bright white smile, including porcelain veneers, composite bonding, implants and whitening, also known as bleaching. However, of all the advances made in dentistry to improve the appearance of the teeth, whitening is the easiest and least invasive, and effective for 3 out of 4 cases. The procedure is safe, easy to use, and more affordable than ever before. Because of these reasons and more, whitening has become very popular.
TOOTH CONTOURING & RE-SHAPING
A chip in a front tooth, some worn edges, or shallow pits or grooves in the tooth enamel are all minor issues, but they do stand in the way of having a perfect smile. If you suffer from one or more of these problems -- even to the extent of a minor fracture or overlap -- they all can be fixed using a procedure known as tooth contouring and reshaping. Using a polishing instrument, the dentist removes small amounts of surface enamel of one or more teeth to compensate for the imperfections. Followed up with a smoothing and polishing of all the surrounding teeth.
A patient considering any procedure should gather all the information from the dentist who will be performing the any dental procedure. Cosmetic dentistry can make a big difference in your smile.
ORTHODONTISTS
Orthodontists specialize in tooth alignment and jaw correction. Their work consists of diagnosing and treating malocclusions or “bad bites” such as teeth crowding, gaps between the teeth, overbites and under bites. These conditions are often genetic, but they can also be caused by trauma or habits such as thumb-sucking. Through the use of corrective appliances like retainers or braces, orthodontists can prevent or treat such alignment problems. The result is teeth and jaws that function well, with a pleasing facial balance.
