Cosmetic dentistry is a type of dentistry primarily designed to correct unappealing appearances of the teeth. This includes misaligned teeth, stained teeth, teeth with discoloration, broken teeth, worn-out teeth, and teeth gaps between them. The main purpose of cosmetic dentistry is to give you a brighter and more confident smile. Therefore, if you have such a problem, the top dentist in the area can help you solve it. 

Different Types of Cosmetic Training

Below are various types of cosmetic dental procedures available today.

1. Teeth Whitening

It is the most effortless way to give your smile a total makeover. It is not only inexpensive, but it is also simple. You can visit the top dentist in the area for an in-office whitening procedure. You can also buy a mold and the appropriate gels from them and whiten the teeth yourself at home. Retail stores have also stocked up with whitening products for use at home.

2. Dental Bonding

This is the process where a white putty-like resin is applied to your teeth. The plastic material is then hardened using UV light and shaped. All this is done to repair decays, cracks, and chipped teeth. 

3. Dental Implants

Made of titanium, this is a tooth replacement that a dentist inserts into your jawbone as a remedy for a missing tooth. This procedure needs extra attention; a slight mistake can mean adverse oral health effects. Therefore, it would be best if you visited the top dentist in the area for assured quality. 

4. Dental Crown

Also known as a cap, a dental crown is used to repair a decayed tooth above the gum. It holds the tooth together, ensuring that it does not crack. 

5. Dental Veneers

These are made from medical-grade ceramic. They are created individually for every patient so that they can perfectly resemble natural teeth. These veneers are used to correct cosmetic problems such as a cracked enamel, crooked teeth, and gaps. 

6. Composite Bonding

This is a procedure that dentists use to cover the damages due to discoloration and tooth decay problems. The dentist will drill the decay out and apply composite on the surface. The tooth will then be appropriately shaped and later cured using high-intensity light. 

7. Inlays and Onlays

These are mainly used to treat mild to moderate tooth decay, especially when the decay is extensive to the point of not being able to support the standard filling. If the decay is not too extensive, an inlay will be placed on the tooth surface. However, if the damage is too extensive to reach the cusps, an onlay will be used to cover the whole tooth surface.

Cosmetic surgery can be classified as both an art and a science. Technology has also contributed a great deal towards the success of these procedures. Contact us today for the best cosmetic surgery experience.
