Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic Dentistry involves the use of dental techniques to improve the appearance of your teeth and provide you with a more attractive smile. Cosmetic Dentistry is often referred to as a ‘smile makeover’.
What are the benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic Dentistry can improve the look of your teeth and smile but it can also help repair or treat other issues you have, for example if you have had an accident and require your teeth to be replaced or fixed.
Cosmetic Dentistry encompasses a lot of different procedures which all have their own benefits and target specific problems such as discoloured teeth, badly aligned teeth or a gummy smile.
What does Cosmetic Dentistry involve?
As previously mentioned Cosmetic Dentistry covers a large range of possible treatments so we’ve put a brief summary for each of those below.
Veneers
Wafer thin tooth coloured layers bonded to your tooth – perfect to improve the size, shape and colour of your teeth and smile.
Lumineers
A Porcelain form of Dental Veneer which is contact lens thin and placed on the existing tooth. They are quick and easy and don’t involve the removal of the top layer of the tooth unlike the traditional Veneer.
Bonding
Easy and cheap form of Cosmetic Dentistry. Bonding involves the application of tooth coloured resin to repair a chipped, decayed or discoloured tooth.
Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening at a dental practice involves placing a light activated bleaching agent on the teeth while protecting the gums. The bleaching agent starts to work once a laser is shone on it. Home kits take longer to achieve the desired effect because the agent is weaker and the results may not be as good as teeth whitening completed by a Cosmetic Dentistry practitioner.
Gum reshaping/ Gum contouring
A low or uneven gum line can be corrected by using a laser treatment to remove excess tissue and reveal a more appealing smile.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial teeth placed in the jaw bone to hold replacement teeth or denture in place. In most cases the artificial root is made from titanium. Dental Implants are suitable for individuals with one or more missing teeth.
Caps and Crowns
Caps and crowns fit over your existing tooth. They are an ideal restoration tool for teeth which are broken or in disrepair.
Orthodontics (teeth straightening)
Orthodontic treatment is a way of straightening your teeth to improve their appearance and how they function. Many Orthodontic Cosmetic Dentistry solutions are very discreet and can be used by both children and adults.
Cosmetic Dentistry procedures are a generally safe and popular form of treatment. If you decide that it is right for you then further information on Cosmetic Dentistry, your suitability and any possible risks will be provided by a qualified Cosmetic Dentist during the consultation stage pre treatment.
