Cosmetic
dentistry is a form of improving your mouth, teeth, and smile with the assistance
of a skilled dentist. Cosmetic dentistry is generally elective and rarely essential;
however, it can provide restorative benefits. There is a set of common cosmetic
dentistry procedures as given below,
What
are dental inlays and onlays?
Dental
inlays and onlays are used to restore teeth that are decayed, cracked, or
otherwise damaged. These are generally teeth that are not damaged enough to
need a crown, but at the same time, the tooth structure is too damaged to be
treated with a filling. Dental inlays and onlays are made in a dental
laboratory using porcelain and are then attached to the teeth with an adhesive
dental cement.
How
does composite bonding work?
Composite
bonding refers to the repair of damaged, decayed or discolored teeth using a material
that resembles the color of the natural tooth enamel. The dentist will drill
out the decayed tooth and apply the composite into the tooth and then sculpt it
into the right shape then harden it with a laser. Composite bonding is usually
one of the less pricey dental cosmetic procedures.
How
do dental veneers help?
Dental
veneers are the solution for crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, and damaged
enamel, all of which are generally categorized as cosmetic problems. Dental
veneers are usually made with medical grade ceramic and they are customized to
resemble the natural teeth of the patient. The dental veneers are applied to
the teeth using dental adhesive.
What
are dental implants?
This
is one of the best modern day cosmetic dental procedures. Dental implants
replace teeth after tooth loss. A titanium screw is used as the root of the
tooth and then inserted into the jaw area where the tooth is missing. Dental
implants look and feel like natural teeth, and with proper care will last for
decades.
