How Cosmetic Dentistry Can Help Us


Traditionally, we went to a dentist only when we needed a dental check up, stain removal, cavity filling or any other such treatments. Few might also have gone to have a denture or a brace fitted but all in all, we went to a dentist only for cure and preventions.
Dentistry has evolved a lot as a science since those days. Cosmetic dentistry has evolved as one of the major branches of dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry aims to make your dental state beautiful. While the traditional needs are still fulfilled by various experts in this industry, a beautiful smile can also be produced by those expert cosmetic dentists. Oxnard has cosmetic dentists of the highest caliber.
People are becoming too worried and conscious about how they look. Attractive people attract much more prospect in life, as we generally believe. A smile is one of the deadliest weapons in making someone friendly and attracted towards you and of course a dazzling smile can only be possible if we have a set of teeth which look just perfect. A cosmetic dentist comes handy in this situation exactly. They can treat in various ways to help you achieve a  perfect smile. And the best thing is, these treatments are not much costly either.

 Cosmetic dentists can do a lot many treatments, as we previously mentioned. If you have too many stains, those can easily removed by the cosmetic dentists. If you have a broken tooth, using composite bonding, dentists can also repair that. There is a laser treatment for gum problems, missing tooth can be replaced by tooth implants and veneers can make the teeth look even. Invisalign can be used to make an uneven set straight. There are so many ways how cosmetic dentists can make your smile a perfect one, removing each and every imperfectness which might be there. In fact, many cosmetic dentists offer packages of complete oral reconstruction.

Every day new technologies make cosmetic dentistry even more improved. In the past few years, so many new technologies made the job easier for these dentists and also helped people to get a better smile easily. Newer technologies also mean less pain and discomfort while maintaining the highest standard of dental health care. Just for example, laser treatments allow the dentists to achieve the same result but way faster.
Smokers can't be befitted from the cosmetic dentistry, general. Smokers are more prone towards growing stains in their teeth as well as having gum infections. As smokers have bone structure deterioration, they can’t have cosmetic dentistry performed on them.


Oxnard Dental Smile Group  has evolved as a major branch of dentistry and has helped so many people achieve a better looking smile. With treatments like veneers, lasers and Invisalign, they have removed any imperfectness of smile easily and without causing any pain or discomfort to the patient. However, smokers are not good candidates for cosmetic dentistry.

Different Types of Cosmetic Dentistry Techniques



Teeth are important for your look. A set of stained or misaligned teeth can ruin the look of your face completely. The opposite is true as well. A beautiful smile can add much glow to your look. This is why people are becoming increasingly aware of the options to beautify their teeth and are adopting those techniques to get a beautiful smile.






There are several methods available for you, depending on the problem you have. The popular methods are

Teeth Whitening: The most popular way to get a beautiful smile is whitening. In this the discoloured or stained teeth are given back the white colour using different in-clinic or home cleaning kits.

Tooth reshaping: If one or more teeth are crooked or the shape of the total set is not perfectly aligned, they can be given the proper shape using this technique. It includes removing the enamels to change the shape and size of the crooked teeth.

Bonding: If you have a broken or tilted teeth and want to improve the look, an enamel like material is attached to the teeth using strong adhesives and then it is reshaped to fit the tooth properly. Often these materials are crafted and shaped before affixing.

Bridges: If one or a couple of teeth have fallen off, due to an accident or some disease, dental bridges are used to fill in those vacant areas by fitting false teeth in those places. These are actually porcelain crowns and are attached to the teeth on both the sides.

Dental Implants: In this method, artificial teeth, which look like natural one, are screwed directly you the jaw. Synthetic crowns are used to cover the fixing points. These are made to order and look and feel exactly like natural teeth, with these attached, you can easily chew, eat, bite and speak without any problem.

Bite reclamation: The vertical teeth can get tilted due to excessive acid influx or any accidental damage. It might make your face look shorter than it acstually is. Bite reclamation is done to give you back the original shape of your teeth.

Veneer: Veneers are ultra thin and are made of enamel looking material which are attached to the front side of the teeth. If the tooth is slightly broken or if there is any unwanted gap between the teeth, then veneers can be very effective.

Cosmetic dentistry can change the look permanently and also can work wonderfully to hide any damage that might have been there. However, you should get the advice of a professional dentist before you opt for these.
