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.
