If you are unhappy with your smile, you may be considering one or more cosmetic treatments. Cosmetic dentistry is a good investment because it has several benefits. Although cosmetic dentistry can greatly enhance your smile, the results go beyond enhancing your appearance; cosmetic dentistry procedures can improve your overall self-confidence and give you permanent, attractive teeth for life.
Bonding
Bonding is a tooth-colored material used to modify the color of teeth or fill in gaps between the teeth. Bonded composite substances may be the material of choice if your teeth are chipped or slightly decayed. In addition, bonding can be used to close spaces between teeth or change tooth shape and color.
Crowns
These are used to cover a tooth and reinstate it to its original appearance and shape. They are often used when other cosmetic procedures are ineffective. Many doctors recommend crowns as treatment for extremely decayed teeth.
Veneers
Veneers are narrow porcelain or plastic pieces positioned over the front teeth to alter your teeth shape or color. Teeth that are chipped, discolored, oddly shaped or unevenly crooked can be corrected with veneers.
Veneer treatment involves taking an impression of your tooth. Before placing a tailored veneer on your tooth, your dentist will buff the tooth to balance out the added veneer thickness. Once the buffing substance is between your tooth and the veneer, it is hardened using a light beam.
Contouring and Reshaping
Tooth reshaping and contouring is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that helps to rectify crooked, overlapping, chipped or irregularly shaped teeth. Tooth reshaping and contouring is used to change tooth shape, position or length. Often, bonding can be combined with tooth reshaping.
