Over the years, cosmetic dentistry procedures have become more and more popular. These procedures are completed to improve the aesthetic appearance of patient’s teeth to make their smile look whiter, brighter, and flawless. Having the confidence to show off your smile and perfectly shaped teeth is a great accomplishment. If you are interested in improving or restoring the appearance of your smile, consider the following procedures.
1. Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedure. It is a great option for those looking to improve their smile without doing anything too invasive. This procedure whitens your teeth with the help of a bleaching agent. It is helpful in removing stains and discoloration. Depending on the treatment, you could lighten your teeth two to nine shades. Teeth whitening is also one of the more affordable cosmetic dentistry procedures.
2. Porcelain Veneers
If teeth whitening is not an option for you, porcelain veneers might be the answer. These thin, porcelain shells are fabricated to fit over your natural tooth to correct spacing issues, cracks, and discoloration. They will help enhance your smile and the look of your teeth. Measurements will be taken before creating them, so they fit perfectly. Unlike teeth whitening, porcelain veneers require the permanent alteration of your natural teeth.
3. Dental Implants
Dental implants are permanent solutions to lost teeth. The implants are made up of titanium and consist of an artificial tooth root that is surgically implanted into your jaw. The implant fuses to the bone, providing the highest level of strength and durability. There is a six-month recovery process for this procedure before the crown can be placed on it to finalize the procedure.
4. Porcelain Crowns
The porcelain crown is attached on top of the implant to function just like the natural tooth. They offer a natural, tooth-like appearance and help to hide bad decay, poorly shaped teeth, and chipped teeth.
5. Invisalign Braces
Invisalign services are a great option for those looking for straighter teeth without the full mouth of wires and brackets. The treatment involves wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that will gradually straighten your teeth. They fit snugly over your teeth, which makes them virtually invisible.
