Dentistry used to be fillings and pulling teeth. Now, dentistry has evolved immensely over the years that people are now blessed with a variety of dentistry treatments to improve the look and feel of their teeth. This is what Cosmetic Dentistry is known for.
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic Dentistry is known as performing aesthetics on your teeth. It’s also known as transforming the look and feel of your teeth. Cosmetic treatments now include straightening, lightening, reshaping and repairing teeth. There are many benefits to cosmetic dentistry, not just orally but mentally and physically. Whilst they’re not essential procedures, they are a nice-to-have, improving your appearance and delivering a healthy, beaming smile.
This guide details the types of cosmetic dentistry you can choose to improve the look and feel of your teeth, along with the benefits you can enjoy.
The Four Most Popular Cosmetic Treatments
- Teeth Whitening – Teeth Whitening is the most basic yet most effective form of cosmetic treatment that delivers the shine in your smile. The dentist usually uses bleach or laser whitening to deliver a lighter shade to your teeth. During your appointment, those stubborn dark stains and discoloration you suffer from will disappear completely. With shiny, white teeth, your natural appearance will transform your confidence and stay white for the long-term.
- Dental Implants – If you’re missing a tooth within your line of teeth, dental implants are the next best natural form of treatment to save your smile. A Dental Implant is an artificial replacement for your natural tooth, an artificial tooth infused into your jawbone to function as a normal stand-alone tooth. Implants are necessary particularly if your natural tooth is decayed or damaged beyond repair. With an implant, your jaw strength improves, your facial support is maintained, and your smile is natural.
- Dental Veneers – The Hollywood smile is developed from Dental Veneer fittings. All of those celebrities you see on TV showcase their bright shiny smiles. This is due to Dental Veneers. Dental Veneers are made with ultra-thin porcelain material, designed to fit on the front surface of your front teeth. Veneers hide those niggling issues to make way for a shiny smile and can last for a long time if looked after.
- Invisalign Braces – Invisalign is an up and coming popular form of treatment that delivers many benefits to your teeth. Invisalign braces are clear-cosmetic fitted braces that help align your teeth into position. The shape and look of your teeth are improved to deliver a straight, shiny smile. The advantage of Invisalign braces is that there are invisible and are unrecognizable when smiling in public. Whilst smiling, the appearance improves.
