Cosmetic dentistry is a division of dentistry that its main purpose is to make teeth and smile beautiful. We all know how amazingly white and perfect smile affects on the people. That is why one of the most important features of facial beauty is teeth and smiles. In cosmetic dentistry, the color and the shape of the teeth are close to ideal. But what are the cosmetic dentistry services?
- Teeth Whitening Treatment
Teeth whitening is usually referred to as bleaching, but sometimes other treatments such as bonding or lamination may be used to whiten teeth.
In bleaching, a solution containing hydrogen peroxide of a particular concentration comes in contact with the teeth to eliminate tooth stains. Bleaching is usually done in one session at the dental office. In the same session, which lasts 40 minutes to an hour, all the teeth are whitened at the same time. If the stain and discoloration of the tooth are severe, it may take two or three sessions. In any case, professional bleaching in the dental office works very quickly, but if you prefer to bleach your teeth at home, you should use lower concentration bleaching materials. The bleaching effects can last from a few months to two years, depending on the foods we eat and habits like smoking.
- Cosmetic Bonding
In short, composite bonding is a treatment in which the composite resin solution is used to fill holes, fractures, or tooth filling. If bonding is used to correct the color or shape of the surface of the front teeth, it is called a composite laminate. Composite laminating is used to whiten teeth, chipped, tooth cracking as well as filling the gap between teeth (if the gap is short). Bonding is also in the same color as the natural tooth.
- Ceramic Laminate
Ceramic laminate is a small white thin shell that adheres to the front surface of the tooth to repair them and improve their appearance. The ceramic laminate is made in the lab. Ceramic laminate, like composite laminate, is used to whiten teeth, to repair, and correcting cracking, fracture, and gap between teeth, crooking, and deformity as well as tooth shortening. The cost of a ceramic laminate is higher than that of the composite laminate.
- Dental Crowns
A dental crown has many uses, and for various reasons, you may need to have a crown, one of which is the beauty of the teeth. Dental crowns, like laminates, are used to correct the color and shape of teeth, but they are used to solve more severe problems than laminates. A large part of the tooth needs to be shaved. For this reason, this treatment is somewhat invasive. Crowns are also used to replace the missing teeth and to strengthen the root canalled tooth.
- Dental Implants
The dental implant is one of the methods of filling the gap. With the help of implants, you enhance your smile, and you can eat as before. The dental implant is quite similar to a natural tooth and is the best cosmetic prosthetic.
Consult the cosmetic dentist to find out which one of the cosmetic treatments is best for you. So be sure to get enough information about your treatments before taking action.
