Cosmetic dentistry is a combination of several dental procedures aimed at improving the aesthetics of one's smile. Some of the most sought-after cosmetic dental procedures are teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, bridges, dental implants, inlays, onlays, gum contouring, composite bonding, fillings, etc.
At our dental practice, we would conduct an initial screening of the oral cavity to determine the various issues affecting your smile's aesthetics. Some of the factors that we would look into are:
Dental implants: Missing teeth are a huge letdown and can lead to a lot of embarrassment. Patients with missing teeth feel too conscious of themselves when they socialize with people or attend gatherings. Dental implants are the closest alternatives for natural teeth as they are inserted into the jawbone. They are durable, long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing, and restore the functionality of the mouth.
Crowns:Crowns are cap-like restorations that are used to cover the entire surface of a tooth. They are used to restore teeth that are damaged or have certain surface imperfections.
Bridges: Bridges are replacement teeth that are fitted in position using crowns on either side. They are made from tooth-colored ceramic material, which can be customized as required to mimic the appearance of the natural teeth.
Filling: Fillings are made from a ceramic or composite resin and are usually used to fill cavities caused due to tooth decay. In addition to this, they can be used to restore teeth that are cracked or chipped.
Inlays and Onlays:Inlays are an alternative to tooth fillings. They are fabricated in a dental laboratory according to the cavity's contour, thereby offering a perfect fit. Onlays are popularly known as 'half-crowns' as they are used to restore only the upper half of a tooth. The worn-out surface of a tooth can be fixed using onlays.
Bonding: Bonding involves applying composite resin on the surface of teeth that are worn out, chipped, or misshapen. They are popularly used to restore the shape of the teeth.
Gum contouring:Gum diseases can ruin the smile of a person to a great extent. The gum tissues could decay and even recede below the gum line, thereby exposing the root surfaces. Gum surgery involves removing the decayed gum tissues and grafting healthy ones to the receded area.
