Have you been longing for a beautiful smile for many years now? Dental issues such as misshapen teeth, malocclusion, discoloration, damaged teeth, etc. can make the smile look displeasing. The best way to get rid of such issues and get a beautiful smile is with the help of cosmetic dentistry.
As the name suggests, cosmetic dentistry is the common term for all dental procedures that are primarily aimed at improving the appearance of one’s smile. Some of the popular cosmetic procedures are teeth whitening, composite bonding, white fillings, dental crowns, bridges, implants, veneers, gum contouring, etc.
Sometimes, the teeth can be naturally out of shape. In some instances, they may get chipped due to external trauma or when you bite into something too hard. Misshapen teeth can make your smile look nasty, which could lead to a lot of embarrassment. Such teeth can be restored using oral restorations such as dental veneers, crowns, or composite bonding. They can be customized to match the exact appearance of the natural teeth, thereby keeping them in disguise.
The teeth tend to stain when you consume a lot of colored foods or do not brush your teeth thoroughly. Teeth discoloration is a prominent concern among people who smoke cigarettes or chew tobacco, which is quite difficult to remove. The teeth can be made to look whiter by applying a whitening gel containing Hydrogen Peroxide. It releases oxygen molecules that penetrate the porous structure of the teeth and bleach the staining particles.
Missing teeth can have a lot of drawbacks, such as displeasing aesthetics, a gap in the jawbone, which can lead to drifting of the teeth, bone deterioration, and embarrassment when anyone mocks you. Hence, it is best to get missing teeth restored using prosthetic restorations. Depending on the oral condition, the number of missing teeth, and your overall state of health, we would suggest dental implants, bridges, or dentures for replacing the teeth you are missing.
