What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is a broad field that focuses on improving the appearance of your smile. This can involve anything from simple teeth whitening to more complex procedures such as crowns, bridges or veneers. Cosmetic dental treatments can give you the perfect smile you desire.

What Can Cosmetic Dentistry Do For Me?

Cosmetic dentistry can help you achieve a variety of goals. Whether you want to fix discolored, chipped or misshapen teeth, or even close gaps between teeth, cosmetic dentistry has you covered. It can also improve the overall appearance of your smile and boost your confidence. This type of dental care may be good for you if you have:

• Chipped or cracked teeth.
• Small gaps or spaces between your teeth.
• Tooth discoloration and staining.
• Misshapen teeth.
• Misaligned teeth.

Common Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments

Here is some information from Crest about common cosmetic treatments available:

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening can be one of the simplest and least expensive ways to improve your smile. Bleaching your teeth with in-office products in your dentist’s office provides best results. Or, you can buy a mold and gels from your dentist to bleach your teeth at home.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored porcelain or resin that cover the front surface of the teeth. We then bond these thin shells to the front of the teeth. This changes their color, shape, size, or length.

Dental Bonding

In dental bonding, we place a tooth-colored, putty-like resin is on the tooth. We then harden it with an ultraviolet or laser light, bonding the material to the tooth. Your dentist then trims, shapes, and polishes it. Bonding can repair decayed, chipped, cracked, or misshapen teeth. It is also a good cosmetic alternative to, or replacement for, amalgam or silver fillings.

Dental Crown

A dental crown, also called a cap, fits over and replaces the entire decayed or damaged tooth above the gum line. This restores its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns keep a weak tooth from breaking or hold a cracked tooth together. Further, they can be used cosmetically to cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth. Crowns can be made from metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal, resin, or ceramic.

Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays, also called indirect fillings, are made from gold, porcelain, or composite materials and fill decayed or damaged teeth. Dental fillings are molded into place during an office visit; however, inlays and onlays are created in a dental laboratory and bonded into place by your dentist. The filling is called an “inlay” when the material is bonded within the center of a tooth; it is called an “onlay” when the filling includes one or more points of the tooth or covers the biting surface. Inlays and onlays preserve as many healthy teeth as possible and are an alternative to crowns.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are titanium replacement tooth roots inserted into the bone socket of the missing tooth. As the jawbone heals, it grows around the implanted metal post, anchoring it securely in the jaw and providing a foundation for a replacement tooth.

Other Cosmetic Dentistry Options

A bridge is made of crowns for the teeth on either side of a gap with false teeth in between. A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth. Dental braces can straighten crooked or misaligned teeth and work by applying continuous pressure over a period of time to slowly move teeth in a specific direction.
