Cosmetic dentistry has a lot of advanced technologies – from tooth fillings to full mouth reconstructions. The good thing about these is that procedures done are geared towards maintaining as much of the natural teeth or tooth as possible.
There are a lot of cosmetic dentistry procedures. However the most common procedures done are inlays or onlays, composite bonding, teeth whitening, dental veneers and dental implants.
Inlays or onlays are also called indirect fillings. An inlay is made of porcelain or composite materials. These materials are used as fillings for teeth which have tooth decay or somewhat similar damage. These are created in a dental laboratory before it is fitted and adhesively placed into your teeth by your dentist.
Composite bonding is undergone by those with chipped, broken, discoloured, or decayed teeth. The materials used in this procedure resemble enamel and dentin, for a natural look to your teeth. Unlike inlays and onlays, the materials used in this procedure are applied to the surface of a tooth.
Teeth whitening is the most common cosmetic dentistry requested. A brighter, whiter smile makes you look younger and more approachable.
Dental veneers are composite or porcelain laminates which are also adhesively bonded to the surface of a tooth. This is to correct and repair chips and cracks so as to improve appearance and severe tooth discoloration.
Dental implants are also one of the more highly sought after cosmetic dentistry procedures. Implants use a prosthetic to replace the damage tooth or missing tooth.
