Cosmetic Dental Services For the Making of a Beautiful Smile
The first and foremost step to a beautiful smile is taking care
of your teeth and a thorough examination by your cosmetic
dentist or dentist. The dentist will be able to determine your
oral health and any existing oral issues can be addressed and
corrected before cosmetic work begins. The term "oral health" is
often misleading. People think "oral health" is a beautiful
smile with perfectly shaped and aligned white teeth. But it is
important to understand that there is much more to "oral health"
than just a smile. It is a gateway to overall health.
It is the job of the dentist to ensure that your smile is
healthy and only then he would enhance its appearance. You can
get a smile makeover done that includes a beautiful smile,
whitening and perfectly aligned teeth. Generally people with
stained, yellow and discolored teeth go for whitening of the
teeth to get a good and confident smile. You feel confident if
your teeth are white and people are likely to treat you
differently, even in subtle ways. There are different ways to
make an ordinary smile look stunning. Some of the ways for a
beautiful smile are described below:
1. Overlapped and crooked teeth can be straightened. Many people
have extended teeth and with some cosmetic work by the dentist
the teeth can be aligned.
2. Broken, chipped, or worn teeth can be repaired. To repair
such teeth dental bonding can be considered. Plastic and
materials known as composite resins are used to fill the
cavities.
3. Gaps between teeth can be reduced with the help of braces.
4. Missing teeth can be replaced.
5. Natural looking restoration can be an alternative for
unattractive metal fillings.
6. Stained, yellow or discolored teeth can be whitened.
7. Gum line can be recontoured to reduce the appearance of a
gummy smile.
Restoration is a process of replacing or restoring a missing or
damaged tooth. There are several different methods of tooth
restorations as described below.
Fillings: Filling is one of the processes of dental restoration.
Teeth can be filled with gold, silver or alloys.
Crowns: Dental crowns are used to restore the shape and size of
the tooth. It is a tooth shaped cap that is placed over the
visible portion of the tooth above the gums. It also helps in
strengthening the tooth.
Bridges: Dental bridges help in bridging the gap between one or
more missing teeth. A false tooth can be implanted with the
natural teeth and is called a pontic. It can be made from gold,
silver amalgam, porcelain or alloys.
Implants: This is a replacement tooth root and is a small metal
piece placed into the bone socket. A crown then covers the metal
piece. It helps in reshaping of the teeth and replacing a
missing tooth.
Dentures: These are removable replacements for missing teeth. A
denture can be a complete denture or a partial denture. A
complete denture replaces all teeth whereas a partial denture
consists of some natural teeth and the rest of the teeth are
false.
