Your Teeth are a very important part of not just your physical appearance but also it affects your self-esteem. Many people today feel hesitant due to this, which has given rise to cosmetic dentistry procedures. There are several procedures that are performed by the dentists. The question arises which procedure is the best. Here we have discovered a list of top six cosmetic dentistry procedures that might help.
Starting from teeth whitening there are several others that help in recovering the discolouration and tooth health.
Veneers: Dental veneers are made for individual patients depending upon the structure and size of the teeth. A dental adhesive is used in order to attach veneers to the front of the teeth. This process stabilizes the cracked tooth and fills the gap between teeth. The process enhances the look of the teeth and helps against further damage. This is a very popular procedure among common people as well as celebrities.
Dental Implant: is a procedure in which a rooted device is implanted into the actual jaw. A small titanium rod is placed into the jaw to support the crown where the tooth is missing. Once the bone and the supporting tissue fuse to the implant, it is permanently secured. Patients need to diligently take care of their teeth during the procedure and clean the food junk from the area. With the advancement in technology, dental implants are now done even without surgery.
Dental Bridge: Dental bridge is created in order to fill the gap between the teeth where a tooth is lost. Bridges are mostly fabricated outside the mouth. Bridges are mostly made in gold or porcelain fused metal also depending on how patients like.
Dental Bonding: bonding involves an adhesive being attached to the tooth surface.
Generally offered to patients with crooked tooth or patients with injuries. A resin material is attached and is subjected to high powered light.
Teeth Whitening: Teeth whitening is the most common process which includes bleaching of teeth to reduce discolouration. Discolouration may occur due to excess tarter deposit which is a result of unhygienic food consumption. Whiteners are used to maintain the colour of the teeth which are also present in toothpaste.
Inlays and Onlays: these are also called indirect filling which is performed when there is mild decay in the tooth. It involves placing an inlay directly onto the tooth surface. Onlay is used when there is need to cover the tooth’s entire surface. These are made in a laboratory using a composite resin material and attached using a dental cement adhesive.
Cosmetic Bonding: Cosmetic bonding is a procedure that helps in improving the smile by whitening the teeth. It uses a tooth-coloured composite-resin material which is applied to whiten the teeth. It is one of the easiest and cost-effective methods used in teeth whitening.
Cosmetic bonding helps to repair a cracked, fractured and decayed tooth. Sometimes, bonding also is used as an alternative to amalgam fillings to protect a portion of the tooth's root that has been exposed when gums recede due to unhealthy food consumption or with age.
