What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Currently, cosmetic & family dentistry is more popular than ever, as more and more people are looking for ways to recover or improve the appearance of their smiles. According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, around 99.7 percent of adults think a smile is an important social asset. In some cases, today’s cosmetic dental treatments also have a restorative component.
Here are the basic cosmetic dentistry procedures performed by United Dental:
Advanced cosmetic dentistry includes:
● Dental Veneers ● Dental Bonding ● Dental Implants ● Dental Bridges ● Dental Crowns / Tooth Caps ● Invisalign ● Teeth Whitening ● White Tooth Fillings ● Inlays and Onlays ● Dental Botox
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are perfect for restoring cracks and chips. Veneers also help to change naturally yellow or grey teeth and achieve a white smile. There are two leading types of dental veneers: porcelain veneers and composite resin veneers. For both types, a custom-made, thin covering is placed over the tooth, then shaped and colored to best suit the patient's natural smile. Besides improving the appearance of your teeth, Veneers also help to make them stronger and better protected.
Dental Bonding Procedure and Treatment
Dental bonding is another perfect way to fix minor imperfections on a tooth. It is mainly used to fill gaps, cover stains, and restore chips. A thin covering of composite resin is placed on the tooth. Then the resin is shaped and colored to suit the patient. This simple, quick, and affordable procedure are perfect for patients who have minor imperfections in their teeth and wish to improve them.
Dental Implants
After severe tooth loss or tooth decay, dental implants are used to replace teeth. Our professional cosmetic dentists will first attach a screw to the jaw to provide support. Then, the implant is fixed into the missing tooth's bone socket. After the tooth is properly secured, the dental implant will blend into the surrounding teeth.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge helps to replace the missing teeth permanently with false teeth. The bridge is connected to the teeth on both sides of the gap. Bridges are generally made of metal or porcelain, a mixture of the 2, or zirconia. They are fixed in place and, for many people, are the best alternative to dentures.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown, also called a cap, fits over and perfectly replaces the whole decayed or damaged teeth above the gum line, resetting their size, shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns help to prevent a weak tooth from breaking or keep a cracked tooth together; they are also used cosmetically to cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth. Crowns can be made from porcelain-fused-to-metal, metal, ceramic, or resin.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that helps to straighten teeth without using metal braces. Invisalign is a range of custom-made, clear braces that cover your teeth and gently pull them into the proper position. Because they can be taken on and off, they are less visible than traditional metal braces.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a general and cosmetic dentistry procedure and is the least expensive. Over the years, teeth can become stained from drinks, food, medications, or other habits like smoking. So, many people turn to teeth whitening to have a brighter smile.
Here at United Dental, after your teeth are cleaned of tartar, plaque, and other debris, teeth whitening is done, which bleach the surface of teeth to create a whiter appearance. While products like rinses, toothpaste, and Whitestrips can offer some results, our professional tooth whitening provides a shade up to 6 to 8 times lighter.
White Tooth Fillings
White fillings, also called dental composite, are the tooth-colored resins used to fill cavities. This compound resin is made of a blend of fillers and plastics such as dimethylglyoxime and silica, which bond with the tooth’s surface.
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and Onlays, also called indirect fillings, are used when a tooth is too much decayed to support a typical filling. These types of fillings are created in our dental laboratory and are bonded in place by our cosmetic dentistry professionals.
There are many different advanced cosmetic dentistry reatments that will improve your smile. However, it's essential to consult with our professional dentists and discuss the best treatment option for your individual requirements and budget.
Dental Botox
Dental Botox is another popular treatment in advanced cosmetic dentistry and is more than just aesthetics. Dental Botox can help to correct disorders and alleviate pains. Dental Botox is also used for many chronic diseases such as Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, masseter hypertrophy and bruxism. It can also help while correcting high lip lines.
