Beautiful smiles are being created daily through various cosmetic dental procedures. You can come to the dental office with dull, dingy-looking teeth and walk out with a bright, gleaming smile. You can enter the office with a smile you hate to show and leave with one that is Hollywood perfection. Cosmetic dental procedures can make a big difference in the way your smile looks. There are many procedures that can enhance it, but here are a few of the most popular ones.
Teeth Whitening
Of all the cosmetic dental procedures available, teeth whitening is the simplest and most popular all over the world. Simply brushing and flossing your teeth will not make the stains go completely away. Even regular dental checkups with professional cleaning will not keep your teeth gleaming white, although it is the best way to ensure they are thoroughly cleaned and superficial stains will be removed.
In order to get that dazzling white look, your teeth need to be whitened. Even though there are many over-the-counter teeth whitening products at your disposal, none will be safer or more effective than getting them whitened professionally. Your dentist can improve the whiteness of your teeth by several shades and accomplish that without compromising the health of your teeth or gums.
Composite Fillings
Although composite fillings have been used in filling anterior cavities since the 1960s, it is only with advancements in dental technology and materials that back teeth can now be filled with tooth-colored fillings as well. Silver amalgam fillings have been used for over a century due to their strength and durability. Now, composite fillings have the same qualities, and even better.
Due to the way in which composite fillings bond to the tooth structure, they require less grinding down of healthy tooth structure. Composite fillings bind directly to the tooth, so there is less chance of leakage on the tooth/filling borders. You can now have a fully-natural look from the front to the back of your mouth with composite fillings.
Dental Veneers
One of the most efficient methods of doing a smile makeover when you have minor dental defects is to invest in dental veneers. Thin porcelain shells are adhered to the face of the teeth within your smile view and instantly, you have a perfect smile.
Dental veneers are perfect for masking a variety of dental blemishes such as mottled teeth, misshapen teeth, small gaps and badly discolored teeth. They can even be used to give length or width to teeth.
