Learn more about cosmetic dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is about more than just not being happy with your smile. Beyond improving the appearance of your teeth, cosmetic dentistry also helps improve the function of your teeth. The types of specialists that perform cosmetic dentistry require an additional three years of training.
Prosthodontists specialize in rebuilding the jaw and face because of injuries or congenital disorders. This includes treating missing teeth with implants, veneers and whitening.
Orthodontists specialize in braces. Previously, braces were used mostly for teenagers, but today many adults choose to improve their bite and smile.
Here are some common cosmetic dental treatments
Whitening or "tooth bleaching" is a very common treatment. There are many over the counter whitening products; as well as procedures that are performed in an office setting.
Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth. A dental bridge may be used to fill a gap which is held in place by crowns on adjacent healthy teeth.
Veneers and Porcelain Restorations are laminates attached directly to the teeth. They are used to close gaps, fix chipped or cracked teeth or improve the appearance of discolored teeth.
Bonding is a process where enamel-like material is applied to the tooth. It is then shaped and polished as it hardens.
Invisalign are custom made removable braces. Invisalign are clear in appearance and are more comfortable to wear than traditional braces. At the start of treatment, a series of Invisalign appliances are created for the patient. As treatment progresses and the patient’s alignment improves, they use the next appliance in the series until treatment is complete.
