What are the benefits of aesthetic dentistry?

Aesthetic dentistry offers a variety of benefits. It can make your teeth look straighter, whiter, and healthier. It can also give you a more youthful appearance.

What aesthetic dentistry procedures are available?

Aesthetic dentistry is often thought of as only elective procedures because the results aren’t medically necessary, but that’s not always the case. For example, a dental crown is a restorative procedure that repairs a damaged tooth. It’s just that the end result is beautiful and restores a smile to its former glory.

Some of the aesthetic dental procedures available include:

What is teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening services use special whitening chemicals or techniques to remove stains and discoloration from the surface of your teeth. When your teeth become stained or discolored, it’s easy to feel self-conscious about your smile. However, with the help of your dentist, you can say goodbye to stained teeth once and for all.

What are veneers?

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells made from tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front side of your teeth. They’re often used to correct teeth that are chipped, broken, misshapen, or discolored.

What are crowns?

Crowns are a type of dental restoration that completely cover a tooth. The crown is molded to fit the shape of the tooth, so it looks natural and blends in. A crown may also be called an “onlay” or a “cap.”

What are bridges?

Bridges are a way of replacing a missing tooth or teeth. Bridges are made up of two dental crowns, which “bridge” the gap created by one or more missing teeth. The crowns fit over healthy teeth surrounding the gap, anchoring the bridge in place.

Bridges can be made out of a variety of materials, including porcelain and gold. Gold is stronger than porcelain, so it may be a better choice for back teeth, which are under greater biting and chewing pressure. Porcelain can be matched to the color of your natural teeth, so it is a good choice for front teeth.

What are dental implants?

A dental implant is a screw or cylinder made from titanium, a biocompatible metal. Using a surgical procedure, a dental implant is implanted into the jawbone, where it fuses to the bone. The dental implant acts as an anchor for a dental crown, bridge, or denture.

Braces

Braces can straighten teeth by applying pressure. Braces function by gently pushing and pulling teeth into place over time.
