Cosmetic Dentistry:
Beautify Your Smile

There are a variety of cosmetic procedures available, any one of which can bring a cheery glow to your smile. Whether putting up with discolored teeth due to some accident, or being embarrased by oversized teeth since birth, the days of feeling your life is ruined because there is no dental solution are now over.

Bleaching – Make Your Smile Bright

By using the teeth-whitening technique of bleaching, you can say goodbye to stained or discolored teeth forever. Teeth whitening is a simple procedure and can even be done at home if you wish. Your dentist will prepare a chemical solution of carbamide peroxide for the bleaching. It will take only a few weeks to achieve your desired level of whiteness. Thereafter, whenever you smile you will give silent thanks to your dentist and the art of cosmetic dentistry.

Porcelain Veneers – Cover All Ills

This is a revolutionary new method to tackle the problems of discolored, disfigured, or crooked teeth, or to fill the gap between two teeth. The affected tooth is first thinned or buffed. Then a veneer made of porcelain is placed over the surface of the tooth. A special cement is used to glue the veneer to the tooth. A laser beam is then applied to help build the strength of the bond. Porcelain veneers are a very cost-effective procedure and are cheaper than the placing crowns. In addition, the longevity, color and stability of porcelain veneer is excellent.

Bonding is an alternative to veneering, but the tooth-colored material used for it is not strong enough to withstand stains or discoloring over time. This method is normally used for fixing small problems of slightly decayed teeth, filling up of small cavities, or to repair a broken surface.

Dental Implants – New Teeth Are Now A Reality

This constitutes a major breakthrough in cosmetic dentistry. If you've lost some of your teeth due to accident, bacterial infection or disease, you need not feel that the situation is hopeless. Visit a licensed dentist near you. He will examine your jaws and assess your requirement. Under this treatment, screws, cylinders or blades are surgically placed into the jawbone through surgery. It is then left undisturbed for several weeks for healing. Later, dentures are screwed on it. This may seem a costly affair, but not for those who desire absolute safety and security in their teeth.
