Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic Dentistry
Usually cosmetic dentistry includes:
- Adding dental materials to teeth or gums - bonding, porcelain veneers (laminates), crowns (caps), and gum grafts are all examples of aesthetic dentistry.
- Blepharoplasty and gingivectomy are procedures that include the removal of teeth or gum tissue.
- Teeth whitening (bleaching), laser bleaching, and gum depigmentation do not add or remove dental material, tooth structure, or gums.
- Orthodontics is the process of straightening teeth while also improving the contour of the face.
In general, cosmetic dentistry follows symmetrical and harmonious lines. The majority of individuals wish to whiten their teeth and eliminate stains (coffee, cigarettes). Everyone wants to be proud of their smile and show it off, but many people are unable to do so due to gaps in their teeth, yellow teeth, uneven gums, missing teeth, and other issues. These concerns can be addressed with cosmetic dentistry.
Never forget to smile!
