Cosmetic Dentistry Services Now Provided By Your Dental Expert

By Harry Izzo


In the past when someone made an appointment to visit a dentist it involved fixing bad teeth, filling cavities and a thorough cleaning. Nowadays a dentist can deliver a long list of treatments. Your local dentist has broadened the services his dental practice can provide you, including cosmetic treatment. Also known as cosmetic dentistry, many patients are taking them up on this offering.

Today there are many different types of cosmetic treatments. The most popular are teeth whitening or bleaching. This is extremely useful if you want to have white teeth just like those seen in a television commercial.

Patients have needed a variant of this procedure to hide stains their teeth, if teeth whitening solutions don't work. The use of dentures is one of the ways people use to improve the functioning of their teeth. They once were used only to help patients chew better, now they are seen as a method for beautifying ones' appearance.

Another cosmetic procedure is dental implants. These became popular as another option to improving the appearance of your front teeth. Implants are a good substitute for teeth that have fallen out. This sometimes happens when they cannot attach to the root any longer.

Another cosmetic dentistry procedure is known as contouring. This is beneficial for those with misshapened or chipped teeth. It involves reshaping your teeth and correcting the crooked ones. This procedure will give you a straighter smile. However, it is only suitable for patients with healthy teeth.

If you want to straighten a number of teeth you have the option of getting metal braces. These kinds of braces force the teeth into a desired position. The process takes months and years to complete. Wearing these braces for a year or two will help readjust a number of your teeth at the same time. Unfortunately protruding wires are uncomfortable because they poke the inside of your mouth.

A good alternative to metal braces is invisible braces. They have the same function but they are hardly noticeable. Invisible braces are as effective as metal ones. They are more comfortable and not visible unless someone is close-up. As long as you follow your dentist's instructions, this procedure will work tremendously for you.

And finally there are veneers, which are porcelain shells that cover chipped or discolored teeth. Veneers are a permanent solution in that they are bonded to the surface enamel of a healthy tooth.

In conclusion the next time you go to a dentist for a semiannual cleaning remember that he has many services at his disposal to make your smile even brighter.
