Cosmetic dentists aim to improve your teeth’ appearance. The dental professional can treat stained, chipped, broken, uneven, and gapped teeth. Your Ardsley Cosmetic Dentist majorly focuses on improving your smile. Your dentist can recommend one or multiple treatments depending on your disorders and goals. Some cosmetic procedures have aesthetic and restorative benefits, such as composite bonding. You can qualify for cosmetic dental treatments if you have healthy teeth and gums. If you have severe disorders like gingivitis, your dentist will treat them first. Cosmetic dentists perform many dental procedures, including:
Veneers
Veneers are thin shells your dentist bonds over your natural teeth to improve your dental appearance. This dental procedure treats various disorders, such as gapped, cracked, and discolored teeth. Veneer placement is a simple procedure that involves one or two dental visits. Your dentist customizes your veneers to match the color of your existing teeth, giving you a natural smell. Veneers are thin shells, so the dentist only extracts a small part of your enamel.
Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening is a common cosmetic dental procedure. It involves your dentist cleaning your teeth using special agents to remove stains, plaque, and tartar, brightening your smile. There are other teeth whitening techniques, like using over-the-counter whitening gels and strips, but in-office teeth whitening is the best because it helps eliminate deep stains. After the procedure, your dentist can suggest whitening toothpaste to keep your results. You may also need to avoid or limit some foods and drinks contributing to your teeth’ discoloration.
Composite bonding
Composite bonding involves your dentist using a special material that looks like the color of your teeth’s enamel to repair decayed, damaged, and stained teeth. The treatment includes your dentist drilling out your tooth decay, applying the composite on its surface, molding it into the appropriate shape, and culling it with a high-intensity light. Composite bonding corrects decayed, chipped, and cracked teeth, improving your dental look and smile and boosting oral health.
Dental implants
A dental implant replaces a lost tooth and its root. The implant is made of titanium which your dentist surgically implants in your jawbone and places a crown or denture on top to restore your chewing function. You must have healthy gums and enough jawbone to undergo dental implant placement. If you observe oral health, your dental implants can last a lifetime. Dental implants help stimulate your jawbone, preventing deterioration.
Dental Procedures Dentures
Dentures are false teeth that replace lost teeth and surrounding tissue. They are commonly made of resin, porcelain, metal, or acrylic. Dentures can either be complete and partial. You use complete dentures when you lose all your natural teeth, while partial dentures replace one or several missing teeth. Dentures are removable, so cleaning them and observing oral hygiene is easy. Dentures restore chewing function, facial structure, dental appearance, and smile.
