Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of a person’s teeth, gums, and overall smile. Unlike general dentistry, which addresses dental health and functionality, cosmetic dentistry is more about aesthetics.
Teeth Whitening:
Purpose: To remove stains and discoloration, giving teeth a brighter appearance.
Types:
In-Office Whitening: Performed by a dentist using strong bleaching agents for faster results.
At-Home Whitening: Custom-made trays with lower-concentration bleaching agents for gradual whitening.
Ideal for: People with yellow or stained teeth caused by food, beverages, tobacco, or aging.
Dental Veneers:
Purpose: Thin, custom-made shells of porcelain or resin that cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance.
Procedure: A small amount of enamel is removed from the tooth, and the veneer is bonded to the surface.
Ideal for: Correcting chipped, broken, discolored, or misaligned teeth.
Types:
Dental Bonding:
Purpose: Repairing chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth using tooth-colored resin.
Procedure: The dentist applies a bonding material and shapes it to the tooth, then hardens it with a special light.
Ideal for: Small cosmetic changes like repairing chips, closing gaps, or reshaping teeth.
Dental Crowns:
Purpose: To cover a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance.
Procedure: The tooth is reduced in size, and a crown is custom-made to fit over it.
Ideal for: Strengthening and improving the appearance of a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth. Also used after root canals.
