Almost 90%
of those dazzling smiles displayed in the media are carefully
conceived in a dental office.
Cosmetic dentistry is any dental work that improves the appearance of a
person's teeth, gums and/or bite.
Common
procedures include bleaching, bonding, crowns, veneers and reshaping
and contouring. These improvements are not always just cosmetic. Many
of these treatments can improve oral problems, such as your bite.
Bleaching
is a common and popular chemical process used to whiten
teeth.Discolouration occurs in the enamel and can be caused by
medication, coffee, tea and cigarettes. Discolouration also can be
hereditary or due simply to getting older.
Bonding
Bonding is
tooth-colored material used to fill in gaps or change the color of
teeth.
Crowns,
also known as caps, cover a tooth to restore it to its normal shape
and appearance.
Veneers
are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic placed over the front teeth
to change the color or shape of your teeth.
Contouring
and Reshaping
Tooth
reshaping and contouring, is a procedure to correct crooked teeth,
chipped or irregularly shaped teeth or even overlapping teeth in a
single session.
