How to Get a "Hollywood smile"
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

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,

The Cheapest Diastema Closure Technique in India
Diastema closure is a naturally occurring gap in the tooth
row, most commonly between the incisors and first premolar. A diastema creates
a dark spot within a smile as the darkness of the back of the mouth shows. It
is also known as gap closure. Diastema is an adjustable dental
condition. This includes traditional braces, Invisalign, or direct dental
bonding to make the teeth wider and thus fill up the space.
Procedure
Tooth gap closure treatment of the teeth can be
done using several methods like orthodontics, composite bonding, or porcelain
veneers for optimal aesthetic results.
Some people get braces, which move the teeth together.
Often, no matter where the diastema is, you must wear a full set of braces on
both your upper and lower teeth. That is, because moving any teeth affects your
entire mouth. If your lateral incisors are too small, your dentist may suggest
widening them using crowns, veneers or bonding.
Tooth bonding provides one way a dentist can close the teeth gap. Diastema bonding can be placed on the two teeth that lie on
each side of the gap so to reduce the gap's overall width. Depending on its
original size, a dentist and patient might decide to fill in a diastema just
partially or else close it all of the way.
A diastema that takes place because of a mismatch between
the teeth and the jaw does not have symptoms. If you have a space because you
are missing teeth, you might need more extensive dental repair. This might
include dental implants, a bridge or a partial denture.
The major advantage of this procedure is that most of the
person’s original tooth structure is maintained. Orthodontics treatment is very
useful to maintain the diastema closure.
Thangam's dental care is a multi speciality dental clinic
situated in the heart of Chennai city, with all latest equipments and providing
all types of treatment modalities. Thangams qualified dentists helps you to get
a new look to your face through gap closure treatments.

Cheap Dental Crowns in India
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a tooth. It covers the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength and to improve its appearance. Depending on your habits and the condition of your gums, there can be some drawbacks. Dental crowns cover the entire visible surface area of an affected tooth and add strength, durability, and stability to the tooth. Approximately 85% of dental crowns and bridges are metal-based and 15% ceramic-based.
There are various situations that would require the placement of a crown, such as root canals, lost fillings, dental bridges, decay below a filling, and chipping and cracking of tooth enamel. The cracking or breakage of teeth can be caused by age, tooth decay, fillings and an improper bite.

There are various situations that would require the placement of a crown, such as root canals, lost fillings, dental bridges, decay below a filling, and chipping and cracking of tooth enamel. The cracking or breakage of teeth can be caused by age, tooth decay, fillings and an improper bite.
A dental crown may be needed to:
- To protect a weak tooth (eg, from decay) from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth
- To Support a tooth that has been badly damaged by tooth decay
- To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't a lot of tooth left
- To cover misshaped or severely discolored teeth
- To hold a dental bridge in place
- To cover a dental implant
- To Protect a worn tooth
- To cover a tooth that has been endodontically treated (had a root canal)
The Dental Crown Procedure
Depending on the extent of the decay or damage to the tooth, the dentist may perform a root canal before placing a crown on the tooth. If this is the case, the dentist may need to build a foundation for the crown after the root canal has been performed, also known as a "post-and-core" foundation.
Before the crown can be placed on the tooth, the dentist must file the tooth down to make room for it. Then an impression of the tooth and the surrounding teeth will be made. While the crown is being created, a temporary acrylic crown will be placed on the tooth.
When the permanent crowns are ready, the temporary crowns are replaced at a separate visit. The crown will last anywhere from seven to 40 years.
